The mystery of wetting agents: deciphering the regulator of surface tension
Release time:2024-09-11 Page-views:46

Wetting agents, as a type of chemical additive that can significantly reduce the surface tension of liquids and promote uniform spreading of liquids on solid surfaces, play an indispensable role in multiple industrial fields.

Wetting agents are a type of additive that can improve the wetting performance of liquids on solid surfaces. According to their chemical composition, they can be divided into surface active dosage forms, polymer types, and composite types. Wetting agents adsorb at the interface between liquids and solids, reducing surface tension and making it easier for liquids to spread on solid surfaces, achieving a wetting effect. These properties, including critical micelle concentration, HLB value (hydrophilic lipophilic balance), stability, etc., directly affect the effectiveness of wetting agents.

Wetting agents, as an important chemical additive, play an irreplaceable role in various fields such as the coating industry, textile printing and dyeing, pesticides, and personal care. Through continuous technological innovation and application expansion, wetting agents will continue to bring more convenient, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions to human production and life.
