Features Of BASF Hydropalat WE3450 Wetting Agent

  1. High-efficiency dynamic surface tension reduction for rapid substrate wetting and penetration.

  2. Excellent compatibility with a broad range of water-based formulations, including those containing high electrolyte levels.

  3. Low foaming profile—ideal for high-shear processes and automated coating/dispensing equipment.

  4. Non-ionic surfactant chemistry ensures stability across wide pH ranges (pH 3–12).

  5. EcoVadis-recognized sustainable profile with readily biodegradable components and low aquatic toxicity.

Typical Applications Of BASF Hydropalat WE3450 Wetting Agent

  1. Waterborne industrial coatings (e.g., coil, can, and general metal coatings).

  2. Agricultural adjuvants for spray solutions requiring fast leaf coverage and uniform droplet spreading.

  3. Construction chemicals, including cementitious waterproofing slurries and tile adhesives.

  4. Textile pre-treatment baths for improved dye and finish uniformity on synthetic and blended fabrics.

  5. Automotive refinish clearcoats and basecoats where defect-free film formation is critical.
