Water-based anti-shrinkage crater additives: Five core advantages reconstruct coating surface perfectionism
Water-based anti-shrinkage crater additives play an important role in water-based coatings, inks and other systems. Its advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Improve the appearance quality of coatings
Prevent shrinkage defects: Shrinkage is a common defect in the drying or curing process of coatings, which is manifested as small holes on the surface of the coating, which seriously affects the appearance of the coating. Water-based anti-shrinkage crater additives can reduce the surface tension of the coating, so that it can spread evenly on the surface of the substrate, effectively prevent the formation of shrinkage craters, make the coating surface smooth and uniform in color, and enhance the decorative effect of the product.
Improve gloss: Due to the reduction of defects such as shrinkage craters, the gloss of the coating is improved, which can present a brighter appearance and meet the gloss requirements of different products.
2. Enhance coating performance
Improve adhesion: Water-based anti-shrinkage crater additives help the coating to better wet the surface of the substrate, increase the contact area between the coating and the substrate, thereby improving the adhesion between the coating and the substrate, making the coating more firm and not easy to fall off.
Enhance weather resistance and chemical resistance: By improving the uniformity and density of the coating, water-based anti-cratering additives can enhance the weather resistance of the coating, so that it can maintain good performance in natural environments such as ultraviolet rays, rain, and temperature differences. At the same time, it can also improve the coating's resistance to chemical substances and extend the service life of the coating.
3. Superior environmental performance
Compatible with water-based systems: Water-based anti-cratering additives are specially designed for water-based coatings and inks, have good compatibility with water-based systems, and will not affect the environmental characteristics of water-based systems. Compared with solvent-based additives, it does not contain harmful solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc., and has less harm to the environment and human health during production and use.
Comply with environmental regulations: With the increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the emission restrictions on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in coatings and inks are becoming more and more stringent. The use of water-based anti-cratering additives helps to reduce the VOC content in products, making it easier for products to meet the requirements of environmental regulations, which is conducive to the sustainable development of enterprises.
4. Good construction performance
Easy to disperse and mix: Water-based anti-shrinkage cratering additives usually have good dispersibility and mixing properties, can be quickly and evenly dispersed in the coating or ink system, will not agglomerate or precipitate, and are convenient for construction operations.
Adapt to a variety of construction methods: Whether it is spraying, brushing or roller coating, water-based anti-shrinkage cratering additives can play a good role and ensure the quality and effect of the coating.
5. Significant economic benefits
Reducing production costs: Although water-based anti-shrinkage cratering additives themselves will increase certain costs, they can effectively reduce the scrap rate caused by defects such as shrinkage craters, improve production efficiency, and thus reduce overall production costs.
Extend product service life: By enhancing the performance of the coating, water-based anti-shrinkage cratering additives can extend the service life of the product, reduce the frequency of product maintenance and replacement, and save costs for users.
