Silicone-free high-performance wetting agent 'EASY-WET'
Introducing a hydrocarbon-based wetting agent with superior leveling properties compared to silicone, featuring an ideal balance of low foaming and low dynamic surface tension!
EASY-WET is a new product from Ashland, a U.S. company, and is a hydrocarbon-based wetting agent (surfactant) that can be used for various industrial coating applications such as wood, metal, automotive, industrial finishes, printing inks, and plastic coatings. <Main Features> - Excellent Wetting (Leveling) Compared to conventional hydrocarbon-based wetting agents or silicone-based wetting agents, it quickly reduces the contact angle and achieves equal or better performance. It enables the application of a smooth coating film on substrates, forming a uniform coating even on the edges of the substrate. - Low Foaming and Formation of Coating Films with Few Craters In continuous stirring tests, it has been confirmed to foam less than conventional hydrocarbon, silicone, and fluorine-based wetting agents, allowing for the formation of coating films with fewer craters. - Biodegradable, Low VOC The basic structure is composed of hydrocarbons, resulting in low environmental impact and biodegradability. Additionally, its low VOC content contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. For more details on each product, please refer to the product pages below or feel free to contact us.
