Momentive Launches Two Adjuvants
6 de agosto de 2007 “These additions to the Silwet line build on our heritage of innovation in agricultural applications by significantly extending the stability range of silicone adjuvants,” said S. Ari Papoulias, global marketing, Momentive. “By incorporating these innovative adjuvants ‘in-can,’ pesticide formulators may now offer their customers all the advantages of silicone superspreaders and penetrants. And, the ‘in-can’ alternative is often a better and more efficient method of delivery compared to the addition of the individual components ‘tank-side.'”
The company says that Silwet HS-312 spreader offers superior spreading performance at lower concentrations relative to other commercial surfactants, and extended stability in water-based formulations that range from pH 3 to pH 12. Silwet HS-312 spreader is also compatible with a number of agrochemical components and can be dispersed into water-based agricultural formulations, yielding products with excellent shelf life, the company noted in a release.
Silwet HS-429 penetrant offers improved efficacy of glyphosate and other water-soluble herbicides, the company said. Optimized to provide excellent penetration as well as better stability in the pH 4 to 9 range, it is a cost-effective adjuvant that can replace Tallow Amine Ethoxylates (TAE) and other common commercial surfactants. Also, Silwet HS-429 penetrant may be used at rates that are as much as 10 times lower compared to conventional surfactant adjuvants.
