Environmentally friendly leveling agents have multiple advantages compared to traditional leveling agents, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Low VOC emissions, environmentally friendly leveling agents, such as water-based leveling agents, use water as a dispersing medium to significantly reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), helping to reduce air pollution and comply with increasingly stringent global environmental regulations. Some environmentally friendly leveling agents use bio based materials such as vegetable oil, natural wax, etc. These materials have good biodegradability and can quickly decompose in the natural environment without causing long-term impact on the ecological environment.

Environmentally friendly leveling agents can effectively reduce the surface tension of coatings, promote wet film flow, reduce surface defects such as bubbles and pinholes, and improve the uniformity and aesthetics of coatings. Some environmentally friendly leveling agents not only have excellent leveling performance, but also have multiple functions such as brightening, scratch resistance, and anti fog, which can significantly improve the comprehensive performance of coatings. Environmentally friendly leveling agents have good compatibility with various resin systems, solvent systems, and pigment fillers, and can be widely used in different types of coatings, inks, and adhesives.

With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of production scale, the production cost of environmentally friendly leveling agents has gradually decreased, making their prices gradually approach or even lower than some traditional leveling agents, bringing better economic benefits to enterprises. Due to the low VOC emissions and biodegradability of environmentally friendly leveling agents, companies can reduce their reliance on exhaust gas treatment equipment and maintenance costs during use, while also reducing the risks of fines and other penalties that may be faced due to environmental violations.

With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection and the increasingly strict environmental regulations, governments around the world have introduced policies to encourage the use of environmentally friendly coatings and additives, providing a favorable policy environment for the development of environmentally friendly leveling agents. With the rapid development of industries such as construction, automotive, and electronics, the demand for surface quality of coatings is increasing. As an important additive for improving the surface quality of coatings, environmentally friendly leveling agents will continue to grow in market demand.

In summary, environmentally friendly leveling agents have been widely used in the fields of coatings, inks, and adhesives due to their low VOC emissions, biodegradability, excellent leveling performance, multifunctionality, good compatibility, and broad market prospects, and have gradually become the mainstream trend of industry development.
