Substrate Wetting Additives
Improved surface wetting for smooth film formation on challenging substrates. View Catalogue (PDF)Request SamplesWhat We Solve
Poor substrate wetting can lead to cratering, pinholes, and uneven film formation — especially on low surface energy substrates or contaminated surfaces. JebChem Substrate Wetting Additives are designed to improve wetting performance, ensuring smoother films and better surface coverage in coatings and inks.
- Water-borne systems
- Solvent-borne systems
- Printing inks
- Overprint varnish (OPV) systems
Our portfolio includes both silicone and silicone-free technologies, offering tailored solutions for static and dynamic wetting requirements. Products with enhanced dynamic wetting are ideal for high-speed printing applications, while static wetting options support uniform film formation in coating systems. Silicone-free grades also offer low-foam or defoaming characteristics, supporting stable processing performance.
