Superwetting Surfactants Market Share, Demand, Analysis, Growth, Trends, Segment

Posted by Market Research Future on October 19th, 2021

Market Overview

Wetting is a natural phenomenon in which a solid substrate is covered by a layer of fluid material. The surface forces in this phenomenon helps in wetting and the equilibrium coverage of the surface of a substrate in contact with liquid. Superwetters are the wetting agents which reduce the surface tension of a liquid and increase its contact with the substrate. The product finds applications in the various end-use industries such as paints & coatings, agriculture, and other industrial applications. The significant properties of the superwetting surfactants include water-solubility and spreading and wetting property. In addition, the product has excellent spreading and wetting property which makes it applicable in the agricultural adjuvants.
