Natural raw materials such as vegetable oil, carbohydrates, proteins, etc. have the advantages of being renewable, non-toxic and harmless, and having good biodegradability. In the development of green and environmentally friendly wetting agents, the use of these natural raw materials can effectively reduce dependence on traditional petrochemical resources, lower carbon emissions during production, and reduce environmental pollution.

Natural raw materials are often difficult to completely replace traditional synthetic materials in terms of performance, and may have shortcomings in surface activity, stability, and other aspects. Therefore, in the research and development process, it is necessary to improve the performance indicators of natural raw materials through chemical modification, composite formulations, and other means, while maintaining their environmental advantages.

Using unsaturated fatty acids and other components in vegetable oil, green and environmentally friendly wetting agents with excellent wetting properties are prepared through esterification, sulfonation and other reactions. A green and environmentally friendly wetting agent with specific surface activity is prepared by chemical modification using natural sugars such as glucose and xylose as raw materials, which is widely used in pesticide spraying and other fields.

With the deepening of research on natural raw materials and the continuous development of modification technology, the application of natural raw materials in the development of green and environmentally friendly wetting agents will become more extensive and in-depth. In the future, more high-performance and environmentally friendly natural raw material wetting agents will emerge, providing more sustainable solutions for various industries.
