One of the main functions of wetting agents is to reduce the surface tension between the coating and the substrate, allowing the coating to spread more quickly on the substrate surface. This improvement in performance not only helps reduce construction time, but also enhances the coverage and uniformity of the coating, thereby improving the quality of the coating.
Wetting agents can improve the fluidity of coatings, making them easier to operate during construction and reducing construction difficulty. The improvement of fluidity helps the coating to better fill the small pores and uneven areas on the surface of the substrate, further enhancing the compactness and waterproof performance of the coating.
Wetting agents can increase the contact area between coatings and substrates, improving the adhesion of coatings. The improvement of adhesion makes the coating more firm and less prone to detachment, thereby extending the service life of the coating.
Wetting agents also play an important role in improving the performance of coatings. It can enhance the dispersibility of the coating, allowing pigments and fillers to be more evenly dispersed in the coating, thereby improving the color stability and coverage of the coating. At the same time, wetting agents can also improve the stability of coatings, prevent sedimentation, delamination and other phenomena during storage and use, and extend the service life of coatings.
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the application of green wetting agents is becoming more and more widespread. Green wetting agents are usually made from biodegradable materials or natural raw materials, which have the characteristics of low toxicity, harmlessness, and easy degradation, and can reduce pollution and damage to the environment. In addition, the use of green wetting agents also helps promote the sustainable development of the coating industry.
Under the wave of intelligence, the wetting agent industry has also begun to transform towards customized services. Provide personalized wetting agent solutions based on the needs and application scenarios of different customers. This customized service not only meets the diverse needs of the market, but also enhances the market competitiveness of enterprises.
The development of wetting agents cannot be separated from technological innovation. By continuously developing new wetting agents and improving production processes, the performance and quality of wetting agents can be improved to meet higher requirements for coating production. At the same time, technological innovation also helps to promote the technological progress and industrial upgrading of the entire coating industry.
In summary, wetting agents, as invisible drivers in the coating industry, play an important role in improving coating performance, construction efficiency, and coating quality. With the continuous advancement of technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, the application prospects of wetting agents will be even broader.
