Silway 240
spray adjuvant
Silway 240 is a non-ionic surfactant and belongs to the chemical class of organomodified 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 Silway 240 have zero contact angle - in contrast to water treated with conventional surfactants such as nonylphenol ethoxylates.

Benefits
The outstanding physical chemical properties of Silway 240 result in unique modes of action which in turn provide benefits to the farmer because:
·Silway 240 allows a larger amount of active ingredient to enter the plant → the active works even under difficult conditions
·Silway 240 provides rainfastness to agricultural sprays → rain an hour afer application can be tolerated with no need for re-spray ·Silway 240 permits the reduction of spray volumes by up to 30% → saving time, money, and environmental resources
