A chemical that when added to water reduces the surface tension of the solution and causes it to spread and penetrate exposed objects more effectively than the untreated water. 

A chemical solution that lowers surface tension and causes film to dry faster and more evenly, thereby reducing the risk of water spots on the film.

a material that increases the ability of a liquid to wet a surface. Using a small drop of liquid dish detergent with your weed killers helps the chemicals penetrate into the weeds. WHIP:

A material that increases the ability of a liquid to wet a surface. Using a small drop of liquid dish detergent with your weed killers helps the chemicals penetrate into the weeds. whip:

Compourd that reduces the droplet size and lowers the surface tension of the water, making it wetter.

Compourd that reduces the droplet size and lowers the surface tension of the water, making it wetter. WICK

 A material that increases the ability of a liquid to wet a surface. Using a small drop of liquid dish detergent with your weed killers helps the chemicals penetrate into the weeds.

compound that reduces the droplet size and lowers the surface tension of the water, making it wetter. Liquid concentrate dish soap is a good wetting agent if it is biodegradable.

A material capable of lowering the surface tension of water and water solutions and increasing their wetting powers.

A substance capable of lowering the surface tension of liquids, facilitating the wetting of solid surfaces and permitting the penetration of liquids into the capillaries.

Compound having the property of modifying the characteristics of the contact between a liquid and a solid surface to promote more rapid and complete wetting of the surface.

A chemical which reduces surface tension of water, allowing it to spread more freely.

Wetting is produced when this surface active agent decreases the cohesion within a liquid. For wetting to occur, the adhesive force between the two phases (solid and liquid) is greater than the cohesi [..]

An additive which reduces surface and interfacial tension, and thus, facilitates spreading of a fluid over a surface.

A chemical or solution that will reduce the surface tension and allow easier penetration of the water or solution into the material.

See 'surfactant.'

A substance that will reduce the surface tension of a liquid, thereby reducing the formation of air bubbles.

Substance that reduces the surface tension of a liquid, causing the liquid to spread across or penetrate more easily the surface of a solid.

Detergent type solution used after the film has had its final wash to lower the surface tension of water and prevent drying marks.

material that decreases the contact angle of a liquid on a surface; a substance added to a spray to reduce the surface tension of the applied droplets. See also surfactant.

A chemical that aids in liquid-to-surface contact.

A compound that increases the ability and speed with which a liquid displaces air from a solid surface, thus improving the process of wetting that surface. Wetting agents are all surfactants. They fun [..]

A substance that reduces the surface tension of a liquid, causing the liquid to spread across or penetrate more easily the surface of a solid. Detergents and soaps generally accomplish this with water.

See Water Tension Breaker.

A medium that makes a paint more susceptible to a painter's brush strokes. Wetting agents usually release the surface tension of a liquid and allow it to be more freely moved.
