Wetting Agents
Naturama™ Wetting Agents are a liquid, hydrolytically stable dispersant formulation designed for use in agricultural and industrial water feed systems. They are effective over a wide range of waters in reducing surface tension, effectively promoting ideal ratios of air soil and water content with hydrophobic soil or mineral conditions. The formulations increase the efficiency of water supplied for irrigation, dust suppression or construction.
In addition, wetting agents, when used topically in agriculture processes, can improve the efficacy of crop protectants and/or plant growth regulators. Naturama™ Wetting Agent formulations are believed to exert plant growth benefits by improving root permeability and act as synergists with plant hormones, accelerating growth stimulating effects. In parallel, similar agents have also been shown to be effective for controlling/eliminating problematic zoosporicplant pathogens.
Naturama™ Wetting Agents are well suited for treating water application processes for:
Increased spray coverage/placement is desired
Hydrophobic soils, sands, surfaces or minerals are present that requiring faster wetting and or water penetration.
Improved agricultural water use efficiency and consumption reduction is desired.
Where fugitive dust reduction is targeted
