Compositions including ether-capped poly (oxyalkylated) alcohol wetting agents

A wetting composition comprising:

• (a) from about 0.01% to about 50% by weight of the composition of a wetting agent, wherein said wetting agent comprises an ether-capped poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol having the formula:
• RO(R1O)xCH(CH3)OR2
• wherein R is selected from the group consisting of linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radicals having from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms;
• R1 may be the same or different, and is independently selected from the group consisting of branched or linear C2 to C7 alkylene in any given molecule;
• x is a number from 1 to about 30;
• and R2 is selected from the group consisting of:
• (i) a 4 to 8 membered substituted, or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring containing from 1 to 3 hetero atoms;
• (ii) substituted or unsubstituted, unsaturated cyclic or aromatic hydrocarbon radicals having from about 4 to about 30 carbon atoms;
• (iii) a 7 to 13 membered substituted, or unsubstituted polycyclic ring;
• and
• (iv) a hydrocarbon of the formula:
• —(CH2)y—X
• wherein y is an integer from 0 to 7, and X is a 4 to 8 membered substituted or substituted, cyclic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical;
• and
• (b) from about 0.1% to about 99% by weight of the composition of an adjunct ingredient.
