Leveling agents, as important additives in industries such as coatings, inks, and adhesives, play a key role in optimizing surface smoothness, reducing orange peel effects, and improving glossiness. It achieves uniform spreading and smooth film formation by adjusting the surface tension of the coating film to promote wet film flow.

Leveling agent is a chemical substance that can improve the surface fluidity and smoothness of coatings after application. It has excellent ability to reduce surface tension and is suitable for various systems, especially in high gloss coatings where the effect is significant. Good compatibility with resin can improve fluidity and leveling, while enhancing the hardness and wear resistance of the coating. Leveling agents are widely used in various fields such as automotive paint, wood paint, architectural coatings, ink printing, electronic materials, etc., playing an important role in improving product quality and meeting market demand.

With the increasing global environmental awareness and stricter regulations, traditional solvent based leveling agents are facing huge challenges, and environmentally friendly leveling agents have become an inevitable trend in the industry's development. With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing demand for environmental protection, environmentally friendly leveling agents will develop towards higher performance, lower cost, and easier processing. Meanwhile, the deepening of interdisciplinary research will also promote the study of synergistic effects between leveling agents and other additives, bringing more innovative solutions to the coating industry.
