SURFCROP® LAE Series are high-performance nonionic surfactants based on Lauryl Alcohol ethoxylated with moles of ethylene oxide (EO), with CAS No. 68439-50-9, specifically developed for agricultural applications. It offers excellent surface-active properties, including superior wetting, spreading, and emulsifying capabilities, making it an ideal additive in various crop protection and nutrient delivery systems.
In agriculture, SURFCROP® LAE Series are widely used to enhance the effectiveness of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and foliar fertilizers by improving the uniform distribution and adhesion of spray solutions on plant surfaces. This ensures better coverage, increased penetration of active ingredients, and reduced wash-off losses. Its compatibility with both water- and oil-based systems allows for versatile use in tankmix adjuvants, emulsifiable concentrates (ECs), soluble liquids (SLs), and suspension concentrates (SCs). By optimizing spray performance and increasing agrochemical efficiency, SURFCROP® LAE-500 contributes to higher crop productivity and more sustainable farming practices.
