EFKA LEVELING AGENT
Product Description
The EFKA series offers fluorocarbon- and silicone-modified leveling agent engineered to optimize surface aesthetics and functional durability across solvent-based, waterborne, and radiation-cured coatings. These agents enhance flow dynamics by balancing substrate wetting, defect prevention (cratering, orange peel), and mechanical resilience while maintaining interlayer adhesion .
Engineered for diverse chemical platforms—including polyurethane, epoxy, and acrylic systems—the additives reduce surface tension gradients, ensuring uniform film formation in spray, brush, or curtain-coating applications. Their compatibility with high-solid and low-VOC formulations aligns with global eco-regulatory standards, making them ideal for automotive refinish, industrial flooring, and UV-curable paper coatings.
Typical Applications Of EFKA Leveling Agent
1.Automotive & Industrial Coatings: Ideal for solvent-based automotive paints and industrial coatings requiring durability and defect-free finishes
2.Wood & Furniture Coatings: Enhances UV-curable and polyurethane systems for improved scratch resistance and surface quality
3.Architectural & Floor Coatings: Used in epoxy, alkyd, and polyester systems for leveling and anti-cratering in architectural and floor applications
4.Packaging & Printing Inks: Ensures smoothness and adhesion in overprint varnishes and ink formulations
Application
1.Automotive OEM: Slip enhancement for high-gloss topcoats (0.1-0.5%)
2.Industrial Paints: Anti-blocking in coil coatings (up to 150°C)
3.Plastic Coatings: Wetting improvement for PP/ABS (contact angle<5°)
4.UV Inks: Prevents blocking in fast-curing systems (300+ m/min)
