Description: De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant is a specialized product designed to tackle the issue of excessive foam during the mixing and application of agricultural chemicals. Foam can be a significant problem in spray tanks, as it can lead to inaccurate measurements of chemicals, reduced effectiveness of the application, and potential spills. De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant is formulated to prevent and reduce the formation of foam, ensuring a smoother and more efficient spraying process. What is De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant? De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant is a silicone-based additive that is used in spraying tanks mixed with pesticides, herbicides, and other agricultural chemicals. Its primary function is to inhibit the formation of foam or to knock down existing foam that can occur during the mixing and application process. How De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant Works The active ingredient in De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant, typically dimethylpolysiloxane, works by penetrating the walls of foam bubbles, causing them to collapse. This action reduces the surface tension of the liquid in the spray tank, which prevents foam from forming and helps to eliminate any existing foam. How to Use De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant To use De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant effectively: Add water and at least one component of the tank mix to your sprayer. Introduce De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant to the tank at the recommended use rate. Continue to add the rest of the tank mix components while agitating the solution. If foam develops during the mixing process, add more De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant until the foam dissipates. Where to Apply De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant is applied directly to the spray tank during the mixing of agricultural chemicals. It is suitable for use in any tank where foaming is an issue, including those used for: Pesticide applications Herbicide treatments Fungicide sprays How Much to Apply The amount of De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant to apply can vary depending on the severity of the foaming problem: For most applications, use 1/2 to 1 ounce per 100 gallons of spray solution. If heavy foaming is anticipated or observed, use up to 2 ounces per 100 gallons of spray solution. Adjust the dosage as needed based on the effectiveness of the foam control. Safety Precautions When using De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant, consider the following safety precautions: Always read and follow the label instructions for the specific product you are using. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection. Ensure that the product is used in well-ventilated areas. Keep the product out of reach of children and pets. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. De-Foamer Spray Adjuvant is an essential tool for anyone involved in agricultural spraying. Its ability to control and eliminate foam can save time, prevent chemical waste, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the spraying process. By following the guidelines for use and safety, users can ensure a more efficient and trouble-free application of their agricultural chemicals.
