Among our protec products, PROTEC PLUS combines esterified virgin canola oil with non-ionic surfactants to enhance the effectiveness of selected herbicides, insecticides and defoliants.
PROTEC PLUS is widely used with broadacre cereal herbicides where a crop oil is used with the spray, with woody weed control herbicides, and in horticulture.
Improves:
Uses:
Superior Emulsification: That is a greater amount of the oil is in suspension. This makes PROTEC PLUS more efficient because a higher percentage of oil has been emulsified.
Flash Emulsification: PROTEC PLUS does not require continuous agitation and mixes instantaneously, eliminating the oily residue on top of spray mixes.
UV Stable: PROTEC PLUS has excellent UV stability. This enables the active chemicals to be more stable and to be more available to the target. This results in a higher efficacy of the product it is used with.
Rainfast: PROTEC PLUS is rainfast; ensuring sprays are not diluted by dew or sudden rainfall. Trials show that sparys including PROTEC PLUS are rainfast within minutes. See Technote #3 in the technotes section (registration reguired).
Wetting: As PROTEC PLUS is an esterified canola oil it has excellent wetting characteristics as the non-ionic wetters have been incorporated in the formulation.
Drift Control: PROTEC PLUS reduces drift because of its longer ester molecular structure which eliminates fine droplets, ensuring more spray reaches the target for higher efficacy.
Reduces Odour: When PROTEC PLUS is added to your spray chemicals it decreases the odour and volatilisation. It does this by encapsulating the spray chemical.
Droplet Deposition: PROTEC PLUS enables production of more evenly sized droplets, increasing the droplet deposition, thus ensuring a uniform coverage of the target.
Non-Phytotoxic: As PROTEC PLUS is a natural product, it is less phytotoxic than mineral oils, therefore making it safer to spray on a wider range of crops.
