HY HY-1600 Wetting Agent

HY HY-1600 Wetting Agent is a high-efficiency anionic surfactant from HY’s specialty additives series, designed for rapid substrate wetting and superior surface tension reduction in water-based coatings, agrochemicals, and cleaning formulations. It ensures uniform dispersion, enhances penetration, and improves overall formulation stability without foaming issues.

Features Of HY HY-1600 Wetting Agent

  1. Exceptionally low surface tension (<25 mN/m at 0.1% aqueous solution) for rapid substrate penetration and uniform wetting.

  2. High hydrolytic and formulation stability across pH 4–10, compatible with common surfactants and agrochemical actives.

  3. Non-ionic, alcohol-ether based chemistry ensuring low foaming and minimal impact on spray droplet size distribution.

  4. Eco-preferred profile: readily biodegradable (OECD 301D compliant), non-bioaccumulative, and free of APEOs and heavy metals.

  5. Effective at low use levels (0.05–0.3% w/w), delivering cost-efficient performance in concentrated and ready-to-use systems.

Typical Applications Of HY HY-1600 Wetting Agent

  1. Agrochemical adjuvants for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides to enhance foliar coverage and uptake.

  2. Water-based industrial coatings, including architectural paints and coil coatings, improving substrate wetting and leveling.

  3. Printing inks—especially aqueous flexographic and gravure formulations—for improved ink transfer and substrate anchorage.

  4. Cleaning formulations for metal pretreatment, agricultural equipment washes, and hard-surface cleaners.

  5. Specialty pesticide tank-mix additives to prevent crystallization, improve dispersion, and reduce spray drift.
