LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane

Name: LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane
Brand: Nanjing Silfluo New Material Co., Ltd.
Availability: InStock

Silfluo LA-10 is a nonionic, polyether-modified trisiloxane. It functions as an agricultural silicone surfactant designed to reduce the surface tension of aqueous spray mixtures. By lowering surface tension to <21 mN/m at a concentration of 0.1 wt%, it facilitates spray coverage on hydrophobic plant foliage and promotes the rapid uptake of agrochemicals via stomatal infiltration.

Performance equivalent to Momentive Silwet L-408, Dow Xiameter OFX-0067 (DC 67)

Typical Technical Properties of LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane

The trisiloxane backbone of Silfluo LA-10 enables a reduction in the contact angle of spray droplets on waxy leaf surfaces. This physical modification expands the wetting area. Concurrently, the reduced surface tension allows the formulation to penetrate plant stomata, rendering the active ingredients rainfast shortly after application. This mechanism improves the delivery of systemic active ingredients into the plant tissue and enhances penetration into dense crop canopies.

Applications & Typical Use Rates of LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane

Silfluo LA-10 achieves peak performance at concentrations between 0.01% and 0.1%. It is recommended to initiate testing at 0.1% and subsequently reduce the concentration to the minimum effective level for the specific application.

Recommended Use Rates of LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane

Plant Growth Regulators: 0.025% - 0.05%
Herbicides: 0.025% - 0.15%
Insecticides: 0.025% - 0.1%
Fungicides: 0.015% - 0.05%
Fertilizers and Micronutrients: 0.015% - 0.1%

Processing & Formulation Guidelines of LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane

Mixing Sequence:
Fill spray tank with 80% of the required water volume.
Add agrochemicals (Pesticides, Herbicides, or Fertilizers) and agitate until fully dissolved.
Add the calculated volume of Silfluo LA-10.
Add remaining water to reach 100% volume and mix thoroughly.

Application Optimization of LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane

Water Volume: The use of Silfluo LA-10 typically allows for a reduction in total spray water volume by 30% to 50% compared to standard applications.
Nozzle Selection: Small-aperture nozzles are recommended to optimize droplet distribution and increase spray velocity for enhanced penetration.
pH Window: Maintain spray mixtures between pH 6.0 and 8.0. Apply the solution within 24 hours of preparation to prevent siloxane bond hydrolysis.

IN-CAN FORMULATION GUIDELINES of LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane

Silfluo LA-10 is compatible as a component in concentrated agrochemical formulations provided the system is buffered to pH 6.5 - 7.5. Chemical degradation (hydrolysis) occurs rapidly at pH levels

Package &Storage of LA-10 Agricultural Silicone Surfactant Polyether-Modified Trisiloxane
