SILIBASE SILICONE Launches Cost-Effective Leveling Agent SilibaseLAJ-OL17.
Apr 30, 2025
Product Name: Leveling Agent
Item NO.: SilibaseLAJ-OL17
Classification：Chemical Auxiliary Agent
Composition：Polyether siloxane copolymer
Product Introduction
China Cheaper Alternative has the same technical benefits as DC-19 at a more competitive price, this China-made leveling agent significantly reduces production costs without sacrificing quality.
Silicone Leveling Agent is one silicone additive which is able to reduce the surface tension under dynamic and static conditions, which is a requirement to obtain an optimal wetting and leveling effect. Additive to improve flow properties and surface smoothness.
Properties
As a cost-effective Chinese replacement product, SilibaseLAJ-OL17 delivers identical leveling, anti-cratering, and substrate wetting performance as international equivalents, with 100% active content and broad binder compatibility.SilibaseLAJ-OL17 is an effective flow-promoter and also improves surface smoothness. lteliminates spray structures,orange-peel and prevents the formation of caters.
Typical Properties：
Appearance：pale-yellow to amber-colored clear liquid
Active content：100％
Refractive index at 25C：1.445-1.455
Viscosity at 25C：150-400cp
Special Properties：
Reduces surface tension and provides substrate wetting
Anti-blocking, improve leveling and gloss
Medium increase slip
suitable in solvent-based, solvent-free and aqueous coatings
Applications
SilibaseLAJ-OL17 leveling agent produced in China is widely used and performs well in chemical curing systems (such as esmodur®/Desmophen® coatings). Its performance is comparable to that of internationally renowned brands such as BYK-302 and Tego-100, while offering better cost-performance.
SilibaseLAJ-OL17 is water-soluble but its use in suchsolutions should always be preceded byextensive trials on account of their limited stability in water-borne binders.
Dosage (Additive as Supplied):
SILIBASE SILICONE Produce Leveling Agent which is a High-performance Chinese analogue of BYK-302.
SilibaseLAJ-OL17 is characterised by good binder compatibility and a high degree of efficienoy in many binders. it is particularly suitable for chemically curing systems，primarily DesmodurRlDesmophen" paints.
