KY-1028 super wetting agent as silicone surfactant for agro-chemical
KY-1028 Silicone surfactant is a low molecular weight nonionic silicone polyether 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.
Feature:
very low surface energy
rapid spreading and wetting
Properties:
Appearance: transparent liquid or light amber liquid
Surface tension: (0.1%Wt): 20.5-22.5mN/m
Density(25°C):1.010-1.015g/cm3
Viscosity(25°C): 30-50mPa.S
Cloud point(0.1%Wt aqueous solution): <35°C
Active ingredient: 100%
Performance characteristics:
Reduces the surface tension of aqueous agricultural mixtures, very rapid wetting and spreading on hard-to-wet surfaces such as waxy leaves, complete coverage can be achieved with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals.
Greatly increases the uptake of chemicals into plant tissues. Adding KY-1028 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”, herbicides are not washed off by rainfall because they have penetrated into the plant surface.
KY-1028 can be added into production of the pesticide or added into pesticide before spraying. The recommended dosage is between 0.5%-8%. The PH value preferred is between 6-8. The dosage of the product should be adjusted according to different type of pesticide to meet the optimal effects. The recommended dosage for reference is as the following table:
Pesticide | fipronil | methidathion | triazophos | kresoxim-methyl | carbendazol | difenoconazole | 2%avermectin | 1%Emamectin-benzoate | imidacloprid |
concentration(%) | 2-4 | 1-3 | 0.6-2 | 2-6 | 1-3 | 2-6 | 2-3 | 1-3 | 2-7 |
