Its core ingredients include ethoxy-modified trimethoxysilane and polyether-modified heptamethyltrisiloxane, combined with 3-[methoxy poly(ethoxy)] propyl-methyl-bis(trimethylsiloxy)silane, forming a surfactant with specific performance characteristics. It enhances the penetration and spreading properties of pesticides. With a low surface tension (21.5 mN/m at 25°C), it allows the spray solution to spread more evenly on plant surfaces, contributing to better efficacy.
During pesticide application, IOTA-2000 improves the adhesion and spreading capabilities of the solution by reducing the contact angle between the droplets and the leaf surface, thus enhancing absorption efficiency. Whether used with herbicides, insecticides, or plant growth regulators, it helps improve coverage and penetration of the pesticide on plants or pests, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. This advantage comes from its polyether-modified structure, which helps reduce toxicity to crops and lowers the risk of phytotoxicity. Compared to conventional fatty amine or ethoxylated alcohol-based surfactants, it is milder and safer.
IOTA-2000 not only possesses stable physical properties but also exhibits broad chemical compatibility. It is easily soluble in solvents such as methanol, isopropanol, and acetone, and can also disperse in water, making it convenient to use. The product appears as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid, with a specific gravity of 1.020 at 25°C and a viscosity ranging from 20 to 40 cSt. Its active ingredient content is approximately 99%, which contributes to the stability and longevity of the product in various pesticide formulations.
When using IOTA-2000, no complicated procedures are required. It can be directly added to the pesticide formulation or mixed on-site as a tank-mix adjuvant. Typically, it is added at a concentration of 0.02% to 0.04% in the pesticide sprayer. For every 15 kg of pesticide solution, adding 3 to 6 grams of IOTA-2000 will help improve spray performance. In pesticide formulations, the recommended usage rate is between 0.5% and 5%, which can be adjusted based on the specific application scenario.
