Agricultural Adjuvant
The primary function of silicone adjuvants lies in their exceptional ability to reduce the surface tension of water-based spray solutions. This "super-spreading" characteristic allows droplets to cover a much larger area of a plant's leaves, including waxy and hairy surfaces that are typically difficult to wet. This ensures a more thorough and consistent application of the active ingredients. leading to improved crop protection, higher yields, and more sustainable farming practices through potential reduced chemical use.

In Can Formulation
To maximize the performance of in-can formulations, formulators seek adjuvants that are stable over a wide pH range, compatible with agrochemical formulations
