Reactor Wetter 600 Surfactant

Tips For Use

Horticultural Sprays:

• Add Reactor Wetter 600 at 10mL per 100L of spray (2mL per 15L knapsack).
• Reactor Wetter 600 is recommended for addition to all horticultural sprays except those known to include adequate wetting agent in the formulation. Increased activity will be obtained by increasing the rate for waxy leafed plants which are normally hard to wet.
• It is important to spray only to the point of wetness. Excessive use of wetting agents can cause run off of active ingredient with consequent loss of efficiency.

Weed Killing Sprays:

• Reactor Wetter 600 should be added to all post-emergence herbicide sprays to increase their efficiency except those which are known to contain adequate wetting agent in the formulation.
• Wetter should be added only where directed on individual labels as use with selective herbicides outside label directions may reduce crop selectively.
• For foliar active herbicides spray to the point where leaves and stems are just wet. Spraying beyond this will encourage run-off, with obvious loss of spray chemicals.
• When spraying waxy or hairy leafed plants which are normally hard to wet, increased activity will be obtained by increasing the rate of Reactor Wetter 600.
• It is important that the leaves and stems are thoroughly wetted for foliar herbicides to work efficiently, particularly when treating dense, tall vegetation
  • High Volume Power Spray: 12mL/100L
  • Low Volume Boom Spray: 60mL/100L
  • Misting Machines: 5mL/5L
  • Knapsack: 2mL/15L

Paraquat and Diquat (eg: Reglone, Gramoxone & Spray Seed)

• For the maximum efficiency of these contact herbicides a higher rate of Reactor Wetter 600 must be used to ensure even and thorough coverage of plant foliage and to increase absorption.
• This is particularly important for killing grasses and tall, dense vegetation.
  • High Volume Power Spray: 200mL/100L of spray
  • Boom Spray: 200mL/100L of spray
  • Knapsack: 30mL/15L of spray

Soil Residual Herbicides:

• When applying soil active herbicides such as Diuron or Atrazine to standing weeds, add Reactor 600 to thoroughly wet foliage.
• Rates will range from 125mL – 500mL/100L depending on product used.
• Consult product labels for individual recommendations and restrictions.

Fire Fighting:
Reactor Wetter 600 is an efficient aid to fire fighting. It increases the wetting power of water which assists in quick control and mopping up of fires.

• Water Tanker: 10mL/100L of water
• Knapsack: 2mL/15L of water

• Reactor Wetter 600 can  be used with alkaline sprays and mixes easily with all types of water.
• It will not injure the tenderest foliage if used as directed.
• Spray only to the point where leaves are just wet.
• Spraying beyond this will encourage run-off, with obvious loss of spray chemicals.

Mixing:

• Reactor Wetter 600 mixes easily and quickly with water and should be added directly to the spray tank.
• It should not be added directly to undiluted sprays containing wetting agents.
