In recent years, with the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, various industries have been actively seeking green and sustainable development paths. As an important additive in the fields of coatings, inks, adhesives, etc., leveling agents have also attracted attention for their green development.

The development of leveling agents in the future will pay more attention to the use of environmentally friendly materials, such as bio based materials and renewable resources, to reduce pollution to the environment. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common pollutants in industries such as coatings and inks. Future leveling agents will be committed to developing low VOC products to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. While pursuing environmental protection, leveling agents also need to maintain or even improve their original performance, such as leveling, anti shrinkage, anti adhesion, etc., to meet the needs of different fields.

However, with the continuous development of leveling agents, we are facing more and more challenges, such as breaking through existing technological bottlenecks in developing environmentally friendly and high-performance leveling agents, improving the compatibility of biobased materials, and reducing VOC emissions. The use of environmentally friendly materials often means higher costs, and how to reduce costs while ensuring performance is also a major challenge for the future development of leveling agents. With the increasing demand of consumers for environmentally friendly products, market demand is also constantly changing. Leveling agent companies need to closely monitor market trends and adjust product strategies in a timely manner.

In the face of challenges, what we need to do is to increase research and development investment, break through technological bottlenecks through technological innovation, and develop high-performance and environmentally friendly leveling agents. Optimize supply chain management, closely cooperate with upstream and downstream enterprises, reduce raw material costs, and improve production efficiency. Pay close attention to changes in market demand, adjust product strategies in a timely manner, and meet consumer needs.
