Chemi Tech Silicone-Free Leveling Agent: Professional Solution for Coating Surface Defects

Surface defects like orange peel, cratering and pinholes have long challenged coating applicators. While traditional silicone-based leveling agents improve leveling, they often compromise intercoat adhesion and recoatability. The market demands innovative solutions that deliver excellent leveling without side effects.

Chemi Tech addresses this need with specialized silicone-free leveling agents. These products utilize unique polymer structures to form uniform surface films, reducing surface tension and promoting flow without introducing siloxane risks. The mechanism includes rapid interface spreading, suppressing Benard vortex formation, and facilitating bubble escape to minimize surface defects.

A three-step implementation process ensures optimal results: First, incorporate 1%-3% leveling agent into the coating formula with low-speed mixing. Second, adjust spraying parameters to control film thickness during application. Third, maintain clean curing conditions to avoid contamination. A automotive parts manufacturer experiencing severe orange peel in direct-to-metal coatings achieved mirror-like leveling with Chemi Tech's KMP-302 agent at 2% dosage. The coating passed 500-hour salt spray testing and cross-cut adhesion tests, raising product yield to 99.6%.

This solution suits industrial coatings, plastic coatings and ink systems, particularly benefiting multi-layer applications. Chemi Tech provides technical support and sample testing to help customers optimize formulations and validate performance.
