- Among the most widely used class of surfactants to attain the needed penetration of plant and animal cuticles or achieve the necessary level of surface tension reduction are the organosilicon surfactants.
- Organosilicon surfactants are a class of silicone-based copolymers containing a hydrophobic methylated oligosiloxane backbone and a hydrophilic polyalkoxylate (ethoxylate and propoxylate) chain.
- Organosilicon surfactants are particularly potent as super-penetrants, super-spreaders, and probable ecotoxicants. They generally enhance the pesticidal efficacy and inadvertently the non-target effects of the active ingredient.
