1、 Application of Wetting Agents in Pesticides

Wetting agents are important adjuvants in pesticides. Due to the fact that the surface of plants is mostly composed of waxy corneas, which form a low-energy surface, it is difficult for the medicinal solution to spread directly. The addition of wetting agents can significantly reduce the surface tension of the pesticide solution, promote its adhesion and penetration on plant surfaces, and thus improve the effectiveness of pesticides.

2、 Application of Wetting Agents in Coatings

In coating production, wetting agents can facilitate the displacement of air on the surface of pigment particles by water, allowing the pigment particles to quickly enter the water phase and form a wetting layer at the bottom of the coating, promoting better wetting of the substrate by the coating. At the same time, wetting agents can improve the efficiency of grinding and dispersion, shorten grinding time, and help improve the flowability and film-forming properties of coatings.

3、 Application of Wetting Agent in Ink

Acetylene glycol based wetting agent is a commonly used additive in ink. It can reduce the surface tension of ink on paper, allowing ink to better penetrate into the paper fibers, thereby improving the quality and aesthetics of writing. In addition, alkyne diol based wetting agents can improve the fluidity of ink, reduce ink breakage, leakage and other problems, and enhance the writing experience.

In summary, wetting agents play an important role in fields such as pesticides, coatings, and inks. By selecting and applying wetting agents reasonably, the performance of products can be significantly improved, production efficiency and product quality can be enhanced.
