Faced with the challenges of global climate change and resource depletion, green chemistry has become a key force in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the chemical industry. As an indispensable part of the chemical industry, the green development of wetting agents is not only related to the sustainability of the industry itself, but also an important part of achieving the green transformation of the whole society.

Green wetting agents have shown great potential in improving production efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing pollution due to their high efficiency and environmental friendliness. They can effectively replace traditional highly toxic and difficult to degrade wetting agents, reducing the harm to human health and the ecological environment. At the same time, green wetting agents often have better biocompatibility and ecological friendliness, and are suitable for more sensitive fields such as organic agriculture, ecological textiles, etc., promoting the development of related industries towards a greener and healthier direction.

In the future, the development of green wetting agents will pay more attention to the combination of functionality and intelligence, such as developing intelligent wetting agents with self-healing, temperature control response and other characteristics to adapt to more complex application scenarios. However, the high cost of technological innovation, uncertainty in market acceptance, and lack of unified green evaluation standards are the main challenges facing the promotion of green wetting agents at present. Solving these problems requires collaboration from multiple parties such as the government, enterprises, and research institutions to jointly promote technological innovation and standard setting.
