Omex - Model SW7 - Silicone-Based Adjuvant - Brochure

Function of SW7 SW7 is a silicon based wetter designed to give enhanced coverage and consequent uptake of foliar nutrients. The silicon-oxygen bonds are hydrophobic and the organic clusters are hydrophilic, creating a superior wetting agent, which spreads quickly to cover a large surface areagreater than conventional surfactants. At higher application rates, microscopic examination reveals a high degree of stomatal flooding often occurs, which can extend into intercellular spaces.
