Silicone

Silicone is a non-ionic silicone surfactant with super-extending wettability. It can reduce the surface tension of the spray liquid more rapidly than traditional adjuvants. At a concentration of 0.1% (wt.), it can reduce the surface tension of water to 20.5mN/m, effectively reducing the contact angle between the spray liquid and the leaf surface, thereby increasing the coverage of the spray. It can also promote the absorption of pesticide spray by leaf pores, achieving rain erosion resistance, thereby increasing effectiveness.

Silicone is super-spreading agent for solutions and emulsions. Reduces spray volume, increases spray coverage, promotes rapid pesticide absorption, and is rain-resistant. Non-ionic surfactant.

Specification:

Appearance Colorless to light amber transparent liquid
Viscosity (25°C, mm²/s) 30~50
Surface tension (25°C, 0.1%, mN/m) <20.5
Cloud point (1% wt, °C) <10℃

 

Applications:

  1. As a tank mix adjuvant: The recommended dosage is 0.01-0.1%, with a pH of 6-8. For optimal performance, use within 24 hours.
  2. Added to pesticide formulations: Because silicone surfactants hydrolyze under acidic and alkaline conditions, a sustained-release agent can be used to adjust the pH to 6.5-7.5 for optimal performance. The recommended dosage is 0.1-5%.

 

Storage:

The product should be sealed and stored in a dry and cool place, avoiding contact with acids and alkalis and away from fire. The effective storage period is 24 months.
