Chemi Tech Leveling & Wetting Agent Solutions: Eliminate Coating Defects and Enhance Surface Quality

In industrial coating and printing applications, surface defects such as cratering, orange peel, and fish eyes frequently compromise product quality and production efficiency. These issues often stem from inadequate substrate wetting or poor leveling performance. Traditional additives struggle to resolve coating anomalies in complex working conditions due to compatibility or stability limitations.  

Chemi Tech specializes in the development and innovation of leveling and wetting agents, addressing market pain points with a three-step solution:  

Step 1: Diagnosis and Analysis. Laboratory simulations identify the root causes of substrate surface tension and coating compatibility issues.  

Step 2: Customized Formulation. Tailored agent models are provided based on substrate characteristics (e.g., plastic, metal, or composites) and process conditions (e.g., high-speed spraying or roller coating), ensuring rapid spreading and bubble elimination.  

Step 3: Process Optimization. Adjusting dosage and mixing methods according to application scenarios achieves uniform coating surfaces, avoiding rework.  

A case study involved an automotive parts manufacturer experiencing localized cratering during polyurethane topcoat spraying, reducing yield. By using Chemi Tech's silicone-modified leveling wetting agent KMP-208 at only 0.3% addition, wettability was significantly improved, resulting in a smooth, defect-free coating surface, 30% enhanced adhesion, and 20% increased production efficiency.
