Features Of SKYTYPE LA0520 Wetting and Leveling Agent

  1. Excellent substrate wetting performance on low-energy surfaces including polyolefins and fluorinated coatings.

  2. Superior leveling capability without compromising intercoat adhesion or film integrity.

  3. Low foaming tendency, ensuring compatibility with high-speed industrial coating and printing processes.

  4. Thermally stable up to 180 °C, supporting baking-cure applications in automotive and coil coating systems.

  5. Non-silicone, non-ionic architecture—avoids silicone-related defects (e.g., craters, recoatability issues) and enables easy integration into waterborne and solvent-borne formulations.

Typical Applications Of SKYTYPE LA0520 Wetting and Leveling Agent

  1. Automotive OEM and refinish basecoat/clearcoat systems.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and plastic substrates.

  3. Waterborne wood coatings requiring defect-free flow and uniform gloss development.

  4. UV-curable and hybrid (UV/thermal) inkjet inks and overprint varnishes.

  5. Architectural and decorative coil coatings for aluminum and pre-painted steel.
