What is agral?

What is agral?

Agral is a high quality concentrated non-ionic general purpose surfactant. Agral reduces surface tension of the spray solution and improves wetting and spreading on waxy leaf surfaces. At high rates it can also aid in the uptake of systemic chemicals such as glyphosate. Active: 600 g/L nonyl phenol ehtylene oxcide.

What is agral 90 used for?

Agral 90® A versatile, non-ionic surfactant that improves uptake of a wide spectrum of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Proven performance and reliability have made Agral 90 the preferred choice of growers.

Is BS1000 a non-ionic surfactant?

Wetout® – A new generation 100% Non-ionic surfactant For decades BS1000 has been the leading non-ionic surfactant standard across Australia and New Zealand. Wetout® is a unique proprietary formulation of vegetable based surfactants that improves efficacy in every aspect while reducing unwanted negatives such as drift.

Are adjuvants a type of surfactant?

Surfactants (surface active agents) are a type of adjuvant designed to improve the dispersing/emulsifying, absorbing, spreading, sticking and/or pest- penetrating properties of the spray mixture. Adjuvants, specifically surfactants, generally improve the effectiveness of postemergence herbicides.

What does non ionic surfactant mean?

Non-ionic surfactants are surfactants that have polar head groups that are not electrically charged (see Fig. 20.18). They usually rely on a functional group able to deprotonate but only to a very low degree.

What is BS1000?

BS1000 – THE BETTER WETTER. Bio-degradable wetting and spreading agent. A spray activator for use with knockdown and residual herbicides. Non-flammable, low toxicity. BS 1000 is available in 110 L and 1000 L returnable containers.

What is herbicide adjuvants?

An adjuvant is any substance in a herbicide formulation or added to the spray tank to improve herbicidal activity or application characteristics. widen the range of conditions under which a given herbicide formulation is useful.

What do spray adjuvants do?

An adjuvant is a substance that is added to a pesticide product or pesticide spray mixture to enhance the pesticide’s performance and/ or the physical properties of the spray mixture.

What is an example of non-ionic surfactant?

Major types of nonionic surfactants include fatty alcohol ethoxylate, alkyl phenol ethoxylate and fatty acid alkoxylate. Some of the most common nonionic surfactants used in flotation deinking are EO/PO copolymers, in which the hydrophilic part is EO (ethylene oxide) and the hydrophobic part is PO (propylene oxide).

What is the difference between ionic and nonionic surfactants?

Ionic surfactants are the surface active agents containing cations or anions as in their formulations whereas nonionic surfactants are the surface active agents that have no net electrical charge in their formulations. Therefore, the key difference between ionic and nonionic surfactants is in their formulation.

What are types of surfactants?

Types of Surfactants

• Anionic Surfactants. Anionic surfactants have a negative charge on their hydrophilic end.
• Nonionic Surfactants. Nonionic surfactants are neutral, they do not have any charge on their hydrophilic end.
• Cationic Surfactants.
• Amphoteric Surfactants.
