Classic anionic wetting and penetrating agent for textile, dye, leather and industrial formulation systems.
Wetting Agent BX is a practical, cost-effective anionic wetting and penetrating agent used to improve liquid penetration into fibers, powders and substrates.
It is suitable where rapid wetting is needed before dyeing, cleaning, leather treatment or powder incorporation steps.
LigninCorp uses a tighter industrial page structure here so buyers can evaluate function, technical range and typical use more quickly.
