There is described an aqueous, storage-stable, low-foam wetting agent comprising a nonionic surfactant selected from the group of the partially end-capped alkoxylated fatty alcohols, characterised in that it comprises (a) from 10 to 80% of a nonionic surfactant of the general formula <IMAGE> where R is an aliphatic radical of at least 8 carbon atoms, R1 is hydrogen, C1-C8-alkyl, a cycloaliphatic radical of at least 5 carbon atoms, phenyl(lower alkyl) or styryl, "Alkylen" is an alkylene radical of 2 to 14 carbon atoms, and p is a number from 2 to 24, and (b) from 1 to 10% by weight of a hydrotrope. The novel wetting agent is used in textile treatment, in particular in pretreatment. |
