Function and significance of water-based wetting agent

Water-based wetting agent is a functional additive that can significantly reduce the surface tension of liquid, and is widely used in coating, ink, pesticide, textile and cleaning agent. Its core role is to improve the wettability of the liquid, so that the solution is easier to spread and penetrate on the solid surface, so as to improve the process adaptability and final effect of the product.

First of all, the wetting agent enhances the adhesion by reducing the contact Angle between the liquid and the substrate, and avoids defects such as shrinkage holes and orange peel due to excessive surface tension of the coating or liquid. Secondly, in pesticide spraying or printing processes, it can promote uniform coverage of the liquid or ink on the target surface, improve utilization and reduce waste. In addition, water-based wetting agent also has environmental advantages, because it uses water as the medium, compared with traditional solvent-based additives more safe, low toxicity, in line with the development trend of green chemistry.

In industrial applications, the addition of wetting agents not only optimizes production efficiency and product quality, but also promotes sustainable development. In the future, with the introduction of innovative means such as nanotechnology, the function of water-based wetting agents will be further expanded and become an indispensable key material in the field of fine chemical industry.
