About Leveling Additives

Leveling Additives

Leveling Additives are the silicone-containing surface additives, which are suitable for ambient-curing plastic systems as well as solvent-borne coating systems rendered with an efficient reduction of surface tension. Proffered with excellent substrate wetting, these prevent cratering and boost surface slip. These are the solvent-free additives suited for solvent-borne, water-borne, and solvent-free systems which boost surface slip and considerably cut down the surface tension at reduced doses. These can also UV-reactive printing inks as well as overprint varnishes and powder coats. Leveling Additives are made to modify the leveling and prevents craters. The additives are suited for ambient curing plastic systems ans strongly decrease the surface tension.

Superior Surface Finishing for Various Applications

Formulated to dramatically improve the appearance and smoothness of coatings, paints, and inks, this leveling additive delivers professional-quality finishes. Its compatibility with a broad range of resins and polymers makes it a versatile solution for multiple industrial sectors. Whether used in waterborne or solventborne formulations, it ensures uniform film formation while minimizing surface imperfections.

Environmentally Responsible and Safe

Meeting modern environmental regulations, this product is APEO-free, non-poisonous, and boasts a neutral pH of 6.57.5. It features a high flash point of over 100C, minimizing hazards during application and storage. The additives eco-friendly profile, combined with ISO 9001:2015 certification, aligns with sustainable industrial practices.

Efficient Dispersion and Simple Handling

The additives clear, viscous liquid form allows for easy incorporation and excellent solubility in both water and organic solvents. Its performance remains consistent across various systems due to outstanding dispersion properties. Simple handling and packaging in multiple sizes ensure flexible supply for diverse operational needs.

FAQs of Leveling Additives:

Q: How should the leveling additive be incorporated into coating formulations?

A: To achieve optimal results, add the leveling additive slowly while stirring into the coating, paint, or ink formulation. It can be blended during the pre-mix or letdown stage, ensuring it disperses thoroughly throughout both waterborne and solventborne systems.

Q: What benefits does this leveling additive provide in industrial applications?

A: The additive improves overall surface appearance by eliminating minor imperfections, such as craters and brush marks, and promotes even film formation. Its use enhances gloss, uniformity, and durability in coatings, paints, and inks.

Q: What is the recommended storage process for this product?

A: Store the additive in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed to maintain purity and quality throughout its shelf life of up to 2 years.

Q: When should this leveling additive be used in coating manufacturing?

A: It should be introduced during the formulation phase, either in the pre-mix or letdown stages, to ensure proper integration and maximum effectiveness in the final product.

Q: Where can this leveling additive be applied?

A: It is ideal for use in industrial and commercial formulations of coatings, paints, and inksespecially where improved surface finish and compatibility with various resins and polymers are required.

Q: What packaging sizes are available for this leveling additive?

A: The product is supplied in 25kg, 50kg, and 200kg drum sizes, catering to a wide range of operational needs, from small-scale production to large industrial applications.

Q: Is this product safe and environmentally friendly for industrial use?

A: Yes, the additive is APEO-free, non-poisonous, and manufactured to high environmental and safety standards, including ISO 9001:2015 certification. Its neutral pH and high flash point reduce risks during use and storage.
