STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in original container. Do not reuse empty container. Triple rinse (or equivalent) during mixing and
loading. Recycling decontaminated containers is the best option of container disposal. The Agricultural

ACRC recycler or visit the ACRC web page at www.acrecycle.org. Decontaminated containers may also be
disposed of in a sanitary landfill.
GENERAL INFORMATION
SILKIN is a superior organosilicone surfactant designed for water-based herbicide applications in agriculture,
horticulture, industrial, turf and forestry operations. It is designed for fast spreading, uniform distribution and
absorption of spray on leaf and stem surfaces. SILKIN may be used with most pesticides and fertilizer
products (see note under directions for use). SILKIN is also recommended for use with non-selective
herbicides and other pesticides including those used to desiccate or defoliate.
Optimum application and consequent effects can be influenced by many factors. It is recommended that the
spray be observed and adjuvant rates be adjusted accordingly. During application, insure thorough coverage
without excessive runoff.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For Terrestrial Use Only – Not For Aquatic Use
SILKIN is a organosilicone surfactant designed for use in certain agricultural and horticultural uses where a
nonionic surfactant is recommended.

NOTE: Carefully read and follow the specific directions contained on the label of the chemical used. Before
adding SILKIN to spray tank mixes or before using with a pesticide or fertilizer where a nonionic adjuvant is
not specifically recommended but not prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must
have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial of their own. For local
recommendations, consult a competent agricultural authority.
Aerial Application: When applying aerially, follow pesticide label directions including minimum water
volume per acre. Do not substitute SILKIN for water required by the pesticide label.
Irrigation Injection: Applications of SILKIN through irrigation injection systems are possible provided the
recommended use rates and dilutions are maintained and local, state, and federal guidelines are followed.
MIXING:
Spray mixing and application equipment must be cleaned according to cleaning directions on prior pesticide
label before application.
To minimize and help prevent foaming, fill tank 2/3 to 3/4 full of water. Add pesticides and/or fertilizers as
directed by label or in the following sequence: 1) Micronutrients and fertilizer; 2) Dry flowables and
dispersible granules; 3) Flowables; 4) Water-soluble pesticides; 5) Emulsifiable concentrates.
While agitating, add SILKIN and mix for 1 to 2 minutes with lower than normal agitation. Continue filling tank
maintaining minimal agitation. For most effective results, apply within 36 hours after mixing.
