When it comes to agricultural silicone surfactants, Momentive Silwet 408 is one of the most famous and widely used products in the global market. However, many buyers are looking for high-performance alternatives with stable quality and better pricing.
ZG-618 is designed as a direct equivalent to Silwet 408, providing similar performance in wetting, spreading, penetration, and rainfastness—while offering a more competitive cost for global wholesalers, distributors, and agrochemical manufacturers.
ZG-618 is a trisiloxane ethoxylate nonionic surfactant specially developed for agrochemical use. It reduces the surface tension of spray solutions to below 21 mN/m (0.1% concentration), allowing liquid droplets to spread widely on hydrophobic leaf surfaces and penetrate leaf stomata quickly—matching the core performance of Momentive Silwet 408.
Performance Comparison: ZG-618 vs Silwet 408
In practical tests and real-world applications, ZG-618 performs identically to Momentive Silwet 408 in key indicators:
• Both provide super-spreading ability, reducing runoff and improving coverage
• Both enhance pesticide efficacy by promoting rapid absorption of active ingredients
• Both show excellent rainfastness, reducing wash-off and ensuring long-lasting effect
• Both are fully compatible with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and foliar fertilizers
• Both have low phytotoxicity at recommended dosage, safe for all common crops
Why More Buyers Choose ZG-618 Over Silwet 408
