Technical Silicon

Technical silicon most commonly refers to silicon-based product used in agriculture to improve the effectiveness of sprays, acting as a spreader and penetrant to enhance chemical absorption by plants. It can also refer to technical-grade silicon in a broader industrial sense, used for applications like manufacturing silicone rubber, though it's distinct from the ultra-pure silicon needed for high-end electronics like semiconductors.

Technical Silicon in Agriculture:
What it is: A liquid formula, often 100% pure, used as an agricultural adjuvant.

Primary function: It works as a "spreader" and "penetrant" to lower the surface tension of water-based sprays, allowing them to spread more evenly and be absorbed more easily by plant leaves.

Benefits: Improves plant growth by making pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers more effective. It also helps to stop plant illnesses and bugs.

Form: It is typically sold as a liquid and can be stored at room temperature.
