High-Performance Powder Coating Leveling Agent
Product Overview:
Our Leveling Agent is a specialty polymer-based additive engineered to significantly enhance the surface quality and flow characteristics of powder coating formulations. Designed to eliminate common surface imperfections, this additive ensures the creation of smooth, high-gloss, and film-thin coatings that meet the highest aesthetic and protective standards.
Key Benefits & Functions:
Eliminates Surface Defects: Effectively reduces and prevents orange peel, pinholes, cratering, and fish-eyes, promoting a uniform and flawless film surface.
Optimizes Surface Tension: Reduces the overall surface tension of the coating, allowing the powder to flow and level out evenly before curing.
Enhanced Substrate Wetting: Improves adhesion by ensuring the coating spreads uniformly across the substrate, even on edges and complex geometries.
Improved Degassing: Facilitates the release of trapped air and moisture during the curing process to prevent bubbling.
Consistent Gloss: Delivers a uniform appearance across the entire coated surface, enhancing the visual appeal of the final product.
Applications:
Ideal for use in a wide range of powder coating systems, including epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, and hybrid blends. It is particularly recommended for applications requiring high decorative value, such as automotive parts, architectural aluminum, home appliances, and general industrial metal finishing.
Dosage & Compatibility:
Typically added at 0.5% to 1.5% of the total formulation weight. Supplied as a free-flowing powder, it integrates seamlessly into the manufacturing process via dry-mixing or extrusion, ensuring excellent dispersion without affecting the storage stability of the powder.Â
