Antifoam For Pesticide
Apr 20, 2023
Foam is often used as a delivery system for pesticides, but it can be dangerous if not used properly. Foam can trap and concentrate the pesticide in one area, leading to an increased risk of exposure to humans and animals. It can also cause damage to plants and other organisms if not applied correctly. Additionally, foam can be difficult to remove from surfaces and may leave behind residues that could potentially be harmful.
Good advantage of antifoam and defoamers for pesticide:
1. Antifoam can reduce the surface tension of the pesticide, which helps it spread more evenly and penetrate deeper into plant tissues. This increases the effectiveness of the pesticide and reduces the amount needed to achieve desired results. 2. Antifoam can help prevent foam formation in pesticide formulations, which can interfere with proper application and increase drift potential. 3. Antifoam can also reduce evaporation of volatile components from pesticide formulations, thus increasing their shelf life and effectiveness over time.
Generally, the silicone type defoamer is used in pesticide process. And the RK-8KD is the typical silicone antifoam for pesticide process which is excellent instant defoaming ability and long - term antifoaming effect and alkali and acid resistance.
