With the increasingly strict global environmental laws and regulations, traditional solvent based leveling agents are facing elimination due to their high content of volatile organic compounds and harmful substances. Therefore, environmentally friendly leveling agents have become the focus of the industry due to their advantages of low toxicity, high efficiency, and sustainability.

Why is environmentally friendly leveling agent a new choice for green coating?

Firstly, environmentally friendly leveling agents use bio based raw materials or low toxicity synthetic materials to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds and harmful substances, which meets environmental standards. And it does not contain harmful substances such as APEO, formaldehyde, heavy metals, etc., reducing the harm to construction personnel and the environment. Secondly, environmentally friendly leveling agents have the advantage of high efficiency performance, not only optimizing the surface tension of the coating, improving leveling performance, avoiding defects such as orange peel and shrinkage, but also compatible with water-based, UV curing, and high solid coatings, adapting to various coating processes.   

Nowadays, environmentally friendly leveling agents have been widely used in industries such as architectural coatings, industrial coatings, and packaging printing. Environmentally friendly leveling agents are not only an inevitable choice according to laws and regulations, but also a reflection of a company's technological competitiveness. With the breakthroughs in biosynthesis, nanomodification and other technologies, their application boundaries will continue to expand, which will further promote the coating industry to move towards green and high-end, achieving a win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits.
