BREAK-THRU® S 240 is a polyether trisiloxane that imparts super spreading and dramatically reduces surface tension in aqueous solutions. This significantly enhances the biological performance of crop protection products by providing superior wetting of hydrophobic surfaces, particularly on leaves and other plant parts. Additionally, it improves uptake through the penetration of cuticular waxes and facilitates stomatal flooding.

Typical Applications
BREAK-THRU® S 240 can be used in tank mix applications as well in formulations. Please inquire for details.
For tank mixtures pesticide manufacturers may suggest a rate of a non-ionic surfactant to be used with their product. Follow the corresponding label recommendation.
However, if the pesticide label does not have a specific recommendation for adjuvant use, but does not prohibit its application, BREAK-THRU® S 240 should be applied at rates listed below. Careful observation of spray performance in a trial application with the tank mixture to be sprayed is advised to determine proper and efficient rates.
