Questions and answers from customers

    If using a chemical like Consume Penetrant, would there be any benefit or times when Reactor Wetter 600 Surfactant would be preferred to using some like this, which is also a surfactant?

    Asked by Kevin on June 28, 2024 3:41 pm
    Answered by the admin

    Organosilicone penetrants such as Consume Penetrant are incredibly effective at reducing surface tension, more so than any other common type of adjuvant. They have excellent spreading capabilities and can also increase the rain fastness of your chosen herbicide. As a result, they are the most effective option when attempting to address plants that have proven to be difficult to eradicate or are exhibiting signs of herbicide resistance. Penetrants are ideal for tackling weeds in challenging hot, dry, or excessively wet conditions. Non-ionic surfactants such as Reactor Wetter 600 reduce surface tension, allowing herbicides to coat the plant’s surfaces more effectively. It is generally stated that using an organosilicone penetrant (i.e. Consume) will guarantee the best results.

    We strongly recommend adding a wetting agent, adjuvant, surfactant or penetrant to woody weed herbicides such as Grazon Extra. We suggest a penetrant made from Polysiloxane (i.e., Consume, Reactor or Eurochem Penatrant) to guarantee the best kill. They are premium wetting agents, spreading agents, penetrating surfactants & anti-evaporants all in one. They are recommended in spray mixes for hard-to-kill, noxious & woody weeds. Polysiloxane penetrants provide the best kill on weeds with hard to wet, waxy or hairy leaves/foliage & in challenging hot, dry or wet application conditions.
