Description
Spray-Aide is an extremely acid surfactant product, composed of 70% Alkylryl polyoxyethylene glycol phosphate ester. Spray-Aide is a very unique product in that it performs many functions to improve agricultural spraying operations.
Functions:
- Compatibility Agent many insecticide, fungicide and herbicide combinations tend not to mix completely in spray tank water. Samples from many spray tanks will show small floccules of pesticide particles. Even though these floccules pass through screens in the sprayer and the spray nozzles, they do not give a good deposit on the crop thus reducing the efficiency of the pesticide application. Spray-Aide added to the tank will improve the compatibility of various pesticide combinations in water, and also in liquid fertilizers, by forming a completely homogeneous mix.
- Acidifying Agent many waters used in agricultural spray applications are high in pH. Well water coming from limestone areas usually carries a pH of at least 7.5 and in some cases as high as 9 or 9.50. River water derived from arid soils frequently carries high quantities of alkaline salts, again making the water high in pH. Many pesticides are very susceptible to alkaline hydrolysis, so it is advantageous to reduce spray water pH below a pH of 7. Spray-Aide is a very effective tool to reduce water pH.
- Tank Cleaner agricultural spraying apparatus of kind, tends to have a build-up of pesticide residues on internal tank walls, in hoses, pumps and nozzles. Continued use of Spray-Aide acts as a tank cleaner and markedly reduces pesticide residue build-up in the spray systems.
- Surfactant and Herbicide Activator Spray-Aide is an excellent surfactant compound, which reduces water surface tension, thus acting as a spreader for agricultural pesticide sprays. It is especially effective when used with contact herbicides.
