Leveling agents

Leveling agents are an important component in the coatings industry and are used to aid the application of coatings and achieve a uniform surface appearance. These additives can have different formulations, including additives or special solvents, which are used to control the viscosity of the paint and improve the flow properties.

The addition of flow aids reduces the surface tension of the paint, which helps it to spread evenly and without visible brushstrokes or unevenness. This enables a smooth surface with a professional finish. Leveling agents are often used in high quality paints, especially in areas such as the automotive industry or furniture where a flawless appearance is crucial. The correct application of leveling agents can produce coatings with improved aesthetic properties and higher quality.
