Surfeco® Pro
- CAS Number
- 67674-67-3
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
Surfeco® Pro is an organic silicone surfactant, specifically a modified trisiloxane, renowned for its exceptional spreading capabilities. As a non-ionic surfactant, it effectively reduces water surface tension, enhancing its ability to mix with pesticide solutions. When mixed in specific proportions with pesticide solutions, Surfeco® Pro reduces the contact angle between the spray and foliage, thereby increasing spray coverage. Moreover, it facilitates pesticide absorption through stomatal leaves, leading to improved efficacy. This feature allows for reduced pesticide usage, cost savings, and decreased environmental pollution associated with pesticides.
