Application and prospects of wetting agents in the coating industry
Release time:2025-01-22 Page-views:59

The coating industry is one of the important application areas of wetting agents. Wetting agents play various roles in coatings, such as reducing surface tension, improving wetting properties, and assisting dispersion. Wetting agents can reduce the interfacial tension between coatings and substrates, improve the wettability of coatings, and ensure that coatings can better cover substrates. Wetting agents can assist in the dispersion of pigments in coatings, improve the dispersion efficiency of pigments and the uniformity of coatings, thereby improving the color and gloss of coatings. During the coating process, wetting agents can effectively prevent shrinkage caused by low surface tension of the substrate, and improve the smoothness and flatness of the coating film. At the same time, wetting agents can enhance the adhesion between the coating and the substrate, improve the adhesion of the coating, and ensure that the coating is more firm.

With the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the demand for environmentally friendly wetting agents in the coating industry will continue to grow. Enterprises should increase their research and development efforts and launch more low toxicity and biodegradable wetting agent products. In order to meet the demand for high-performance coatings in the coatings industry, multifunctional wetting agents will become an important direction for future development. These wetting agents will have multiple functions such as wetting, dispersing, anti shrinkage, and improving adhesion. With the increasing demand for personalized and customized coatings in the paint industry, customized wetting agents will become a new hot spot in the market. Enterprises should provide targeted wetting agent solutions based on customer needs.

Wetting agents play an important role in the coating industry, not only improving the performance and quality of coatings, but also meeting environmental protection requirements. In the future, with the increasingly strict environmental regulations and the growing demand for high-performance coatings in the coatings industry, wetting agents will usher in more development opportunities. Enterprises should increase research and development investment, launch more innovative products, meet market demand, and promote the sustainable development of the coatings industry.
