HYDRATE PLUS
is a wetting agent that reduces the surface tension of
water. It changes the molecular composition of water,
thus loosening water's natural tendency to bead. This
enables the surfactant to penetrate the task at hand.
Surface tension is a basic
characteristic of liquids. When describing the surface
tension of water, it is referred to as "dynes per
centimeter". Water has a surface tension of 72 dynes per
centimeter. HYDRATE PLUS
will disrupt the molecular bond of water, drastically
lowering the dynes/cm, thus forcing the bead of water to
break down, sheet and penetrate. The same holds true
when HYDRATE PLUS
is mixed with other liquids . . . herbicides,
fertilizers, pesticides, etc. It allows chemicals such
as herbicides and pesticides to absorb into the intended
destination quickly with minimal beading and "roll off"
with virtually no evaporation. |
For Herbicides, Insecticides and Fungicides
HYDRATE PLUS provides a tremendous
advantage to the Agricultural and Farming Industry. Applicators
face certain problems such as beading, run off and evaporation.
All of these factors mean that the chemical is not able to
effectively do it's job. Certain plants have waxy leaves thus
complicating the chemical mixtures ability to penetrate. Many
insecticides are contact killers with little or no residual so
direct exposure is a must. This product will break the bead of
tension for uniform application and quick penetration. It will
stay on plants even with the waxiest of leaves. Most pesticides
are water resistant. It allows pesticides and water to mix
thoroughly while suspending the chemical in water. No separation
means a good mix is being applied. This means your most
effective and efficient application occurs when you are using
HYDRATE PLUS.
*Please follow manufacturers recommended mix ratios when mixing
chemicals.
Non-Ionic
HYDRATE PLUS is not affected by the
chemical bond between two oppositely charged ions. In other
words, chemicals such as pesticides will not break down by
positively charged or negatively charged atoms. A positive or
negative charge can change the properties of certain chemicals,
thus your application is ineffective. This product offers a
neutral mixture that ensures you the chemicals and water are
able to work in tandem to provide a uniform application.
Non-Corrosive
This product is non-corrosive. This surfactant will not harm or
wear equipment. HYDRATE PLUS
will actually benefit spray equipment by reducing salt and
mineral deposits on spray nozzles. It will aid in the cleaning
of nozzles and spray heads every time it is used.
No
special storage is required. This means no special storage and
holding tanks are necessary. Also transport need not be a
concern because it's non-corrosive properties allow this product
to be as mobile as necessary.
Safe to use
Safe for the application and the applicator. It has a pH level
of 9 - 11.5. Any application safe for the use of water is safe
for HYDRATE PLUS.
One key factor is the safety of the applicator. No special
safety equipment is required, but safety measures should be
taken when mixed with chemicals.
The
product is designed for deciduous trees, edible crops and other
vegetation and grasses. It is a biodegradable product that is
non-toxic and earth friendly.
Designed for all Industries
Farming and Agriculture both benefit from
HYDRATE PLUS
by allowing chemicals and water to work better on crops and
trees.
Firefighters will capture fires more effectively by penetrating
the fire quickly thus extinguishing the flames. Much less smoke
and toxic gases will be experienced as a result.
Water
puddles can be dispersed to allow absorption of water on golf
fairways, walkways and roads. Ranchers will benefit when washing
and spraying livestock. When mixed with water, it will penetrate
the coarse hairs on animals for cleaning and cooling the animals
on hot days.
This
product is a superior wetting agent that serves many functions
such as a penetrant, a dispersant and a rinse aid. It is
designed for maximum effect. A little
HYDRATE PLUS
in the rinse of a car wash allows for quick sheeting of the
water to help drying time and reduce water spotting.
Super Concentrated
It is a highly concentrated surfactant that greatly reduces the
quantity of chemical needed for application. This means less
usage of HYDRATE PLUS
compared to crop oils while achieving better results.
When mixing with other products,
HYDRATE PLUS
should be the last ingredient to be added to the final solution.
