Application of wetting agent for water-based shoe paint
The application of wetting agent for water-based shoe paint is mainly reflected in improving the performance
and construction effect of water-based shoe paint. The following is a detailed analysis of the application of
wetting agent for water-based shoe paint:
1. Mechanism of action of wetting agent
Wetting agent is a chemical substance that can reduce the surface tension of liquid and make the liquid better
wet the solid surface. In water-based shoe paint, the main function of wetting agent is to improve the dispersibility
of pigments and fillers, so that they can be evenly dispersed in the paint, avoiding precipitation and stratification.
At the same time, wetting agent can also improve the fluidity and wettability of the paint, making it easier to apply
the paint on the substrate and improving the construction performance.
2. Specific application effect of wetting agent
Improving dispersibility: Wetting agent can assist the dispersion process of pigments and fillers in water-based shoe paint,
improve dispersion efficiency, ensure that pigments and fillers are evenly distributed in the paint, thereby avoiding precipitation
and stratification.
Improving fluidity: Wetting agent can reduce the viscosity of the paint, improve the fluidity of the paint, make it easier to apply
the paint evenly during construction, and reduce the generation of brush marks and bubbles.
Enhance wettability: Wetting agent can enhance the wettability of coating to substrate, so that coating can better adhere to
substrate, improve the adhesion and durability of coating.
Improve gloss: Wetting agent can also improve the color development performance of coating, improve the gloss and color
performance of paint film, and make coating more beautiful.
3. Selection and use precautions of wetting agent
Choose a suitable wetting agent: When choosing a wetting agent, you need to consider the type of coating, specific application
scenarios and wetting requirements for fillers and substrates. Different types of coatings and different application scenarios have
different requirements for wetting agents, so it is necessary to choose a suitable wetting agent to give full play to its role.
Add according to a certain proportion: The amount of wetting agent added should be determined according to the formula and
performance requirements of the coating.
Too much or too little addition will affect the performance and quality of the coating. Therefore, when adding wetting agent, it is
necessary to add it strictly according to the formula ratio.
Stir well: After adding the wetting agent, the coating should be stirred well to ensure that the wetting agent can be evenly dispersed
in the coating to avoid the situation of excessive or low local concentration.
4. Case analysis
Take the water-based shoe paint wetting agent produced by a company as an example. This product is widely used in water-based coatings
and ink systems. It can provide low surface tension and high surface activity, improve fluidity and leveling, increase smoothness and gloss,
and provide excellent substrate wetting and leveling. When using, just add it to the water-based shoe paint in a certain proportion and stir
it thoroughly.
In summary, the application of water-based shoe paint wetting agents is of great significance for improving coating performance and improving
construction effects. When selecting and using wetting agents, it is necessary to fully consider the type of coating, application scenarios, and
wetting requirements for fillers and substrates to ensure that the wetting agent can fully play its role.
