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

Gravity does not play a role, as it is obvious from the fact that wetting takes place independent of the orientation of the pores relative to the direction of gravity.

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.

But the United Nations climate panel s latest assessment tells us precisely the opposite for North America, there is medium confidence that there has been an overall slight tendency toward less dryness (wetting trend with more soil moisture and runoff).

First removing rings, watches and bracelets, then regulating water flow, wetting hands and using enough soap, washing backs, fronts, sides and tips of fingers and then drying hands with paper towels which are used to close the faucet afterwards.

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.
