Technological Advances in Superwetting Agents
Feb 28, 2025
In recent years, with the continuous innovation of chemical technology, the performance of superwetting agents has been significantly improved. The main technological advances include:
Fluorocarbon and siloxane superwetting agents
Traditional superwetting agents are mainly based on modified polyether and ether-ester structures, while new fluorocarbon and siloxane superwetting agents have lower surface tension, making them more advantageous in applications such as high-gloss coatings, industrial spraying, and printing inks.
This type of superwetting agent can provide excellent wetting effects at extremely low dosages (0.1%-0.5%), and has better water resistance and chemical resistance.
Low-VOC environmentally friendly superwetting agents
As environmental regulations become stricter, low-VOC or even zero-VOC superwetting agents are gradually becoming a new trend in the industry.
These products are mainly used in water-based coatings and water-based inks, which can effectively reduce the environmental pollution caused by solvent-based wetting agents while maintaining excellent wetting and leveling properties.
Polymer superwetting agents
By introducing polymer structures, the compatibility of wetting agents in water-based and solvent-based systems is improved, thereby improving their spreading and penetration capabilities.
Particularly suitable for optical thin film coatings and protective coatings for the electronics industry, they can provide more uniform and stable surface wetting effects.
Emerging markets present opportunities
The growing demand for superwetting agents in emerging markets such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and South America, especially in the architectural coatings, industrial manufacturing, and electronics industries, is expected to be the major growth driver over the next five years.
Driven by the growing demand in the global coatings, electronics, agriculture and medical industries, the superwetting agent market is expected to continue to expand in the next few years, bringing more development opportunities to industry-related companies.
