Applications

​

Timber Treatment
Lanwet JH1 is highly effective as an aqueous‑based wetting agent for porous timber substrates. It enhances wetting and penetration of treatment solutions, supporting uniform uptake and consistent coverage during timber treatment processes.

​

Paints & Coatings (Water‑based)
Lanwet JH1 can be used where rapid substrate wetting and low surface tension are required to support uniform film formation and consistent application.

​

- Pigment / extender wetting (millbase & letdown): Supports wetting of powders during dispersion and letdown to help achieve uniform incorporation and reduce processing issues linked to poor wetting.
- Substrate wetting: Helps improve wetting on challenging substrates (e.g., low energy or sealed surfaces), supporting more uniform coverage.
- Application performance: Useful in formulations where rapid wetting assists with consistent application and improved “laydown” behaviour.

​

Inks (Water‑based / Functional Inks)
Suitable for ink systems requiring fast wetting and consistent substrate interaction, particularly where print uniformity is influenced by surface wetting.

​

- Print uniformity: Helps promote even wetting and spreading on substrates to support consistent coverage.
- Dispersion support: Can assist with wetting of pigment concentrates and other solid components during ink manufacture.

​

Adhesives (Water‑based)
Lanwet JH1 may be incorporated to support wetting and surface contact, which can be important for film formation and substrate interaction.

​

- Substrate contact / wet‑out: Helps improve wet‑out on substrates where water‑based systems can struggle to spread evenly.
- Processing: Can support consistent incorporation of components during mixing and manufacture where wetting influences homogeneity.

​

Industrial & Institutional (I&I) / Hard Surface Cleaning
Where rapid wetting helps cleaners spread quickly and maintain contact with soiled surfaces, Lanwet JH1 can act as a formulation wetting aid.

​

- Surface wetting / spreading: Supports rapid coverage on hard surfaces to aid contact time and uniform application.
- Formulation support: Useful in multi‑component aqueous systems where controlled wetting helps maintain consistent behaviour.

​

Agrochemical Formulations
In aqueous agrochemical systems, wetting agents are used to improve wetting of leaf surfaces and uniform distribution of actives.

​

- Wetting on waxy/low energy surfaces: Supports spreading and contact on hydrophobic plant surfaces.
- Tank‑mix compatibility: Can be used as a wetting component within broader adjuvant packages where required.

​

General Industrial Aqueous Formulations
Lanwet JH1 is suitable as a wetting aid in a range of aqueous industrial formulations where rapid wetting supports processing efficiency.

​

- Powder wet‑out: Assists wetting of solids during incorporation to help reduce floating/poor incorporation.
- Substrate pre‑wetting: Can be used where improved pre‑wetting supports downstream processing or application performance.
