Maximized Agrochemical Performance

Silicone Adjuvant

Agriculture Silicone AdjuvantAgriculture Silicone Adjuvant & Super Spreading Agent

Silicone Adjuvant is a premium agricultural surfactant engineered to boost the performance of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and foliar fertilizers. With superior spreading, wetting, and penetrating abilities, it ensures faster absorption, wider coverage, and higher effectiveness in crop protection. By reducing spray drift and improving adhesion, Silicone Adjuvant helps farmers achieve better results with less input—driving efficiency, sustainability, and yield growth.

Product Types

  • Silicone Super Spreader: Delivers ultra-low surface tension for maximum leaf coverage.
  • Silicone Wetting Agent: Ensures even spray distribution on waxy or hard-to-wet surfaces.
  • Silicone Penetrating Agent: Enhances absorption of active ingredients into plant tissues.
  • Silicone Emulsion Concentrate: Easy to mix, highly stable, and compatible with various formulations.

Key Features

  • Super Spreading: Expands the coverage area of a single droplet by up to 10x compared to water. This allows for lower water volume usage, crucial for aerial spraying.
  • Superior Rainfastness: Acts as a powerful rainfastness adjuvant for herbicides and fungicides. It accelerates the uptake of systemic chemicals into the plant stomata within minutes, preventing wash-off from unexpected rainfall.
  • Cost-Efficiency: Highly concentrated formula. Effective at very low dosage rates (0.025% – 0.1%), making it a cost-effective choice for bulk silicone adjuvant users.
  • pH Stability: Our specialized pH stable silicone surfactant range remains effective in spray solutions ranging from pH 4 to pH 8, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of agrochemicals.

Applications

1. Drone & Aerial Spraying (UAV Application)

In the era of precision agriculture, drone spraying silicone adjuvants are essential. Traditional surfactants struggle with the ultra-low volume (ULV) tanks used in drones. NexaG adjuvants function as an anti-drift agent for aerial spraying, ensuring the liquid adheres to the target without drifting, maximizing the efficiency of limited tank capacities.

2. Tank Mix Adjuvant

NexaG is designed as a versatile silicone adjuvant for tank mix. It is compatible with most insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and foliar fertilizers. It eliminates the “beading” effect on waxy crops (like cabbage, citrus, or rice), ensuring the chemical creates a uniform film rather than rolling off.

Sustainable Solutions

Agriculture Silicone Adjuvant under Wetrix delivers advanced adjuvant solutions designed to maximize the efficacy of your agrochemicals. Our proprietary formula is based on modified trisiloxane ethoxylate, functioning as a powerful super spreading agent for agriculture.

Unlike conventional surfactants, NexaG adjuvants reduce the surface tension of spray solutions to < 21 mN/m, allowing pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides to spread instantly across hydrophobic leaf surfaces—even at low water volumes.

Wetrix 238 is a nonionic silicone surfactant lowers the surface tension of spray solutions well below commonly used surfactants, lower surface tension will result in more effective wetting and more uniform coverage on foliar surfaces, often times allowing for a reduction in water requirements.

Wetrix 238 is useful in the application of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, microbial products, fertilizers, and plant growth regulators in horticultural and arable crops.

Wetrix 272 is non-ionic surfactant based on trisiloxane ethoxylate, as surfactant it lowers the surface tension of spray solutions and commonly used as adjuvant.

Wetrix 272 enhances the effectiveness of agrochemicals like fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, resulting in improved control of weeds, pests, and diseases.

1572neo silicone antifoam emulsion is a high performance foam control agent,  provides excellent initial foam control as well as the ability to maintain foam control properties over longer periods compared to other silicone antifoams.

– Lower dosage than conventional silicone antifoams.

– Evenly dispersed in water-based agricultural formulations and surfactant concentrates, yielding mixtures with excellent storage stability.

– Provides excellent foam control in a wide pH range, over a long period.

– Very effective in many agricultural applications, as foam control agent for pesticides, during production, packaging and spray tank operations.
