Analysis of organosilicone surfactants and their degradation products
In this work the analysis of the organosilicone surfactant Silwet L-77 and components thereof is described. The commercial product Silwet L-77 was demonstrated to comprise of ∼70% M₂D-C₃-O-(EO)ₙ-CH₃ (1),* ∼5% M₂D-C₃-O- (EO)ₙ-H (2) and ∼25% polar constituents. M₂D-C₃-O-(EO)ₙ-CH₃ oligomers were …

Characterization of Organosilicone Surfactants and Their Effects on Sulfonylurea Herbicide Activity
This research focused on the characterization of organosilicone surfactants and their effects on sulfonylurea herbicide activity. The project included efficacy tests, rainfastness studies in the greenhouse, radiotracer studies on herbicide uptake, fluorescent dye studies on surface deposition, and …

Mode of action of organosilicone surfactants in enhancing the performance of Triclopyr herbicide
… of the triclopyr ester were identified; three organosilicone surfactants (Dow Corning 57, Dow Corning X25152 and Silwet L77), an N-alkyl pyrrolidone surfactant (Surfadone LP300) and an octylphenoxy surfactant (Triton X-45). The inherently difficult nature of gorse as an experimental plant was …

Surfactant Formulations to Enhance Triclopyr Amine Efficacy: Effects on Adhesion, Retention and Contact Phytotoxicity On Three Hardwood Species
… the penetration or uptake into the target. Organosilicone surfactants can reduce the surface tension of aqueous pesticides far below that which is possible with nonsilicone surfactants, resulting in efficient wetting of even the most hydrophobic leaf surfaces. Additionally, by virtue of …

Use of tartrazine dye as a tracer to measure foliar spray retention on turfgrass
… and coverage. Adding nonionic surfactants (NIS), organosilicone adjuvants (OSA) and methylated seed oils (MSO) at the median recommended concentration maintained foliar recovery rates at approximately 93% to 90% under both low and high spray volumes. Without adjuvants, increasing spray volume …
