Wetting agents are rarely known to the public in daily life, but they quietly play a key role in many areas of our lives. Wetting agents are reshaping our daily lives in a subtle and silent way, and some seemingly ordinary phenomena in life cannot be separated from the application of wetting agents.   

Wetting agents adsorb directionally at liquid-solid or liquid gas interfaces through hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in their molecular structure, significantly reducing surface tension. Molecules can quickly migrate to interfaces, orient themselves, with hydrophobic ends facing outward and hydrophilic ends facing inward, forming new low-energy surfaces.  

In the process of agricultural development, with the change of seasons, there are often many pests appearing in large numbers. When spraying pesticides, 90% of the liquid will roll off and waste due to the hydrophobicity of the leaves, which not only incurs high costs but also pollutes the environment. The reasonable use of wetting agents can effectively solve this problem.

In daily daily daily chemical products, we often see the presence of wetting agents. For example, with the addition of wetting agent, the stability of foam can be doubled, and the rinsing time can be shortened by 30%, making the cleaning more efficient and gentle.

The extensive application of wetting agents in coatings and inks can effectively eliminate coating shrinkage during the manufacturing process, greatly improving production efficiency.   

Wetting agents play a crucial role in many areas of our daily lives, and in the future, with the development of green chemistry and smart materials, wetting agents may unlock more possibilities.
