Wetting agents formulated to improve substrate wettability and facilitate the correct application of glazes, engobes, and ceramic suspensions.
Improved wettability and surface compatibility
Wetting agents are water-based additives designed to reduce the surface tension of the system, facilitating contact between the suspension and the ceramic substrate. This improves the spread of the glaze or engobe and promotes a more uniform application.
Moisturizers for nail polish
They improve spread and reduce problems of rejection or lack of wetting.
Humectants for engobes
They promote a homogeneous application on substrates with different absorption.
Wetting agents for decorative systems
They improve surface interaction in demanding technical applications.
Customized solutions
Formulations adapted to each system and production configuration.

It reduces surface tension to improve wettability and the spread of the suspension on the substrate.
The wetting agent acts primarily in the initial interaction with the substrate, while the leveling agent improves the subsequent uniformity of the applied layer.
Yes. Proper wettability contributes to a more homogeneous and stable application.
Yes. It is formulated to integrate with dispersants, deflocculants, and binders without altering the system's equilibrium.
Everything you need to know about ceramic wetting agents
Water-based additives to optimize surface wettability.
Ceramic wetting agents are water-based technical additives designed to reduce the surface tension of suspensions during application. In industrial production, ensuring correct wettability of the substrate is essential to facilitate contact between the clay body and the layers of glazes, engobes, or digital inks. Their action optimizes fluid spread and prevents defects caused by poor initial adhesion or irregular drying of the piece.
By integrating these compounds into the glazing line, factories achieve a homogeneous and stable distribution of the coating. At Kerafrit, we formulate advanced solutions that respect the rheological balance of the system and are fully compatible with dispersants or binders. This guarantees optimal production efficiency, reducing waste and ensuring flawless finishes batch after batch.
