As a key additive in the coatings and ink industry, leveling agents are closely related to technological innovation in their development process. With the continuous changes in the market and increasingly strict environmental requirements, the future development of leveling agents will present a trend of balancing technological innovation and environmental protection.

1、 Technological innovation leads the development of leveling agents

With the rapid development of synthetic resin and polymer technology, more new types of leveling agents will be developed to meet the needs of different coatings and ink products. For example, the emergence of new leveling agents such as twin type silicone leveling agents and polyester leveling agents has brought new possibilities to the coatings and ink industries. Future leveling agents will pay more attention to high performance, including improving leveling efficiency, enhancing wetting performance, optimizing coating glossiness, and so on. This will help further improve the application performance and product quality of coatings and inks. In addition to the basic leveling function, future leveling agents will also have more additional functions, such as defoaming, anti settling, thickening, etc. This will make the role of leveling agents in coatings and ink formulations more comprehensive and diverse.

2、 Environmental trends drive leveling agent upgrade

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and strict regulations, more and more paint and ink manufacturers are using environmentally friendly leveling agents. These leveling agents use bio based, renewable raw materials or low VOC (volatile organic compound) formulations, which are environmentally friendly and easily biodegradable. In the future, the production of leveling agents will pay more attention to the promotion and application of green production technologies. By improving production processes, optimizing raw material selection, reducing energy consumption and emissions, green production and sustainable development of leveling agents can be achieved. With the continuous improvement of global environmental standards, the production and use of leveling agents will be subject to stricter regulation and restrictions. This will drive the leveling agent industry to continuously upgrade and innovate to meet higher environmental requirements.

In summary, the future development of leveling agents will present a trend that emphasizes both technological innovation and environmental protection. By continuously developing new leveling agents, improving product performance, promoting environmentally friendly leveling agents and green production technologies, the leveling agent industry will continuously adapt to market changes and environmental requirements, providing strong support for the development of the coatings and ink industry.
