As a polyether-modified organopolysiloxane leveling agent, IOTA3000 excels in reducing coating surface tension to enhance substrate wetting. With surface tension as low as 22.7mN/m, it ensures uniform film formation across solvent-based, solvent-free, and water-based systems. In automotive component coating trials, 0.3% addition reduced Benard vortex formation by 80% while achieving 92GU gloss (60°), surpassing industry benchmarks.
Water-based Systems: Addressing latex paint cratering issues, 0.3-1% dosage forms stable aqueous solutions. A construction coating manufacturer reported 45-second leveling time with 200kg packaging, improving production efficiency by 30%.
Solvent-based Systems: In wood finishes, 0.05% addition delivered 1H pencil hardness scratch resistance while maintaining tactile quality.
Solvent-free Systems: UV-curable ink experiments showed 1% dosage eliminated micro-bubbles, achieving ±2μm film thickness tolerance.
The agent appears as colorless to light amber liquid with 300-1200cst viscosity at 25℃, ensuring processing stability. Its 38℃ cloud point (0.1% aqueous solution) enables tropical storage stability. With over 99% active content and 25kg plastic drum packaging, it aligns with automated production requirements.
