| Non-Ionic
Surfactants 90/10 |
 |
INDUCE® A proprietary blend of nonionic, low foam spray adjuvants; incorporating
the properties of a wetter/spreader surfactant when used in
pesticidal spray mixtures, and is designed to quickly wet and
spread a more uniform spray deposit over plant leaf and stem
surfaces.
| Organosilicones
(Non-Ionic Surfactants) |
 |
SILWET®
L-77 A nonionic 100% organosilicone surfactant copolymer
having "super" wetting and spreading characteristics
when used in aqueous sprays.
KINETIC® A unique nonionic organosilicone-based
wetter/spreader/penetrant spray adjuvant. It is designed to
provide rapid spreading and absorption of pesticide and nutrient
sprays into plant leaves and stems. Because of its unique abilities,
Kinetic can be used at much lower rates than conventional surfactants.
| Spreader
/ Stickers |
 |
COHERE
Film-free spreader-sticker adjuvant for fungicide and insecticide
applications whose use rates are normally half that of conventional
"film forming" stickers.
HYPER
ACTIVE A patented adjuvant designed specifically
for use with insecticides, fungicides and miticides. The spray
coverage and penetration improvements are applicable for both
plant and pest surfaces.
SURFIX® A proprietary blend of nonionic spreader-sticker
adjuvants designed to improve the application efficiency of
pesticides by modifying the contact, wetting and adhesion of
the pesticides onto plant surfaces. Surfix can be used with
a broad range of pesticides whose labels recommend the addition
of a spreader-sticker adjuvant.
Surfix P. A proprietary pinene based sticker for use
with all pesticides.
| Nonionic
/ Fertilizer Premix |
 |
PATROL®
25-0-0 A proprietary blend of N-28 liquid fertilizer
and premium nonionic surfactants. Patrol is recommended for
use with pesticides whose labels recommend this specific mixture.
Patrol is also available using 10-34-0 fertilizer as a substitute
for N-28.
| Drift
Reduction & Deposition |
 |
POINTBLANK® A unique PAM based deposition aid
and drift reduction retardant. This new technology adjuvant
decreases driftable fines while improving deposition in pesticide
spraying. PointBlank disperses easily and is effective at usage
rates half that of other drift retardents.
PENETRATOR®
PLUS A unique blend of special nonionic and anionic
surfactant and a light to midrange petroleum oil. Penetrator
Plus is designed for use with a range of pesticides recommending
a crop oil concentrate. The addition of Penetrator Plus to a
spray tank improves pesticide application by modifying the deposition
and wetting characteristics of the spray solution and adjusting
the pH of alkaline waters.
NALCO-TROL®
/ NALCO-TROL®
II Polymer based spray adjuvants designed for retarding
misting and drift, and improving deposition of spray solutions.
Both products are compatible with most water soluble and wettable
powder pesticides, desiccants and defoliants.
STA-PUT®
Effective, easy-to-use polymer-based deposition aid for increasing
deposition and retarding drift in spraying operations.
STRIKE ZONE® DF A dry concentrate formulation of
a spray drift control and deposition agent for use in ground
equipment applications. It is a unique blend on nonionic colloidal
polymers that modifies the viscosity, atomization and shear
characteristics of water-based spray applications. Unlike polyacrylamide-based
drift control and deposition agents, pesticide bioefficacy is
not reduced when using Strike Zone DC.
| Foam
Makers |
 |
ALIGN
A highly concentrated synthetic foam blend containing special
additives to give durability under a wide array of extreme application
conditions. Produces a light, highly dense foam mass. Contains
optical brighteners for added visibility. This product is not
registered for use in California.
| Buffering
Agents |
 |
BUFFER
PS A blend of buffering agents designed to adjust
the pH of alkaline waters, minimize hydrolysis of pesticides
which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer
PS will also affect the wetting and spreading characteristics
of a spray solution.
| Water
Conditioners |
 |
QUEST®
A proprietary blend of water conditioning agents and spray adjuvants
designed to make pesticide sprays more efficient. Quest removes
carbonates and bicarbonates that can deactivate pesticide, sequesters
metal cations in spray solutions and modifies the pH of spray
solutions. Quest can be used as a replacement and/or supplement
to ammonium sulfate.
| Anti-Foaming
Agents |
 |
FOAM
BUSTER A blend of foam-eliminating agents that
work physically, not chemically, to prevent or control foam
problems. Foam Buster is an excellent foam breaker, and should
be used to prevent foam formation whenever possible.
| Compatibility
Agents |
 |
BUFFER
PS A blend of buffering agents designed to adjust
the pH of alkaline waters, minimize hydrolysis of pesticides
which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer
PS will also affect the wetting and spreading characteristics
of a spray solution.
| Methylated
Seed Oil Based |
 |
Dyne-Amic®
A unique and superior nonionic spray adjuvant. Dyne-Amic
contains a proprietary blend of highly refined methylated vegetable
oils in combination with organosilicone-based surfactants. This
provides spreading and coverage comparable to nonionic surfactants
with the physical characteristics of a crop oil concentrate.
Aero
Dyne-Amic® A proprietary formulation of organosilicone
surfactants, oils, emulsifiers and buffering agents specifically
designed for use with insecticides and fungicides applied aerially.
Its addition to the spray mix improves pesticide application
by modifying the wetting, spreading, deposition and penetrating
characteristics of the applied spray mix. In addition, it acts
as a buffer and can prevent the decomposition of pesticide active
ingredients.
| Crop
Oil Concentrates |
 |
AGRI-DEX®
A proprietary blend of heavy range, paraffin-based petroleum
oil and nonionic surfactants. Considered the standard
of comparison, Agri-Dex is designed for use with a broad range

and nonionic surfactants. COC is designed for use with
a broad range of pesticides where a crop oil concentrate adjuvant
is recommended.
PENETRATOR®
A proprietary blend of high-quality, light range, paraffin-based
petroleum oil and nonionic surfactants. Penetrator is
specifically effective in improving insecticide and fungicide
spray applications, but can be used with any pesticide recommending
the use of a crop oil concentrate adjuvant.
PENETRATOR®
PLUS A unique blend of special nonionic and anionic
surfactant and a light to midrange petroleum oil. Penetrator
Plus is designed for use with a range of pesticides recommending
