Silibase-2886 Spray Adjuvant

Superiority:

Product Name: Silicone Surfactant / Spray Adjuvant
Item No.: Silibase-2886
Countertype Product: Silwet 806
CAS NO.: 134180-76-0

Key Features and Typical Benefits:
  • Nonionic
  • Superspreader for soluble liquid and emulsable concentrate formulations
  • Very low surface energy.
  • Rapid spreading and wetting. 
  • Improve spray coverage
  • Super spreading and penetrating of spray agricultural chemicals
  • Promotes rapid uptake of agrochemicals(rain fastness)
  • Accord with enviromental protection,reduces enviromental pollution caused by pesticides
  • Reduces the residues of pesticides

Applications:
It is a type of low viscosity silicone polyether copolymer liquid used to enhance the performance of wetting, spreading and penetration of agricultural chemicals. It may be used as a formulation ingredient in water-soluble broadleaf herbicides and insecticides, fungicides and plant growth regulators, or as a tank-mix adjuvant for foliar-applied chemicals.

Typical properties:
Appearance: Clear, little yellow liquid
Refractive index at 25°C: 1.440-1.450
Viscosity at 25°C (77°F): 30-50 cs
Active Content percent: 100%
Surface tension(0.1% aq.):?21.5 mN/m

Performances:
Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant 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, Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant reduces surface tension below 23 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, Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant also greatly increases the uptake of chemicals into plant tissues. Adding Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant 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 "rainfastness"; i.e., herbicides are not washed off by rainfall because they have penetrated into the plant surface.

HOW to Use in Agricultural Chemical Formulations:
Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant may be used as an ingredient in formulations, provided all the ingredients are compatible. Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant is stable in neutral aqueous formulations (pH=6.5-7.5), but will degrade rapidly in acidic or alkaline formulations. New product formulations should be thoroughly tested for performance and shelf stability before entering market.

As an Agricultural Chemical Tank-Mix Adjuvant:
Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant may be added to tank-mixes to enhance the biological performance of the spray solution. 

Use the additive according to manufacturers' label recommendation.

Usable Life and Storage:
When stored below 40°C (104°F), Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant has a shelf life of 36 months from date of manufacture.

Packaging:
Silibase-2886 Silicone Surfactant is available in 25-kg pails, 200-kg drums and 1000-kg tote-bins. But also we can do according to your special requirement.
