Silwet* Adjuvants and SAG* Antifoams for Agricultural ...

1 Silwet* Adjuvants and SAG* Antifoams for Agricultural Applications 1. Momentive Performance Materials has been First: to commercialize Silicone Adjuvants for Tank-Mix applications in Agriculture (Silwet L-77* AG Spray Adjuvant). to develop & market pH-stable Silicone Adjuvants for In-Can formulations (Silwet* HS Spreaders and Penetrants). to commercialize High Performance Antifoams available globally (SAG* 1572 and SAG 1538 Silicone Antifoams ). to offer Silicone Adjuvant to Organic Farming (Silwet ECO. Spreader). Typical Applications Non-Crop Products Crop Protection Products Home & garden pesticides Herbicides Lawn & ornamental Insecticides products Fungicides Pest control products Nutrients and Plant Growth Forestry products Regulators.

2 2. Overview Silwet and AgroSpred Momentive Performance Adjuvants Materials is continuing its Momentive Performance long-standing innovation in Materials manufactures and Being first in the market, Agriculture applications with offers globally a broad product Silwet spray Adjuvants are the the recent development and line of specialty silicones to longest-standing, and most launch of the next generation be considered for Agricultural well known silicone brands silicone specialties. applications. These silicone in Agriculture. Momentive specialties marketed under the silicone Adjuvants have been The new Silwet HS. Silwet*, AgroSpred* and SAG* successfully used for years (hydrostable) Adjuvants brand names are widely used to provide superspreading employ new chemistry, making as tank mix Adjuvants , in-can and excellent spray coverage these products stable over a Adjuvants and foam control on many crops.

3 These broad pH range, specifically agents to enhance the delivery performance properties as well developed for in-can and efficacy of many pesticide as very low typical use levels formulations. products. make these silicone Adjuvants an excellent candidate to SAG Antifoams consider for use in: Momentive SAG Antifoams have demonstrated for many superior spreading leading years their ability to powerfully to better coverage, and control foam during the reduced spray volumes manufacturing process of enhanced agrochemicals pesticides and packaging efficacy as well as in tank mix spray applications. improved uptake of active The new generation of SAG.

4 Ingredients, providing a Antifoams can offer lower better rainfastness use levels, rapid defoaming and exceptional durability and stability to provide better performance in many Ag applications. 3. Momentive Adjuvants Key Features Superspreading for Rainfastness to lower exceptional spray coverage pesticide wash-off and waste of crop and plant surfaces Lower use levels than non- Up to 70% spray volume silicone surfactants reduction to lower water use and application costs pH stable for use in In-Can formulations (Silwet HS). Excellent penetration providing better pesticide Excellent compatibility and uptake and efficacy stability in Ag formulations.
