Non Ionic Surfactant – Agricultural Spreader, Sticker & Wetting Agent

Product Code: RXSOL-81-8689-210 Product Name: Non Ionic Surfactant Product Type: Biodegradable Non-Ionic Surfactant Blend Application: Agricultural Spray Adjuvant, Spreader, Sticker, Wetting Agent and Soil Penetrant Packing: 210 Litre Industrial Drum (confirm net fill and packaging specification)

Product Description

RXSOL-81-8689-210 is a specially formulated, biodegradable non-ionic surfactant blend developed to improve the spreading, wetting, adhesion and penetration properties of agricultural chemicals, fertilizers and plant nutrient solutions.

The product reduces the surface tension of water, allowing spray droplets to spread uniformly over plant leaves, stems and other treated surfaces instead of forming beads and running off.

RXSOL Non Ionic Surfactant is particularly useful as an agricultural spray adjuvant in combination with compatible insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, foliar fertilizers and micronutrient solutions.

Its wetting and spreading properties can improve contact between applied chemicals and treated surfaces, helping achieve more uniform spray coverage and reducing unnecessary chemical runoff.

Application

Recommended Applications

A. Agricultural Spray Spreader

RXSOL Non Ionic Surfactant helps improve the distribution of spray droplets across leaf surfaces.

It can be evaluated for use with:

  • Insecticides

  • Fungicides

  • Herbicides

  • Foliar fertilizers

  • Micronutrient sprays

  • Plant nutrient solutions

B. Spreader and Sticker for Foliar Sprays

The product improves surface wetting and may help reduce runoff from treated foliage.

This can be useful when spraying crops with waxy or water-repellent leaf surfaces.

C. Soil Wetting and Penetration

The non-ionic surfactant reduces the surface tension of irrigation water, promoting more uniform wetting of water-repellent soils.

Potential applications include horticulture, agricultural irrigation and soil conditioning.

D. Drip Irrigation Systems

RXSOL Non Ionic Surfactant may be used in appropriately tested drip irrigation programs to improve wetting and distribution of irrigation solutions.

Compatibility with fertilizers, irrigation equipment and crop conditions must be confirmed.

E. Industrial Wetting Applications

Subject to application testing, the surfactant may also be evaluated as a wetting agent in industrial cleaning and water-based chemical formulations.

Precautions & Remarks

 Key Features and Benefits

  • Excellent Wetting Action: Reduces surface tension and improves contact between spray solution and leaf surfaces.

  • Uniform Spreading: Helps distribute agrochemicals evenly across waxy and irregular plant surfaces.

  • Improved Adhesion: Reduces droplet beading and helps retain spray solution on foliage.

  • Enhanced Penetration: Promotes wetting of treated plant surfaces and soil.

  • Non-Ionic Character: Offers broad compatibility potential with agricultural formulations.

  • Biodegradable Surfactant System: Designed using biodegradable surfactant chemistry, subject to confirmation by standard biodegradation testing.

  • Improved Spray Efficiency: May reduce spray losses and improve treatment uniformity.

  • Multiple Applications: Suitable for evaluation in foliar spraying, drip irrigation and soil wetting applications.

Method of Application

  1. Fill the spray tank with approximately 50–70% of the required clean water.

  2. Start gentle agitation.

  3. Add the recommended agricultural chemical according to its label mixing instructions.

  4. Add the measured quantity of RXSOL Non Ionic Surfactant where permitted.

  5. Top up with the remaining water.

  6. Mix until the solution is uniform.

  7. Apply using suitable calibrated spraying equipment.

Conduct a small-scale jar compatibility test before preparing large batches. For sensitive crops, perform a small-area phytotoxicity test.

Compatibility

RXSOL Non Ionic Surfactant may be compatible with many water-based agricultural formulations, including selected insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and fertilizers.

However, non-ionic chemistry alone does not guarantee compatibility.

Compatibility depends on pesticide formulation, spray water quality, pH, surfactant concentration and application conditions. Avoid assuming compatibility with all agrochemicals.

Storage and Handling

Store in tightly closed original containers in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.

Avoid excessive heating, freezing and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Keep containers properly labelled and prevent contamination during handling.

Use chemical-resistant gloves, protective eyewear and suitable protective clothing. Refer to the approved Safety Data Sheet for detailed safety instructions.
