Leveling agents fall into two broad categories.

One is by adjusting the viscosity of the paint film and the leveling time. Most of these leveling agents are high-boiling organic solvents or their mixtures, such as isophorone, diacetone alcohol, Solvesso150, etc .;

The other is by adjusting the surface properties of the paint film. Generally speaking, the leveling agents generally refer to this type of leveling agent. This type of leveling agent migrates to the surface of the paint film through limited compatibility, affecting surface properties such as the interfacial tension of the paint film, so that the paint film achieves good leveling. According to different chemical structures, there are three main types of leveling agents: acrylics, silicones and fluorocarbons.

Tomorrow we will push you for a certain formula system, how to choose the right leveling agent variety according to the nature of the formula and the performance expected from the leveling agent, please continue to pay attention to us!
