Wetting Agents

Description

EVONIK provides a wide range of multifunctional surfactants for aqueous systems. These additives reduce the surface tension of water, which enables the system to wet out demanding surfaces and to disperse fillers and pigments. This improves the adhesion, resistances and optics of the final product.

These products are used in many formulations, including automotive coatings, wood coatings, dispersion paints, printing inks, overprint varnishes, adhesives and cleaners.
