The applications in a general sense could be anything that's anti wetting.

If you'd said that before, you'd have saved us both a wetting.

General Dust control by wetting material, use of respirators, use of full protective clothing with attention when further treating any contaminated clothing (information from crocidolite DGD).

Self assembled monolayers have been proposed as micro patterns for electronic circuits by using their wetting characteristics to protect the silicon surface as an alternative to conventional photolithography.

Re wetting peatlands and the restoration of degraded peat forests should be the next step, followed by the creation of early warning systems to detect and control forest fires. Finally, with the support of the private sector, Indonesia needs to establish a community based forest management system.

Obama s claim about record droughts similarly fails even on a cursory level the United States has in all academic estimates been getting wetter over the century (with the 1930 s dust bowl setting the drought high point). This is even true globally over the past half century, as one of the most recent scientific studies of actual soil moisture shows there is an overall small wetting trend in global soil moisture.
