Leveling Agent
CAS Number: 67674-67-3
Polyacrylate-based leveling agent that effectively eliminates surface defects such as craters, orange peel, and brush marks in coatings and inks. It reduces surface tension and promotes uniform film formation during the drying and curing process. Suitable for a wide range of solvent-borne, waterborne, and UV-curable coating systems.
