Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to wetting agent formulations comprising wetting agents combined with co-additives that ensure the wetting agent formulation is a flowable liquid at room temperature. Wetting agents suitable for use in this invention are multi-branched block copolymers. The copolymers include a polyfunctional base which is an oxygen-containing compound having at least three ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer branches attached thereto. The co-additives include a combination of a solvent with an intermediate-to-high polar parameter and a low hydrogen bonding parameter and a solvent with intermediate-to-high hydrogen bonding parameter, as defined by Hansen's solubility parameters.
