TEGO Wet KL 245 Silicone-Based Substrate Wetting Agent for Waterborne & Solventborne Coatings and Inks

Full Name: TEGO Wet KL 245 Silicone‑based Substrate Wetting Additive Cross‑system substrate wetting agent for water‑borne and partial solvent‑borne formulations. Enhances spreading over hard‑to‑wet substrates with low‑foam property. Suitable for coatings, inks and leather finishing materials. Core Technical Parameters Test Item Typical Value Chemical Composition  Silicone‑based surfactant Active Content 100 % Appearance Clear liquid Viscosity (25℃) 80‑180 mPa·s Applicable pH Range  3‑12 Standard Package 25 kg plastic drum, 200 kg steel drum Key Advantages   1.  Reduces system surface tension, improves wetting & spreading over low‑surface‑energy substrates. 2.  Offers partial crater‑inhibition effect, minimises pinhole & crater defects after application. 3.  Low foaming tendency, adapts to high‑speed stirring and spray‑application processes. 4.  Works for water‑borne and selected solvent‑borne systems; good compatibility with anionic & non‑ionic components. 5.  Compatible with polyurethane, acrylic and emulsion‑based resin formulations. Main Application Fields Core Applications: Water‑borne industrial coatings, wood coatings, plastic coatings, water‑borne flexo / gravure printing inks Suitable Applications: Leather primers & topcoats, industrial architectural paints, ink‑jet inks Restriction: Do not apply to food‑contact articles without valid compliance certification.
