Features

BREAK-THRU® S 240  is a non-ionic surfactant and belongs to the chemical class of organ modified trisiloxanes. These are the only agricultural adjuvants that can produce a phenomenon known as “super spreading” i.e., the rapid coverage of hydrophobic surfaces such as leaves at concentrations of 0.1 % or less. Aqueous solutions containing BREAK-THRU® S 240 have zero contact angle in contrast to water treated with conventional surfactants such as nonylphenol ethoxylates.

Super spreading is a consequence of lowering surface tension dramatically i.e. below 25 mN/m. Hence, agricultural sprays containing BREAKTHRU®S 240 can deliver crop protection products and foliar fertilizer more effectively

Benefits

BREAK-THRU® S 240 allows a larger amount of active ingredient to enter the plant → the active works even under difficult conditions,

BREAK-THRU® S 240 provides rain fastness to agricultural sprays → rain an hour after application can be tolerated with no need for re-spray,

BREAK-THRU® S 240 permits the reduction of spray volumes by up to 30 % → Saving time, money, and environmental resources.

Arable and Vegetable crops: Pesticides with systemic action: 200 ml/ha to improve wetting, spreading and uptake.
Pesticides with contact action: 125 ml/ha to improve wetting and spreading.
Fruit and Nursery stock: Depending on the growth stage 200 – 300 ml/ha.
