BASF Hydropalat WE 3120 Wetting Agent

BASF Hydropalat WE 3120 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, improves substrate wetting, and ensures uniform film formation. Non-ionic, low-foaming, and compatible with diverse binder systems, it boosts gloss, leveling, and color strength without compromising stability.
