Use Information

Before using this product, read all precautions, “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” and “WARRANTY—CONDITIONS OF SALE”.

SIL-MES 100 is a proprietary blend of organosilicone, non-ionic surfactants, highly refined and modified spray oil. It is especially effective in post-emergent, non-selective herbicide sprays and with those pesticides or products whose labels recommend the addition of a spray adjuvant to improve coverage.

This product, added to a spray tank solution, improves the spray application by physically modifying the deposition and wetting characteristics of the spray solution, resulting in a more uniform spray deposit.
