Silicone Leveling Agent Solution - Chemi Tech Improves Coating Smoothness

In industrial coating applications, poor leveling is a common issue leading to defects such as orange peel, pinholes, and craters, which compromise appearance and performance. Traditional leveling agents often suffer from compatibility issues, crater formation, or foam stabilization, resulting in inconsistent coating quality.

Chemi Tech silicone leveling agent utilizes specially modified siloxane technology to precisely control surface tension, promoting rapid leveling while suppressing surface defects. Its molecular design balances migration and compatibility, ensuring uniform spreading without repulsion within the coating system.

The solution involves three steps: First, select the appropriate leveling agent grade based on the polarity of the coating system; second, incorporate at 0.1%-0.5% dosage with low-speed mixing; third, validate leveling performance through coating tests and adjust process parameters.

An automotive parts manufacturer experienced persistent orange peel in primer spraying. After adding Chemi Tech's leveling agent, coating gloss increased by 30%, orange peel was virtually eliminated, and interlayer adhesion remained unaffected. The customer has maintained purchases for twelve months with significantly improved product yield.

Chemi Tech leveling agent is suitable for solvent-based, solvent-free, and high-solid systems, enhancing surface quality and production efficiency.
