Product features:
Excellent spreading performance:
The additive can reduce the surface tension of the spray formulation to < 22 mN/m, well below the lower limit of traditional non-silicone additives (about 30 mN/m).
When the spray droplets touch the leaf surface, they can maximize the contact area of the liquid and achieve complete wetting of the target crop or weed.
Fast wetting and penetration:
Even on the waxy, most difficult leaf surfaces, it can be quickly lowered below the critical surface tension to achieve full wetting.
At higher concentrations, the sprays can even penetrate the interior of the leaves through the plant’s gas exchange pores (stomata), improving the performance of agrochemicals.
Save resources:
Due to its super spreadability, it is able to provide typical spray coverage, thus reducing the amount of spray without compromising performance.
This is especially important in areas where water is increasingly scarce, while also speeding up mechanized spraying operations and reducing the work burden on farmers.
Good compatibility:
As a non-ionic additive, it is compatible with all spray mixtures and there is no need to worry about formulation incompatibilities.
Performance enhancement:
In addition to enhancing spreadability, it also improves the performance of agricultural chemicals, including but not limited to rain wash function, improve the absorption of nutrients in the leaf surface, etc.
Application field:
Mainly used in insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, leaf fertilizer, plant growth regulators, trace elements and biological pesticides and other agricultural chemicals spray formulations.
1. Improve the adhesion and spreading of liquid medicine
Reduce surface tension: This agent can reduce the surface tension of the spray formulation to < 22 mN/m, well below the lower limit of traditional non-silicone additives. This helps the spray droplets to expand rapidly on the blade and increase the contact area.
Full wetting effect: Its spread allows the spray droplets to fully wet the target crop or weed, even on unsprayed surfaces.
2. Enhance the permeability and absorption of pesticides
Stomatal penetration: At higher concentrations, the additive can help the spray agent penetrate into the inside of the leaf through the gas exchange holes (stomata) of the plant, bringing the agricultural chemical active substances into the inside of the leaf, thereby improving the permeability and absorption of the pesticide.
Improve the efficiency of endogenous insecticides: Improve the efficiency of endogenous insecticides through the absorption of plant stomata and through the waxy layer.
3. Improve the efficiency of pesticide use and reduce waste
Water saving: Due to the super spreading nature of the agent, it is able to provide typical spray coverage, thereby reducing the amount of spray without compromising performance, which is particularly important in regions where water resources are increasingly scarce and precious.
Reduce pesticide loss: In traditional pesticide sprays, only 20-30% of the liquid can be stored on the leaves of the crop, and this additive can significantly increase this proportion, reducing the loss of pesticides to the soil and atmosphere.
4. Improve the efficacy and control effect
Fast wetting of crops: fast wetting of the surface of crops, so that the liquid medicine quickly spread to all parts of the plant, greatly improve the efficacy.
Promote the absorption of internal absorption type agents through stomata: For pesticides that need internal absorption, the additive can promote their entry into the plant through the stomata and improve the control effect.
5. Good mixing
Compatible with a variety of pesticides: the additive has good mixing ability and can be mixed with a variety of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, leaf fertilizers, plant growth regulators, etc., providing farmers with greater flexibility.
6. Use precautions
Usage and time of use: The amount of this additive used varies according to different pesticide types and crop types. Spraying is usually recommended in the morning or evening when the weather is more stable.
Application guidance
WL510 disperses easily into water and should be added to the spray can at the final stage without over-stirring to minimize foam.
WL510 easily hydrolyzes under acidic or alkaline conditions. Ideally, the spray formula should be buffered as close to neutral as possible (pH 7.0).
Sprays should be used directly after mixing and not left out, for example overnight. When using WL510, high spray rates are not required to achieve good spray coverage and should be avoided to prevent runoff caused by the combination of excessive spray rates. WL510 is usually used in a spray can at a concentration of 0.025%-0.1%.
In SUMMARY:
This super spreading polyether silicone additive can significantly improve the spraying effect of agricultural chemicals, reduce resource consumption, and improve the performance and use efficiency of chemicals through its unique properties. It has important application value in modern agricultural production.
