BREAK-THRU® S 233 is a patented non-ionic trisiloxane surfactant. It increases the deposition of agrichemical sprays and improves the penetration of pesticide actives into plant tissue. Therefore it is specifically suited for enhancing the biological performance of systemic and semi-systemic products for herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and plant growth regulators.
Typical Applications
In contrast to other surfactants of this class, BREAK-THRU® S 233 does not show super spreading, yet, exhibits excellent wetting. However, it does dramatically reduce surface tension of spray solutions to about 22 mN/m.
BREAK-THRU® S 233 can be used in tank mix applications without any incompatibility problems. It can as well be used in formulations e.g. EC, OD, SC, SL. For formulation assistance please contact us.
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 crop protection label does not have a specific recommendation for adjuvant use, BREAK-THRU® S 233 should be applied at rates listed here. 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.
