The types of wetting agents mainly include the following:
Anionic wetting agents: This type of wetting agent includes sulfates, sulfonates, phosphates and carboxylates. They play an excellent wetting role in coatings.
Cationic wetting agents: Such as quaternary ammonium salts and amine salts, these wetting agents usually have excellent dispersibility and stability in coatings.
Nonionic wetting agents: Including polyoxyethylene ethers, polyoxyethylene esters, polyoxyethylene amines and polyoxyethylene siloxanes. They can significantly improve the wetting effect and improve the fluidity of the coating.
Special wetting agents: Such as siloxane-based wetting agents and fluorocarbon-based wetting agents, these wetting agents have excellent surface activity and can significantly reduce the surface tension of the coating.
Multifunctional wetting agents: such as dispersants and wetting agents and anti-floating and floating agents, which not only have excellent wetting properties, but also have multiple functions such as dispersing and anti-floating and floating.
