Water-based wood paint leveling agent: the key to giving wood products a perfect finish

Water-based wood paint leveling agent: the key to giving wood products a perfect finish

In the pursuit of environmental protection and health, water-based wood paint is widely used in the finishing of various 

wood products due to its low VOC emissions, environmental protection and non-toxic characteristics. However, during 

the construction process, water-based wood paint often has poor leveling problems due to its own characteristics or 

external factors. The emergence of water-based wood paint leveling agents just provides an effective solution to this 

problem, and its application range is also very wide.


Compared with traditional solvent-based wood paint, water-based wood paint has a relatively high viscosity and a 

different drying speed. After being applied to the wood surface, it is easy to have leveling defects such as brush marks, 

orange peel, and shrinkage. These defects not only affect the beauty of wood products, but also may reduce the 

protective performance of the paint film. The water-based wood paint leveling agent can reduce the surface tension 

of the paint film, improve the fluidity of the paint film, and allow the paint to spread and level better on the wood 

surface, thereby eliminating various leveling defects.


In the furniture manufacturing industry, the application of water-based wood paint leveling agents is particularly 

important. Whether it is solid wood furniture or panel furniture, it is necessary to improve the appearance and protect 

the wood by applying water-based wood paint. For example, if there are obvious brush marks or orange peels on the 

flat tabletop and smooth cabinet doors after painting, it will greatly reduce the grade of the furniture. The leveling agent 

can make the water-based wood paint evenly level on the surface of the furniture, forming a smooth and flat paint film, 

so that the furniture presents a delicate texture and perfect appearance, meeting the consumer's demand for high-quality 

furniture.


Wood floor finishing is also an important application field of water-based wood paint leveling agent. Wood floors are 

subjected to trampling and friction every day, and the flatness and wear resistance of the paint film are quite high. If the 

water-based wood paint is not leveled well, the surface of the paint film is uneven, which not only affects the foot feel, but also 

easily accumulates dust, shortening the service life of the wood floor. The leveling agent can ensure that the wood paint is fully 

leveled on the floor surface, forming a continuous and uniform protective film, making the wood floor both beautiful and durable.


In the wooden crafts industry, water-based wood paint leveling agent is also indispensable. Wooden crafts have various shapes and 

rich details, and leveling problems are more likely to occur when painting. Leveling agents can help water-based wood paint flow 

smoothly on the complex surface of handicrafts, fill in fine lines and gaps, make the paint film cover evenly, highlight the delicate 

texture and unique shape of handicrafts, and enhance the artistic value and market competitiveness of handicrafts.


In addition

Water-based wood paint leveling agents also play an important role in the finishing of wooden building materials such as doors, 

windows, and wooden stairs. These wooden building materials are exposed to indoor and outdoor environments, and the paint film 

needs to have good weather resistance and decorative properties. The leveling agent ensures the leveling effect after the wood paint 

is applied, making the surface of doors, windows, stairs, etc. flat and smooth, which is not only beautiful and generous, but also 

better resists the erosion of the external environment and prolongs its service life.


In short

The application of water-based wood paint leveling agents in furniture, wooden floors, wooden crafts, wooden building materials 

and other fields provides strong support for the widespread promotion of water-based wood paint and the high-quality finishing 

of wooden products, allowing more environmentally friendly and beautiful wooden products to enter our lives.
