Silicone-free leveling agents often have a higher surface tension than silicone leveling agents, resulting in slower migration. However, due to their long-wave leveling properties, they often provide superior final leveling dynamics. This improves the spreadability and wetting properties of the coating, fills in minor unevenness on the substrate surface, reduces coating defects caused by surface roughness, and ensures a smooth and uniform coating.
Compared to silicone leveling agents, silicone-free leveling agents typically have lower leveling efficiency, making it difficult to achieve the same smoothness in high-gloss coatings. Due to their weaker affinity with the coating matrix, their leveling performance is generally limited, thus their effect is less ideal than silicone leveling agents in coatings requiring high gloss and smoothness.
Since silicone-free leveling agents do not contain silicone, they avoid the pollution problems associated with silicone in certain applications. They are widely used in component-sensitive coating systems such as water-based wood coatings and industrial coatings. They can improve the workability and surface smoothness of coatings without affecting other coating properties, providing an environmentally friendly and safe option.
