Ashland accelerates application of super wetting
Ashland, a global additives and specialty ingredients company, has expedited the application of its new super wetting technology platform, announced in September. The company has commercialized easy-wet™ 300 n, a biodegradable, nonionic, silicone-free wetting agent for various crops and produce. Successful field trials and customer pilots over the past year have validated Ashland s strategy and commitment to scaling high-performance, innovative, and sustainable technologies. Easy-wet™ 300 n reduces spray drift, demonstrates superior effectiveness at lower concentrations in pesticide mixes, and provides better wettability than non-silicone, non-ionic surfactants (NIS). The product efficiently lowers water surface tension, ensuring full-coverage delivery of active ingredients across leaf surfaces. This technology enables agricultural retailers to improve crop yields and support their sustainability goals. Alessandra Faccin, senior vice president and general manager of life sciences at Ashland, highlighted the company s purpose to responsibly solve for a better world. Jean Jacques Gulka, business director of crop care, life sciences at Ashland, emphasized the high-value performance and precise control offered by easy-wet™ 300 n. Ashland s easy-wet™ 300 n wetting agent is water-soluble, waste-free, and biodegradable, as defined by OECD Test No. 302B.
