Flow and leveling agents playing an very important role for the right appearances of your coating. Some can give you slip some will provide alone leveling or a combination of both. Leveling can be split in long and short wave leveling. In general Acrylic leveling agents provide more long wave leveling and Silicone leveling agents provide short wave and will give you slip.
