Solving Pinhole & Crater Defects in Water-Based Coatings
Advanced wetting agents for flawless finishes — solve the defects driven by surface tension imbalances.
Pinholes and pits are common defects on water-based paint surfaces, caused by surface tension imbalances. This article explores their causes and proposes corresponding solutions. As a chinese top wetting agent supplier, iSuoChem can supply a systematic paint solution for surfactant wetting additives, such as LD-8270 and WTA-245T, which can reduce surface tension in a very short time, thus resolving wetting-related problems.
Introduction
Perfect paint film effects are elusive, yet the pursuit of perfection is fundamental to all industrial and architectural coatings. However, when formulating or applying water-based pai...
