Organic silicon as a main component of thesurfactant has been widely used in skin care, hair care, cosmetics andanti-perspirants, deodorants, pesticides and additives, such as specialsupplements.
In agriculture, organic siliconagricultural aid in line with the core requirements of agricultural aid, Comparedto other conventional surfactants it is advantageous in many respects, Canimprove the efficacy of pesticides, reducing the impact of pesticides on theenvironment, reducing pesticide spraying, including water, the overall cost oflabor, low consumption, low toxicity, environmentally friendly.
Initially, the silicone additive is mainlyused for agricultural tank-mixed with the further understanding of the productfeatures, but also to market demand, engineers gradually formulation for use inpesticide formulations. For example, as wetting spreading agents, wettingpenetrant, synergist oil phase and defoamers, choose the appropriate siliconeadditive can improve the inadequate agricultural pesticide formulations.
Silicone materials have many uniqueproperties, Such as low surface tension, viscosity-temperature coefficient,high compression, high gas permeability, high temperature resistance,electrical insulation, resistance to oxidation stability, weather resistance,flame retardant, water-repellent, corrosion, non-toxic, odorless andphysiologically inert and so on, these properties make it excellent in variousfields has been widely used.
Silicone application in agriculture aremainly agricultural products silicone surfactants and foam control agents.
Agricultural Silicone surfactants include:spray pesticide formulation aids and additives, which is the largestapplication of silicone spray additives, The main component is apolyether-modified trisiloxane compound, widely used insecticides, fungicides,herbicides, fertilizer, plant growth regulators and biopesticides. Such aid hasa very strong show of resistance, rain erosion, can greatly reduce the surfacetension of the liquid, and rapidly absorbed through the pores, it can reducethe use of pesticides dosage, increase the effective utilization of pesticidesand reduce pesticide pollution to the environment.
