Description

Wetter 600 Surfactant – Non-Ionic Spray Adjuvant for Turf & Lawn Applications

Wetter 600 is a premium non-ionic surfactant and spray adjuvant formulated to improve the wetting, spreading, and coverage of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and foliar fertilisers.

When spray droplets land on a leaf, they can naturally bead up and remain concentrated in small areas, particularly on waxy, water-repellent or difficult-to-wet foliage. Wetter 600 reduces the surface tension of the spray solution, helping droplets spread more evenly across the leaf surface.

The result is more uniform spray coverage, improved spray retention, and better contact between the applied product and its target.

For professional turf managers, landscapers and serious lawn enthusiasts, Wetter 600 is a valuable addition to spray programs where consistent leaf coverage is important.

How Does Wetter 600 Work?

Wetter 600 contains 600 g/L Nonyl Phenol Ethylene Oxide Condensate, a non-ionic surfactant designed to modify the physical properties of the spray solution.

By reducing surface tension, Wetter 600 helps spray droplets:

• Spread across leaf surfaces
• Improve contact with the target plant
• Cover a greater area of foliage
• Reduce excessive beading of spray droplets
• Improve spray retention on the leaf
• Provide more consistent coverage across the treated area

This is particularly useful when spraying dense turf canopies, waxy foliage and plants that are naturally difficult to wet.

Wetter 600 for Herbicides, Fungicides & Foliar Fertilisers

Adding the appropriate surfactant to a spray program can help maximise the performance of many foliar-applied turf and plant protection products.

Herbicide Applications

Wetter 600 can improve the spreading and coverage of herbicide spray droplets across weed foliage, helping provide more consistent contact with the target plant.

This can be particularly useful when treating broadleaf weeds and other difficult-to-wet foliage.

Fungicide Applications

Uniform spray coverage is important when applying fungicides to turf and plants. Wetter 600 helps distribute spray droplets more evenly across foliage, supporting more consistent coverage of the treated surface.

Insecticide Applications

When applying insecticides to foliage, improved wetting and spreading can help the spray solution make more consistent contact with the target area.

Foliar Fertiliser Applications

Wetter 600 can also be incorporated into suitable foliar fertiliser programs, helping liquid nutrient sprays spread more evenly across leaf surfaces.

Always check the label of the primary product being applied to confirm that the addition of a surfactant is recommended and compatible.

Wetter 600 vs Penetrant

While both products are spray adjuvants, Wetter 600 and a penetrant perform different primary functions.

Wetter 600 is primarily a wetting and spreading surfactant. Its role is to reduce surface tension and help spray droplets spread more evenly across the leaf surface, improving coverage and contact.

A penetrant, such as a product containing 1020 g/L organosilicone (polyether modified polysiloxane), is designed to reduce surface tension much more aggressively and promote rapid spreading and penetration of the spray solution across and into plant surfaces.

In simple terms:

Wetter 600 = improved wetting, spreading and coverage.

Penetrant = aggressive spreading with enhanced penetration and uptake.

Choosing the correct adjuvant depends on the product being applied, target plant, application objective and label requirements.

Why Use a Surfactant in Your Spray Program?

Even the best herbicide, fungicide, or foliar fertiliser can only perform as effectively as its application allows.

Poor wetting can result in spray droplets remaining concentrated in small areas of the leaf, reducing the consistency of coverage.

Wetter 600 helps overcome this by improving the interaction between the spray solution and leaf surface, making it an effective tool for professional turf and plant management programs.

For better wetting. Better spreading. More consistent coverage. Choose Wetter 600.

Important

Always follow the label directions of the primary product being applied and confirm that Wetter 600 is compatible and recommended for use. Use only at the recommended rate and avoid assuming that adding more surfactant will improve product performance.
