Wetting additives

Formations can be oil wet or water wet. The fluid filtrate depends on what is the continuous phase of the completion fluid. Thus the formation wettability can be reduced by wettability charge. This effect can be controlled either by proper fluid selection or by treatment with water wetting additives.

Marangoni interfacial stresses which slow the dynamics of wetting. Additional variables which influence adhesion tension include (1) impurity profile and particle habit/morphology typically controlled in the particle formation stage such as crystallization, (2) temperature of granulation, and (3) technique of grinding, which is an additional source of impurity as well.

The most common acid solvent is inhibited muriatic acid. It is inhibited, as all acids solvents must be, to reduce chemical attack on metal surfaces to an acceptable level. Muriatic acid is cheap and effective. It forms reaction products that are generally water-soluble and so are removed in the used solvent. Sulfuric acid is seldom used because of its insoluble reaction products. Nitric acid cannot be prevented from attacking carbon steels or copper alloys. It has certain special applications where the substrate metal is stainless steel or aluminum. Of special interest for small-scale maintenance cleaning by plant personnel is sulfamic acid, mainly because it is a dry solid product that is safely to handle. It has acid properties only after it is dissolved in water. Solid inhibitors and wetting additives can be premixed into the packaged product. 

The bulk density of coal decreases with increasing moisture content until a minimum is reached (at approximately 6%-8% moisture) but then increases with moisture content. With the use of aqueous solutions of wetting additives, the coal bulk density can be increased by up to 15% (Leonard et al., 1993). 

Adherence between the filler and polymer surfaces is improved using coating or wetting additives such as stearates, titanates or zirconates by improving the level of wetting of the filler by the polymer and then... 

Method of Binder Incorporation. PVP can be incorporated in the granulation either by dry or by wet addition methods. The method of binder incorporation affects the granule s properties through its effect on binder dissolution and... 

Polymer Concentration. The effect of cellulosic polymer concentration on granule properties is dependent on their method of addition. In the wet addition method, increasing the concentration of HPC, different viscosity grades of HPMC and MC in lactose-cornstarch-microcrystalline cellulose systems increases the percentage of binder-rich oversize granules (61). The effect can be attributed to the increase in binder solution viscosity and heterogenous binder distribution. 

The classical pure silicones are made from hydrolysis of RSiXj, R SiX and RgSiX, where R, in most cases, is methyl, phenyl or a mixture of both. If only methyl substituted D units are used, with few M units as chain stoppers, extremely nonpolar polydimethylsiloxanes, commonly known as silicone oils (Figure 2.70), are obtained. Their viscosity is governed by the D M ratio. They are chemically inert, non-film forming products. Nevertheless, due to their low surface energy, they are extensively used as wetting additives, flow modifiers and defoamers. 

According to Mayer (1991) this was originally a species of red earth produced at Pozzuoh (ancient Puteoli, see the entry for Pozzuoh blue), a type of clay which set when wetted additionally synthetic iron oxides and a native earth of a peculiar rosy shade have supposedly been sold under this name. 

Silicone polyethers with specific structures are being increasingly used as defoaming and wetting additives for water-borne coatings. As similar prod-... 

Solsperse 2400 (Zeneca) is a polymeric dispersant. Levelling and wetting additives improve the film appearance. Bentonite is added to prevent settling of the pigment. Fluorad FC-430 reduces cratering but can have a negative effect on recoatability.
