Silicone Adjuvant

Silicone Adjuvant / Wetting & Spreading Agent(SS ARG) is agriculture Super Wetting and Spreading Agent, which have a low molecular weight non-ionic silicone surfactant, developed to improve the wetting, spreading and penetration of agricultural chemicals. It may be used as a formulation ingredient in pesticide products, or as a tank-mix adjuvant for foliar applied chemicals

SS ARG 110E, 275 & 220 is a general purpose, cost effective and very high performance Super Wetting and Spreading Agent (Plant Adjuvant, Sticker, and Spreader) which have a low molecular weight nonionic silicone polyether surfactant formulation, developed to improve the wetting, spreading and penetration of agricultural chemicals.

Typical values – should not be considered as specifications.

Features

• Acts as a good emulsifier
• Lowers surface tension to 22 dynes/cm
• Excellent wetting & spreading agent
• Easily soluble in water & alcohol
• Excellent foam builder
• Super spreading
• Non-ionic

Characteristics

• ARG 110 Super wetting Agent reduces the surface tension of aqueous agricultural mixtures significantly lower than is achievable with conventional nonionic surfactants, at concentrations as low as 0.01 percent.

• ARG 110 Super wetting Agent reduces surface tension below 22 dynes/cm, which produces very rapid wetting and spreading on hard-to-wet surfaces such as waxy leaves. Thus, complete coverage can be achieved with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals.

• In addition to the rapid wetting and spreading, SS ARG 110 Super wetting Agent also greatly increases the uptake of chemicals into plant tissues.

• Adding ARG 110 Super wetting Agent to a herbicide tank-mix may significantly enhance its efficacy, particularly in the control of broadleaf weeds with water soluble herbicides. The rapid uptake produces "Rain fastness".

• ARG 110 Super wetting Agent may be added to tank-mixes to enhance the biological performance of the spray solution. With herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals.

Recommended Dosage

SS ARG 110 Super wetting Agent should be used 0.015 to 0.035 percent of total formulation required.

Usable Life & Storage

Store the original container in a cool and dry place. Shelf life in the original unopened containers, when stored at or below 25°C, is 2 years.

Handling Precautions

Protect from temperatures exceeding 50°C. Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Combustible. Before handling, read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container labels for safe use, physical and health hazard information.
