Dow X-405 Wetting Agent

Dow X-405 Wetting Agent is a high-performance silicone-based surfactant from Dow’s X-Series, designed to rapidly reduce surface tension in aqueous systems. It enhances substrate wetting, improves dispersion, and delivers excellent foam control in industrial coatings, agrochemicals, and cleaning formulations. Compatible with broad chemistries, it offers low-foam efficiency and robust stability across pH and temperature ranges.

Features Of Dow X-405 Wetting Agent

  1. Ultra-low surface tension for rapid substrate wetting on low-energy surfaces.

  2. Excellent compatibility with water-based and solvent-borne industrial coating systems.

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

  4. Low foaming profile suitable for high-shear mixing and automated application processes.

  5. REACH-compliant formulation with no intentionally added APEOs or heavy metals.

Typical Applications Of Dow X-405 Wetting Agent

  1. Architectural waterborne paints and primers.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  3. Automotive OEM and refinish clearcoats and basecoats.

  4. Wood coatings including stains, sealers, and UV-curable topcoats.

  5. Printing inks for flexible packaging and label applications.
