Wetting agent for film and photo paper
Wetting agent reduces drying time and aids uniform drying by reducing the water surface tension, thus reduce water marks and stripes on the film. Generally dilute the wetting agent concentrate before use with distilled water, 5 ml of the concentrate per one litre of water (Dilution: 1 + 200). Note: The film should be washed well before the rinse aid is applied. List of current wetting agents:
