Agricultural Surfactants

Product Details:

Silicon Based Spreader- Surfactant is a consequence of lowering surface tension dramatically i.e. below 25 mN/m. Hence,agricultural sprays containing Silicon Surfactant can deliver crop protection products and foliar fertilizer more effectively by:
 • Complete wetting of treated vegetation(wetting action),
 • Allowing the spray to reach locations that are conventionally not accessible (targeting effect),
• Better uptake through the waxy layer of leaves (cubicula penetration), entering stomata por(stomatal flooding). Key Features and Benefits:
• Superspreader for soluble liquid and emulsifiable concentrate formulations
• Promotes spray volume reduction
• Promotes rapid uptake of agrochemicals (rainfastness)
• Improves spray coverage
• Nonionic Uses:
• With herbicides,
 • With fungicides,
• With insecticides & acaracides,
 • With plant growth regulators (PGR),
• With micronutrients,
• As soil wetting agent & dew control agent In Agrochemical Formulations:
 • Spray adjuvant may be used as a component in agrochemical formulations. Although organosilicone surfactants are subject to hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions, optimum performance is achieved by buffering the formulation to pH 6.5 - 7.5. Additionally, it is recommended that spray adjuvant be used at a concentration of at least 5%, based on the total formulation. As A Tank Mix Adjuvant:
 • Spray adjuvant, when used as a tank-side adjuvant may be used to improve spray coverage, improve uptake or to allow for a reduction in sprayvolume.
• Spray adjuvant is most effective as a tank-side
adjuvant when spray mixtures are 1) within a pH range of 5-8, and 2) used within 24hours of preparation.
