Product Spotlight - Indigo Scrubwet Penetrant Surfactant

pH Considerations for Scrubwet Application:

When using Scrubwet Penetrant Surfactant, pH levels of the water used for mixing are crucial for maintaining efficacy. Here are some key points to consider:

pH Range:

• Aim for a pH below 7 for optimal performance. 

• pH levels above 7 can start to impact the effectiveness of Scrubwet, with significant issues arising around pH 8 or 9.

Challenges with High pH Water:

• High pH water can lead to the breakdown of Scrubwet and weaken its chemical properties.

• Extended exposure to high pH water can exacerbate this breakdown, reducing the effectiveness of the penetrant & surfactant.

  
  

Mitigation Strategies: 

• Acidifying the water before mixing with Scrubwet can mitigate pH-related issues and ensure consistent performance.

• Acidification of water is essential, particularly in regions where natural water sources have pH levels above 7.

• Consider using rainwater or acidified water sources in areas with consistently high pH levels to maintain the efficacy of Scrubwet.

Mixing Recommendations:

• For optimal results, consider using both acidification and Scrubwet in your mixing regimen, especially in areas with notoriously high pH water sources.

• Regular monitoring of pH levels in water sources is recommended to ensure consistency and efficacy in product applications.

By carefully managing pH levels and implementing appropriate mitigation strategies, turf managers can maximise the effectiveness of Scrubwet and aid with desired weed control outcomes, even in challenging environmental conditions.
