Silicone Surfactant PASS-LF as Low Foaming Super Spreader
PASS-LF is a nonionic low foaming super spreading adjuvant for foliar-applied agrochemicals, including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and plant growth regulators, designed to improve spray coverage, reduce surface tension, and enhance uptake efficiency in agriculture
- CAS No.
- 134180-76-0
PASS-LF is a low foaming super spreading agent for foliar-applied agrochemicals, including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers and micronutrients.
As a nonionic surfactant based on polyether modified trisiloxane, PASS-LF performs much better than conventional spray adjuvants in lowering aqueous surface tension and reducing contact angle of spray solutions on leaf surfaces.
PASS-LF into the market in Year 2015 after two years reseach, because it is less foam than PASS, more and more customers accept PASS-LF, the sales is increasing these years.
Outstanding Merits
- Low surface tension leads to enlarging droplet coverage
- To improve the uptake of spraying solutions by stomatal absorption thus enhance the efficacy and rainfastness
- To save the use of water and agrochemicals
- Low foam property makes it easier to handle than general silicone surfactant
