Features Of Evonik TEGO WET 500 Wetting Agent

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

  2. Excellent compatibility with water-based and solvent-borne formulations, including high-solids systems.

  3. Non-ionic surfactant structure ensures outstanding electrolyte tolerance and pH stability (pH 2–13).

  4. Low foaming profile—ideal for high-shear processes and airless spray applications.

  5. REACH-compliant and VOC-free, supporting sustainable formulation design.

Typical Applications Of Evonik TEGO WET 500 Wetting Agent

  1. Waterborne architectural coatings (e.g., interior/exterior paints and primers).

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and plastic substrates.

  3. Wood coatings requiring uniform flow and defect-free film formation.

  4. Printing inks—especially UV-curable and aqueous flexographic inks.

  5. Adhesives and sealants where substrate dewetting must be eliminated.
