FOAM CRUSHER

Highly concentrated anti-foam for herbicides and pesticides

Polysiloxane based anti-foam additive

Foam Crusher is an organosilicone based defoamer agent.  These are products that are added to herbicide and pesticide mixes to reduce the amount of foaming.  Although mainly used by the helicopter boys (and girls) to allow them to fill up and get spraying quickly, there are plenty of people boom spraying that have the same issues, so they too are using anti-foaming agents.  

Similar or equivalent to:

Foam Wrecker (1) which is used at similar usage rates to Foam Crusher.

Antifoam A (2) which at 10-100ml/100L means Foam Crusher is nearly 10 – 20 times stronger.

Foamex (3) which at 10-30ml/100L means Foam Crusher is around 6-10 times stronger.

THE BENEFITS OF USING FOAM CRUSHER

• Really cost effective.   A 1L container is enough to de-foam 20,000 – 100,000 litres of spray solution.

• Foaming is eliminated.

• No slicking or floating oil.

• Can be used with virtually all agricultural and horticultural spray mixes.

• Can be used over a wide pH range.

HOW TO USE FOAM CRUSHER

Partly fill your tank with water.  Add Foam Crusher at between 1 – 5ml/100L.  We normally recommend around 1.5ml / 100L for most agrichemicals.  Keep filling with water then add your agricultural chemical.  Do not use more than the recommended rate.  You don’t need to as the correct dosage will crush foam.
