1. Product Name
Agricultural Silicone Surfactant ZG-609
2. Introduction
Agricultural Silicone Spreading and Penetrating Agent ZG-609, a modified trisiloxane, is an organic silicone surfactant with extraordinary spreading capabilities. When its concentration reaches 0.1% (wt.), it can reduce the water surface tension to as low as 20.5mN/m. By mixing it with pesticide solutions in appropriate proportions, ZG-609 can decrease the contact angle between the spray and foliage. This not only expands the coverage area of the spray but also enables the pesticide to be absorbed through the stomata of leaves. As a result, it significantly improves the efficacy of pesticides, reduces the amount of pesticide required, cuts costs, and helps reduce environmental pollution caused by pesticides.
3. Feature
  • Super spreading and penetrating agent: Exhibits outstanding spreading and penetration properties, ensuring better distribution and absorption of pesticides.

  • Reduces the dosage of agrochemical spraying agent: Allows for a reduction in the amount of agrochemical spraying agent used while maintaining or even enhancing effectiveness.

  • Promotes the rapid uptake of the agrochemical (tolerance to rainfall): Facilitates the quick absorption of agrochemicals by plants and shows good resistance to rainfall, reducing the likelihood of the pesticide being washed away.

  • Non - ionic: Its non - ionic nature makes it compatible with a wide range of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals.

5. Application

5.1 Used as spray adjuvant
      ZG-609 can increase the coverage of the spraying agent, promote the uptake and decrease the dosage of the spraying agent.
  • pH range: The most effective results are achieved when the spray mixtures are within a pH range of 5-8.

  • Preparation time: It is recommended to prepare the spray mixture for immediate use. If not possible, it should be used within 24 hours of preparation.

5.2 Used in agrochemical formulations
ZG-609 can be added to the original pesticide. Since surfactants can be hydrolyzed under certain pH conditions, to achieve the best results, the pH of the pesticide formulation should be adjusted to 6.5 - 7.5 using a slow - release agent. Generally, ZG - 609 is added in an amount of 0.5 - 8% of the pesticide stock solution.
6. Use Method
6.1 Used of spray mixed in drum
  • General dosage: In general, add 5g of ZG-609 (diluted 4000 times) to every 20kg of spray. If it is necessary to promote the adsorption of systemic pesticides, enhance the function of pesticides, or further reduce the amount of spray, the usage amount can be appropriately increased. The general dosage ranges are as follows:

  • Mixing steps: First, dissolve the pesticide. Then, after 80% of the water has been uniformly mixed, add ZG-609. Finally, add water to reach 100% of the total volume and mix them uniformly. When using Agricultural Silicone Spreading and Penetrating Agent, it is advisable to reduce the water amount to 1/2 or 2/3 of the normal (suggested) amount and the average pesticide usage to 70 - 80% of the normal. Using a small - aperture nozzle can increase the spray speed.

6.2 Used of Original Pesticide
  • Dosage recommendation: When adding this product to the original pesticide, it is suggested that the amount is 0.5% - 8% of the original pesticide.

  • pH adjustment: Adjust the pH value of the pesticide prescription to 6 - 8.

  • User adjustment: The user should adjust the amount of Agricultural Silicone Spreading and Penetrating Agent according to different kinds of pesticides and prescriptions to achieve the most effective and economical results. Compatibility tests and step - wise tests should be carried out before usage.

7. Package
Available in 25L, 200L plastic drums, 1000L IBC tank or as per clients' requests.
8. Storage & Transport
  • Storage: Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. The valid period is 3 years.

  • Transport: Can be transported as non - dangerous cargoes.
