Hemispherx Levaslip 466 is a modified polysiloxane flow agent designed for solvent-based coatings and inks. It reduces surface tension to eliminate defects like craters and oil spots while improving substrate wetting and film smoothness. Compatible with most resin systems, it ensures uniform leveling without compromising intercoat adhesion
Surface Defect Control – Prevents craters, pinholes, and oil-related imperfections
Enhanced Flow & Leveling – Promotes uniform film formation and gloss
Broad Compatibility – Works with polyurethane, epoxy, and acrylic resins
Substrate Wetting – Improves adhesion on contaminated or low-energy surfaces
Process Stability – Minimal impact on recoating and shelf life (18 months)
Industrial Coatings – Solvent-based systems for machinery and metal protection
Inks & Varnishes – Enhances print smoothness and defect reduction
Wood & Automotive Finishes – Optimizes flow in high-gloss and UV-curable systems
