The present invention relates to the use of surfactants of the general formula (I) n R—O-(A) n -(B) m —H (I) wheren R is a C 8 -alkyl radical, A is propylenoxy, B is ethylenoxy, n is an average value of from 0.8 to 2.0 and m is an average value of from 2.0 to 5.0n nas a wetting agent for hydrophobic polymer surfaces, and to a wetting agent comprisingn n a) from 0.5 to 50% by weight of at least one surfactant of the general formula (I) according to claim 1, b) from 1.0 to 10% by weight of a C 8 -alcohol and c) from 0.5 to 30% by weight of a compound of the general formula (IV) n R—O-(A) n -H (IV) wheren R is a C 8 -alkyl radical, A is propylenoxy and n is an average value of from 0.8 to 2.0. |
