With over a decade of expertise in manufacturing Textile, Inks, Fertilizer, and Industrial Chemicals, we operate from a state-of-the-art facility at MIDC, Anand Nagar, Ambernath, with an installed capacity of 2000 MT/month. Our head office is located in Andheri.
Certified under ISO 9001:2015, Pacific Texchem supplies PAN India and exports across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, supporting global textile mills with sustainable and high-performance auxiliaries.
What Are Wetting Agents and Why Are They Critical for Export-Quality Fabric?
Wetting agents are surfactants designed to reduce the surface tension between liquids and textile fibers. In textile pre-treatment, this allows water and chemicals to penetrate deep into the fabric, ensuring uniform wetting, effective cleaning, better absorbency, and smooth dyeing outcomes.
Key Advantages for Export Houses:
- Enhances capillary action for deeper penetration
- Reduces fabric defects during scouring/dyeing
- Increases dye uptake and color fastness
- Minimizes rework and saves energy, water, and time
Types of Wetting Agents Used in Textile Processing
Wetting agents in textile processing are chosen based on fiber type, pH, foaming requirement, and process (batch, continuous, jet, etc.). They are often paired with:
- Scouring agents
- Desizing enzymes
- Detergents
- Sequestering agents
- Anti-foaming agents
