XIAMETER™ OFX-5211
XIAMETERTM OFX-5211 Fluid is a low viscosity, non-ionic poly-oxyethylene-modified polydimethyl-siloxane, more commonly referred to as silicone glycol copolymer. This product has been designed with a specific silicone to glycol ratio to afford a range of performance characteristics.
| Product No. | 54005 |
| Supplier | Dow Inc. |
| CAS | 67674-67-3 |
| Synonyms | 3-(Polyoxyethylene)propylheptamethyltrisiloxane |
| Applications | Surface Care - Floor Care, Surface Care - Raised Hard Surface Care |
| Characteristics | Reduces the surface tension of aqueous agricultural mixtures significantly lower than is achievable with conventional nonionic surfactants. At concentrations as low as 0.01 percent, XIAMETERTM OFX-5211 Fluid reduces surface tension below 23 dynes/cm, which produces very rapid wetting and spreading on hard-to-wet surfaces such as waxy leaves. Complete coverage can be achieved with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals. Greatly increases the uptake of chemicals into plant tissues. Adding XIAMETERTM OFX-5211 Fluid to a herbicide tank-mix may significantly enhance its efficacy, particularly in the control of broadleaf weeds with water-soluble herbicides. The rapid uptake produces "rainfastness"; i.e., herbicides are not washed off by rainfall because they have penetrated into the plant surface. |
