There are various synthesis methods for leveling agents, including free radical polymerization, condensation reactions, addition reactions, etc. By selecting appropriate monomers and reaction conditions, leveling agents with specific structures and properties can be prepared. To improve the performance of leveling agents, methods such as chemical modification and physical blending are often used. For example, by introducing fluorocarbon groups to enhance the surface activity and weather resistance of leveling agents; Prepare nanoscale leveling agents through nanotechnology to enhance their dispersibility and effectiveness.

The performance evaluation of leveling agents involves multiple aspects, including:

Surface tension: Reflects the ability of leveling agents to reduce the surface tension of liquids.

Viscosity adjustment ability: Investigating the effect of leveling agents on viscosity in coating systems.

Leveling effect: evaluated by indicators such as coating appearance, glossiness, and orange peel phenomenon.

Weather resistance: Evaluate the stability of leveling agents during long-term use.

Formula design is the key to the application of leveling agents. Select the appropriate type and dosage of leveling agent based on the specific requirements of the coating system, while considering compatibility with other additives, to achieve the best leveling effect.

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the development and application of environmentally friendly leveling agents have become a trend. Enterprises should pay attention to the environmental performance of leveling agents, such as low VOC emissions and biodegradability. At the same time, strengthen safety production management to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment during production and use.
