BREAK-THRU® S 200 is a polyether trisiloxane that exhibits excellent spreading properties and significantly reduces surface tension in aqueous solutions. As a result, the biological performance of crop protection products can be greatly enhanced. This enhancement occurs through superior wetting of hydrophobic surfaces, particularly on leaves and other plant parts. Additionally, it facilitates better uptake by penetrating cuticular waxes, leading to stomatal flooding.
Typical Applications
BREAK-THRU® S 200 can be used in tank mix applications as well in formulations e.g. EC, SC, SL.
In combination with BREAK-THRU® EM V 20, it provides excellent emulsification, especially EC formulations based on Solvesso™ aromatic fluids.
For tank-mixtures, pesticides 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 200 should be applied at rates listed here.
Further experimental work may be required to identify the specific dose rate of BREAK-THRU® S 200 when it is incorporated into a formulation with a crop protection product. Careful observation of spray performance in a trial application with the tank mixture to be sprayed is advised to determine proper and efficient surfactant rates.
