In coating application, orange peel, craters and sagging have long troubled many manufacturers. These problems often stem from insufficient leveling, preventing the coating from forming a uniform film. Conventional additives show poor compatibility, low stability or impact on final performance — more professional and efficient solutions are urgently needed.
Based on in-depth research into the climate and process characteristics of Guangdong, Chemi Tech has developed a series of waterborne leveling agents. Through multiple mechanisms — lowering system surface tension, promoting lateral flow and suppressing Bernard cells — they significantly improve coating spread performance. Implementation follows three steps: first, formulation diagnosis identifies the causes of leveling defects; second, 0.1%–0.5% of the leveling agent is added accordingly with optimized stirring; finally, the best results are achieved through viscosity adjustment and drying curve control.
After adopting the KMP-288 leveling agent, a local furniture coatings plant saw film gloss rise from 85% to 93% and orange peel cut by more than 80%. The production manager commented: "The application window has widened noticeably — performance stays stable even in high humidity."
We provide sample matching and on-site technical guidance to ensure every product precisely matches customer needs. Chemi Tech keeps innovating leveling technology to help you create flawless coated surfaces.
