Against the backdrop of increasing global environmental awareness, the coatings industry is also facing unprecedented environmental pressures. As an important component of coating additives, the green development of leveling agents has become a focus of industry attention. So how should future leveling agents be green and sustainable?

Biobased leveling agents are environmentally friendly leveling agents made from renewable resources as raw materials. It can not only reduce the VOC content in coatings, but also reduce dependence on fossil resources, achieving sustainable development. Water based leveling agents use water as a solvent and have the characteristics of low VOC, non-toxic and harmless. It can not only meet environmental requirements, but also improve the fluidity and wetting of coatings, and enhance the smoothness and glossiness of coatings. Simultaneously using green synthesis technology to prepare leveling agents, such as catalytic oxidation, biotransformation, etc., can reduce the production and emission of harmful substances and lower environmental pollution.

In the future, we can achieve energy conservation and emission reduction by optimizing production processes and procedures, reducing energy consumption and raw material waste. At the same time, strengthen waste management and recycling in the production process to reduce environmental pollution. Harmless treatment of waste generated during the production process of leveling agents, such as incineration, landfill, etc., to ensure that the waste does not pose a threat to the environment and human health. Strengthen the recycling and reuse of waste resources to achieve the circular utilization of resources.

The future green development path of leveling agents requires joint efforts from both inside and outside the industry. By applying environmentally friendly materials, improving production processes, and strengthening waste disposal measures, we believe that we can promote the green transformation and sustainable development of the leveling agent industry.
