MCPL surfactant series are typically used in formulations as dispersants, wetting agents, emulsifiers and agricultural spray adjuvants. Dispersants facilitate the dispersion and suspension of active particles of dry and liquid flowables in the formulation and the application tank. Wetting agents lower the surface tension of aqueous solutions and can improve the degree of surface coverage and penetration of the pesticide. Emulsifiers form stable mixtures of an oil or solvent solutions in water, enabling an easy-to-apply tank mix. Adjuvants can improve foliar retention and penetration or adjust the tank mix properties to improve the overall efficacy of the pesticide.
