Organosilicone compounds have been found to be very useful in agriculture as agricultural adjuvants due to their unique wetting properties. These surfactants have a lower surface tension value than traditional nonionic surfactants and can efficiently absorb agricultural chemicals into plants.

The spreading of aqueous solutions due to the organo silicone polymer gives total wetting as measured by low contact angle on leaf surfaces while conventional surfactants provide for less spreading as indicated by higher contact angles. In addition, organosilicon compounds have been proven to accelerate the rate and amount of uptake of agricultural active ingredients into plants, thereby enhancing the efficacy of agricultural active ingredients, including rain resistance in some cases.

SiSiB Silicone Adjuvants have been successfully used for years to provide super spreading and excellent spray coverage on many crops. It can lower the surface tension of spray solutions. After the mixture with the pesticide solution at the certain proportion, it can lower the contact angel between the spray and foliage, which can enlarge the coverage of the spray.

Furthermore, SiSiB Agricultural Silicone Spreading and Penetrating Agent can make the pesticide absorbed through the stomatal of leaves, which is extremely effective for improving efficacy, reducing amount of pesticide, saving cost, reducing environmental pollution caused by pesticides.
