Leveling Agents
Flow and leveling additives that manage surface tension gradients so the film levels out evenly, with controlled slip, mar resistance and a uniform appearance.
Typical application systems
Chemistry directions
- Polyacrylate leveling agents
- Polyester-modified siloxanes
- Slip and mar additives
- UV-reactive siloxanes
How it works
Surface tension gradients inside the drying film are what produce orange peel, brush marks and Bénard structures. Leveling additives even out those gradients and add a controlled slip layer at the surface.
What it solves
- Orange peel and poor flow on vertical surfaces
- Uneven gloss and visible application marks
- Bénard cells in convection-drying films
- Insufficient slip and mar resistance
