The Secret Weapon for Improving Coating Defects

In the coating process, poor substrate wetting often leads to defects such as craters and orange peel, which seriously affect the appearance and protective performance of the product. IOTA245 Wetting Agent is born to meet these challenges. It possesses excellent substrate wetting and leveling functions, capable of rapidly reducing the surface tension of the coating system and allowing the coating to spread better on various substrates. At the same time, IOTA245 can effectively reduce surface friction, giving the coating good smoothness. Whether in water-based or solvent-based systems, it demonstrates good compatibility, helping coating manufacturers improve overall product quality, reduce rework rates, and increase production efficiency.

Wide Compatibility and Convenient Operation

IOTA245 not only performs stably but also offers high flexibility in application. It is suitable for various water-based systems, including water-based industrial paints, water-based wood coatings, water-based polyurethane, water-based acrylics, water-based alkyd resins, water-based printing pastes, water-based varnishes, as well as dip-coating paints, carpet adhesives, and various adhesives. Its technical indicators show that the product is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with an active content of >99.8%, a specific gravity (25℃) of 1.025-1.049, a refractive index (25℃) of 1.449-1.451, a viscosity (25℃) of 10-100cP, a cloud point of 50-60℃, and it is completely soluble in water. In actual operation, simply add it at a ratio of 0.1%-0.5% and mix evenly with the system to easily achieve anti-cratering and leveling effects, making it an indispensable assistant in coating formulations.
