This Spray Adjuvant (@ 0.1 wt %) gives an aqueous surface tension of <24 mN/m. On the other hand, an octylphenolethoxylate containing 10 EO units (a commonly used nonionic surfactant) at 1.0 wt % gives a surface tension of only 30 mN/m. This spray adjuvant helps lower the aqueous surface tension more effectively than conventional spray adjuvants. Because TIS-394 spray adjuvant is a super-spreading surfactant, the contact angle of spray solutions on leaf surfaces is reduced, leading to an increase in spray coverage. Additionally, under specific conditions, this spray adjuvant promotes rapid uptake of agrochemicals into plants via stomatal infiltration. Spray solutions taken into plants in this way become rain fast, thereby improving application reliability. Unlike other trisiloxanealkoxylates, which are negatively affected by oil based components (i.e. EC formulations, spray oils, etc.), This spray adjuvant provides enhanced spreading in many of these types of formulations relative to competitive organosilicone based adjuvants .
