Substrate wetting agents enable uniform wetting of coatings and printing inks, even on extremely low surface energy or contaminated surfaces. Good wetting is the basic prerequisite for optimum adhesion. These products can minimize or improve coating surface defects such as shrinkage craters and poor leveling.
