Wacker VOK-440 Leveling Agent

Wacker VOK-440 is a silicone-based leveling agent from Wacker’s VOK series, designed to enhance surface smoothness and reduce defects like orange peel or craters in industrial coatings, inks, and adhesives. It improves flow, substrate wetting, and gloss uniformity while maintaining compatibility with solvent-borne and high-solids systems.

Features Of Wacker VOK-440 Leveling Agent

  1. Highly effective surface tension reduction for superior substrate wetting and defect-free film formation.

  2. Excellent compatibility with a broad range of waterborne and solventborne acrylic, polyurethane, and epoxy systems.

  3. Low foaming tendency—minimizes air entrapment during high-shear mixing and application.

  4. Thermally stable up to 180 °C, supporting baking processes in industrial coatings.

  5. Non-silicone chemistry—avoids silicone-related recoatability and adhesion issues in multi-layer systems.

Typical Applications Of Wacker VOK-440 Leveling Agent

  1. Automotive OEM and refinish basecoats and clearcoats.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and plastic substrates.

  3. Architectural waterborne interior wall paints requiring gloss uniformity and brush-mark suppression.

  4. Wood coatings including UV-curable and high-solids varnishes.

  5. Plastic coatings for electronics housings and automotive interior trim.
