Overview
Silicone Agricultural Adjuvant GS-806 is a high-efficiency non-ionic organosilicone surfactant based on trisiloxane chemistry. It is specifically designed to enhance the performance of agrochemical sprays by significantly reducing surface tension, providing superior wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces. Its unique structure allows it to overcome the natural hydrophobic barriers of leaves (cuticle and trichomes), ensuring maximum contact and uptake of active ingredients.

Key Performance Features

• Super wetting and spreading: Dramatically reduces spray droplet contact angle, providing near-zero surface tension for complete leaf coverage.

• Enhanced penetration: Facilitates rapid absorption of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides into plant tissues through stomata and cuticular pathways.

• Improved rainfastness: Helps sprayed deposits resist wash-off by rainfall shortly after application.

• Spray volume reduction: Allows lower water volumes per hectare while maintaining efficacy, saving time and labor.

• Low temperature performance: Suitable for application in cooler conditions due to low pour point.

• Low foaming: Minimizes foam generation during tank mixing and spraying operations.

• Non-ionic: Compatible with a wide range of agrochemical active ingredients and formulation types.

Applications

• Used as a tank-mix adjuvant with herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators, and foliar fertilizers.

• Suitable for application on a variety of crops, including cereals, fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamentals.

• Recommended for use in both conventional and low-volume (ULV) spraying techniques.

Recommended Use
Typical application rates: 0.02% to 0.1% (v/v) of the spray volume, depending on crop, target pest, and water quality. Always follow local product label recommendations and conduct compatibility tests before full-scale use.

Handling and Storage

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

• Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination and moisture ingress.

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective clothing) when handling.

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.

Packaging
Available in 1 L, 5 L, 20 L, and 200 L containers, or custom packaging upon request.

Quality Assurance
Each batch is tested for surface tension reduction, foaming properties, and compatibility with standard agrochemical formulations to ensure consistent performance.
