High-efficiency rapid wetting surfactant for fast surface contact and difficult-to-wet systems.
Wetting Agent OT / AOT is a high-efficiency anionic wetting agent used where very fast wetting and strong surface tension reduction are required.
This grade is suited to coatings, inks, pigment dispersions, textile processing and emulsion systems that need rapid surface contact.
Because surface activity is strong, dosage needs to be optimized carefully for foam, stability and formulation compatibility.
Key Performance Functions
High-Efficiency Wetting
Delivers strong wetting at relatively low dosage.
Rapid Surface Contact
Improves liquid spreading on difficult surfaces.
Pigment Processing Support
Helps wet hydrophobic or low-energy particles.
Emulsion Assistance
Supports interfacial contact in selected emulsion systems.
Dose Efficiency
Useful where conventional wetting agents are too slow or inefficient.
