What is wetting agents in textile processing

Wetting agent for textile Substances that make solid materials more susceptible to water immersion. By reducing its surface tension or interfacial tension, so that the water can be expanded on the surface of solid materials, or penetrate the surface, and the solid material wetting. Usually some surfactants, such as sulfonated oil, soap, open powder BX and so on. Also can be soy lecithin, mercaptan, acyl hydrazine and mercaptan acetal, etc. Surfactants are composed of hydrophilic and lipophilic base, when contact with the solid surface, hydrophilic Foundation attaches to the solid surface, the lipophilic base outward to the liquid, so that the liquid on the solid surface to form a continuous phase, which is the basic principle of wetting. Function of best wetting agent for textile Textile Wetting Agent Performance Characteristics: 1, acid, alkali-resistant, resistant to hard water, water-soluble strong, 2, with infiltration, leveling, wettability, good dispersion, 3, to pre...
