Replacement Product for Dow Corning® Q2-5211 Superwetting Agent with Excellent Properties

Product Name: Superwetting Agent

Item No.: SilibaseAG-5211

Low viscosity silicone polyether liquid

Analogue for Dow Corning® Q2-5211 Superwetting Agent with Good defoaming.SilibaseAG-5211 is an efficient spreading leveling agent, an environmentally friendly dispersion spreading leveling agent prepared by a special process; Widely used in industries such as ink, coatings, and leather.

SilibaseAG-5211 is a low molecular weight nonionic silicone polyether surfactant, developed to improve the wetting, spreading and penetration of agricul tural chemicals. It may be used as a formulation ingredient in pesticide products, or as a tank-mix adjuvant for foliar applied chemicals. It is “exempt from tolerances” under 40 CFR 180.1001(c).

SilibaseAG-5211 Superwetting Agent reduces the surface tension of aqueous agricultural mixtures signif icantly lower than is achievable with conventional nonionic surfactants. At concentrations as low as 0.01 percent, SilibaseAG-5211 Superwetting Agent reduces surface tension below 23 dynes/cm (see Table I), which produces very rapid wetting and spreading on hard-to-wet surfaces such as waxy leaves. Thus, complete coverage can be achieved with herbi cides, insecticides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals.

In addition to the rapid wetting and spreading, SilibaseAG-5211 Superwetting Agent also greatly increases the uptake of chemicals into plant tissues. Adding SilibaseAG-5211 Superwetting Agent to a herbicide tank-mix may significantly enhance its efficacy, particularly in the control of broadleaf weeds with water soluble herbicides. The rapid uptake produces “rainfastness”; i.e., herbicides are not washed off by rainfall because they have penetrated into the plant surface.

Chinese factory produce an efficient spreading leveling agent Similar to Dow Corning® Q2-5211.

SilibaseAG-5211 spreading leveling agent is suitable for various inks such as water-based gloss inks, printing inks, water-based wood coatings, and the leather industry;

To enhance the performance of agricultural chemicals, especially water-soluble broadleaf herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and plant growth regulators.

The specific dosage depends on the type of formula: it is recommended to add 0.1% -1.0%, or depending on the required performance; It can be directly diluted with water or added to the system in proportion, The performance of SilibaseAG-5211 may vary depending on the system and formula; But after adding, it must be thoroughly stirred before use.

Substitute for Dow Corning® Q2-5211 Superwetting Agent.

1) SilibaseAG-5211 should be stirred evenly during use, and moisture-proof measures should be taken during storage;

2) SilibaseAG-5211 is not resistant to hydrolysis and is prone to hydrolysis under acidic or alkaline conditions;

3) SilibaseAG-5211 is an efficient spreading and leveling agent. It is recommended to avoid exposing the product itself, its diluent, or complex solution directly to the air for a long time. It is recommended to mix and use immediately;

The product can be stored for 12 months under normal temperature. Avoid long-term exposure to extreme cold and hot environment, which may lead to lotion layering and oil bleaching; To ensure product quality, the container should be used up as soon as possible after opening, and the container lid should be tightly closed when not in use.
