Description
Silwet 408 spray adjuvant is a superspreading surfactant based on a trisiloxane ethoxylate. Silwet 408 spray adjuvant lowers the surface tension of spray solutions, beyond that which is achievable with conventional adjuvants.Typically, Silwet 408 spray adjuvant (@ 0.1 wt %) gives an aqueous surface tension of <22 mN/m. On the other hand, an octylphenol ethoxylate containing 10 EO units (a commonly used nonionic surfactant) at 1.0 wt % gives a surface tension of only 30 mN/m.The bottom line Silwet 408 spray adjuvant helps lower the aqueous surface tension more effectively than conven tional spray adjuvants.Additionally, under specific conditions, Silwet 408 spray adjuvant promotes rapid uptake of agrochemicals into plants via stomatal infiltration. Spray solutions taken into plants in this way become rainfast, thereby improving application reliability.Unlike other trisiloxane alkoxylates, which are negatively affected by oil based components (i.e. EC formulations, spray oils, etc.), Silwet 408 spray adjuvant provides enhanced spreading in many of these types of formulations relative to competitive organosilicone based adjuvants.Silwet 408 spray adjuvant is nonionic in nature, making it useful with a broad range of agrochemical formulations.
Key Features and Benefits

• Silwet L-77 spray adjuvant is a superspreading surfactant based on a trisiloxane ethoxylate. Silwet L-77 spray adjuvant lowers the surface tension of spray solutions, beyond that which is achievable with conventional adjuvants.
• Typically, Silwet L-77 spray adjuvant (@0.1 wt%) gives an aqueous surface tension of 20.5mN/m. On the other hand, an octyl phenol ethoxylate containing 10 EO units (a commonly used nonionic surfactant) at 1.0 wt % gives a surface tension of only 30mN/m.
• The bottom line? Silwet L-77 spray adjuvant helps lower the aqueous surface tension more effectively than conventional spray adjuvants.
• Because Silwet L-77 spray adjuvant is a superspreading surfactant, the contact angle of spray solutions on leaf surfaces is reduced, leading to an increase in spray coverage.
