Wetting Agents

Wetting Agents Supplier in Perth, Australia

Our Chemical Engineers at All Chemical leverage world-class technology to provide the best quality wetting agents. We are committed to innovating solutions to ensure optimum growth without harming the environment.

Our wetting agents are long lasting and can easily penetrate soil even in most extreme situations. The result is a significant increase in water retention and increased penetration into the soil that help boost plant growth. With their ability to attach to the soil particles, our wetting agents provide a layer that easily absorbs water as well as allowing water to pass through effortlessly.

At All Chemical, we recommended the use of the following wetting agents:

• Hydrapol RP90
• Hydrapol RP90L.

What does a wetting agent do?

Wetting agents, also referred to as surfactants. Wetting agents are chemical substances that have the ability to increase the spreading and penetrating properties of a liquid. They are mainly used so that soil hydrates uniformly when watered. Wetting agents are very beneficial when the soil used for plantations is relatively dry or when it doesn’t receive enough water on a regular basis.

A wetting agent can be used with various other chemicals such as Herbicides, Pesticides, Antiseptics and Fertilizers to increase the absorption and spreading of chemicals and neutrants on crops. Wetting agents enable soil to absorb more water for a much longer time and release it in a controlled manner.

How does a wetting agent work?

Dry soils are a frequently occurring problem in Australia. These dry soils come into existence because of a waxy coating on the soil, which resists water entering and infiltrating the soil. Our soil Wetting agents overcome that waxing coating and allow water to penetrate the pore space between. As a result the soil will be able to absorb more water and spread it evenly throughout the soils. The wetting agents can be applied on a variety of liquids other than water, such as plant growth regulation, Herbicides, Pesticides, Antiseptics, Fertilizers.

Wetting agents work best when they are applied at the beginning of spring season since it is easier to maintain soil moisture rather than keep rewetting it once it has dried out. This facilitates the uptake of water when the wetting agents are initially applied and optimises the spreading of water in the underlying layers eliminating excessive use of water.

What is the purpose of a wetting agent?

The main purpose of a wetting agent is to boost the spread and penetration of a liquid by lowering its surface tension. This allows it to spread more easily and evenly as its adhesion properties get strengthened.

Wetting agents are revolutionary in improving root growth and air-to-water ratios.While there are various products that can increase soil’s ability to hold water, nothing is as powerful and economical as wetting agent. It rapidly aids the water’s ability to penetrate the surface and allows it to hold water for an extended period of time.

Are wetting agents safe?

Selecting the right type of wetting agents is very important. Our wetting agents are safe and versatile as they can be used in various applications such as herbicides, pesticides, antiseptics and fertilizers.
When you use our wetting agents, you can rest assured that they are of the highest quality and are made from natural biodegradable chemicals. Use our wetting agents to minimise water usage.
