Description
Modified trisiloxane ethoxylate wetting agent/spray adjuvant WET-608 is a fast spreading surfactant/wetting agent based on a trisiloxane ethoxylate. It lowers the surface tension of spray solutions, beyond that which is achievable with conventional adjuvants.
Type
Modified trisiloxane ethoxylate

How to use
IN AGROCHEMICAL FORMULATIONS
-WET-608 wetting gent/surfactant can be used in agrochemical formulations. Although organosilicone surfactants are subject to hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions, optimum performance is achieved by buffering the formulation to pH 6.0-8.0. Additionally, it is recommended that WET-608 spray adjuvant be used at a concentration of at least 5%, based on the total formulation.
A TANK MIX ADJUVANT
-WET-608 spray adjuvant, when used as a tank-side adjuvant may be used to improve spray coverage, improve uptake or to allow for a reduction in spray volume. WET-608 spray adjuvant is most effective as a tank-side adjuvant when spray mixtures are (1) within a pH range of 5-8, and (2) used within 24 hours of preparation.
-High spray volumes, coupled with high surfactant rates, are not required to achieve sufficient coverage with WET608 spray adjuvant. In fact, WET608 spray adjuvant has the potential to provide adequate coverage in many low volume spray applications at rates between 0.025% and 0.1%.
