Wynca xhg-277

Wynca xhg-277 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, XHG-277 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.

Features & Benefits

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.
  • Promotes rapid uptake of agrochemicals(rain fastness).
  • Reduces the residues of pesticides
Performances

In addition to the rapid wetting and spreading, XHG-277 Silicone Surfactant also greatly increases the uptake of chemicals into plant tissues. Adding XHG-277 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.

Applications & Uses

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.

How to Use in Agricultural Chemical Formulations

XHG-277 Silicone Surfactant may be used as an ingredient in formulations, provided all the ingredients are compatible. XHG-277 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.
