Leveling agents formulated to improve spread, uniformity, and film formation in glazes, engobes, and water-based coatings.
Surface control and application uniformity
Leveling agents are water-based additives designed to improve the surface flow of the system after application, promoting uniform distribution and reducing marks, accumulations, or irregularities (orange peel, punctures, etc.).
Leveling agents for enamels
They improve the extension and reduce visual defects in applied vitreous layers.
Leveling agents for engobes
They promote surface uniformity in high mineral load systems.
Leveling agents for functional coatings
They optimize film formation in water-based technical coatings.
Customized solutions
Formulations tailored to application technology and production parameters.
Surface extension improvement
It promotes a continuous and uniform layer after application.
Reduction of brands
Minimizes application marks, build-ups, and thickness variations.
Finish optimization
Improves visual uniformity before the cooking cycle.
Adaptation to each factory
Technical adjustment according to system, viscosity and actual line conditions.
Improves surface homogeneity in hood or curtain applications.
It reduces irregularities and improves the stability of the applied layer.
It promotes the formation of a uniform film in technical systems.
Leveling agents adapted to each formulation and production process.
It improves surface coverage after application, promoting a uniform layer and reducing visual defects such as orange peel.
Its main function is to act on surface tension, without significantly modifying the overall rheology.
Yes. They are selected to integrate with dispersants, deflocculants, and binders without interference.
They are compatible with bell, candle, and other industrial application technologies.
Everything you need to know about ceramic leveling agents
Fluidity and surface uniformity free of defects.
Ceramic leveling agents are essential water-based technical additives used to optimize the performance of glazes, engobes, and coatings during their industrial application. Their main function is to reduce the surface tension of the fluid once deposited on the substrate, allowing for perfect spreading and completely homogeneous film formation before the drying and firing phases.
In continuous production environments, the correct integration of a leveling agent prevents the appearance of severe aesthetic defects, such as the orange peel effect, edge accumulation, application marks, or pinholes. At Kerafrit, we develop solutions that improve surface fluidity without compromising the rheological stability of the system, guaranteeing flawless finishes of the highest technical quality in the manufacture of ceramic floor and wall tiles.
