Wetting & Leveling Agents – Introduction
Wetting agents and leveling agents are essential additives designed to optimize coating performance by improving substrate adhesion, eliminating surface defects, and ensuring uniform film formation. These additives play a critical role in enhancing the aesthetics, functionality, and durability of coatings, inks, and adhesive systems.
Key Functions & Benefits
Wetting Agents
-
Substrate Wetting: Reduce surface tension to promote better spreading and adhesion on low-energy surfaces (e.g., plastics, metals, treated substrates).
-
Defoaming & Anti-Cratering: Minimize air entrapment and surface imperfections during application.
-
Pigment Dispersion: Improve color uniformity and stability in liquid systems.
-
Compatibility: Effective in water-based, solvent-based, and high-solid formulations.
Leveling Agents
-
Smooth Film Formation: Eliminate brush marks, orange peel, and other surface irregularities for a flawless finish.
-
Flow & Gloss Enhancement: Enhance substrate coverage and maximize gloss development.
-
Reduced Surface Defects: Prevent crawling, pinholes, and fish eyes.
-
Fast Drying & Substrate Adaptability: Suitable for spray, roll-coat, and dip applications.
Common Chemistry Types
-
Silicone-Based: Excellent slip and leveling (e.g., polyether-modified polysiloxanes).
-
Acrylic-Based: Balance of flow control and foam suppression.
-
Fluorocarbon-Based: Ultra-low surface tension for difficult substrates.
-
Polyether/Polyester: Compatible with diverse resin systems.

1. Do you supply sample?We supply free sample within 1kg and you got to pay for courier freight cost. The trial cost we refund to you on bulk order.
2. What is your shipping method and transportation? For sample,we mostly deliver small packages by Fedex/DHL air cargo with door-to-door service, which are safe and reliable for chemical liquid delivery. For bulk order, sea transportation is our first choice to save shipping cost. We make efforts to satisfy your specify requirements.
3.What is your suggestions for sample trial? First, We suggest that everytime you use a small quantity of samples to test. Because the quantity of samples is limited, PLEASE do not use up all the samples for testing in one-time. so you can test samples for many times. If first time testing is not good, then we can have a second chance to adjust the testing process.You should adjust a suitable dilution ratio according to the specific practical testing.
