BASF Hydropalat 140 Wetting Agent

BASF Hydropalat 140 is a high-performance wetting agent from BASF’s Hydropalat series, designed for aqueous coatings and inks. It rapidly reduces surface tension, enhances pigment dispersion, and improves substrate wetting—especially on low-energy surfaces. Non-ionic, APEO-free, and compatible with broad resin systems, it delivers stable performance without foam or odor issues.

Features Of BASF Hydropalat 140 Wetting Agent

  1. High-efficiency low-foaming surfactant for rapid substrate wetting and penetration.

  2. Excellent compatibility with a broad range of water-based formulations, including those containing biocides and thickeners.

  3. Non-ionic character ensures stability across wide pH ranges (pH 3–12) and minimal sensitivity to hard water ions.

  4. Low VOC content, supporting compliance with stringent environmental and regulatory requirements (e.g., EU Ecolabel, USDA BioPreferred).

  5. Enables uniform pigment dispersion and improved gloss development in architectural and industrial coatings.

Typical Applications Of BASF Hydropalat 140 Wetting Agent

  1. Waterborne architectural paints and interior/exterior wall coatings.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  3. Wood coatings, including stains, varnishes, and water-based lacquers.

  4. Printing inks—especially flexographic and gravure inks for porous substrates.

  5. Agrochemical adjuvants for enhanced foliar spray coverage and droplet spreading.
