Adapting to the green coating trend, IOTA3000 silicone leveling agent promotes the localization of domestic additives

1. Driven by environmental policies, water-based solvent-free coatings are experiencing growth
The domestic coating industry is accelerating its green transformation, with the penetration rates of low-VOC water-based coatings and solvent-free coatings continuously increasing. The iterative improvement of environmental formulations has forced the simultaneous upgrade of complementary silicone additives. Many traditional leveling agents have encountered problems such as poor compatibility, failure at high temperatures, and unstable performance, which have hindered the improvement of product quality. The leveling additives with broad compatibility and multi-functional integration have become the key consideration for coating enterprises in their purchasing and selection.

2. IOTA3000 leveling agent, a multi-functional silicone surface solution
IOTA3000 is a silicone surface additive that integrates multiple functions such as substrate wetting, leveling improvement, scratch resistance, and anti-sticking. It does not require the compounding of multiple additives, simplifying the formulation design process. The surface tension of the product is as low as 22.7 mN/m, which can improve the wetting difference of the substrate and eliminate shrinkage defects. After drying, the paint film has uniform gloss and a smooth touch. It can be adapted for various construction methods such as spraying, brushing, and roller coating, and is suitable for multiple downstream scenarios such as plastic coatings, floor coatings, and furniture coatings. siliconeoil 。


3. Professional answers to frequent questions from customers regarding practical operations
Question 1: Will there be any adverse reactions if IOTA3000 is used in combination with other additives?
Answer: Most defoaming agents and dispersants can be used together in a synergistic manner. However, there is uncertainty regarding the combination of different resins and additives. Before formal large-scale production, compatibility compatibility trials must be conducted to avoid abnormal situations such as turbidity, precipitation, and unstable foaming. Anhui Aiyota... 。


Question 2: Will the product experience performance degradation when stored in a low-temperature environment?
Answer: The performance is stable under normal indoor cool and sealed storage conditions. If there is turbidity or precipitation at low temperatures, after rewarming and stirring evenly, the usage performance will not be affected. It is not recommended to store in the open air under direct sunlight.


Question 3: What are the reasons for the bubble formation and stabilization phenomenon after using IOTA3000?
Answer: It is likely that the addition amount is excessive, or the system itself has high foaming characteristics. It is recommended to reduce the proportion of the leveling agent and conduct coordinated debugging with the appropriate defoamer. Through small-scale tests, a balance point can be found.


4. Precautions for on-site application and risk avoidance in production
When conducting formula adjustment, prioritize laboratory small-scale testing to confirm that the appearance, leveling, and adhesion all meet the standards before scaling up production. When adding materials, they can be directly mixed and stirred evenly without special pre-treatment. Enterprise technicians remind that the effect of organic silicon additives is excellent, but it is essential not to blindly increase the dosage. Reasonable dosage can balance the leveling effect and the comprehensive performance of the paint film, achieving stable mass production.
