Textile Wetting Agent
CAS Number: 577-11-7
Textile wetting agent is a sulfosuccinate-based anionic surfactant that dramatically reduces the surface tension of aqueous processing baths, ensuring rapid and uniform penetration of dyes, bleaches, and finishing chemicals into fiber substrates. It accelerates wetting of hydrophobic synthetic fibers and assists in uniform liquor distribution during padding and exhaust processes. Low foam character makes it ideal for jet dyeing and continuous finishing lines.
