Abstract
New and improved compositions comprising particulates and an effective amount of one or more effective salt(s) to reduce significantly the wetting time and/or the dispersion time of said particulates relative to said time(s) in the absence of said salt(s) have been discovered. Methods for reducing the wetting time of particulates in liquid have also been discovered.
Claims4
A method for wetting of particulates comprising:
- admixing a particulate material, wherein the particulate material is an agricultural chemical, with an effective amount of a metal salt consisting essentially of zinc chloride such that the particulate material is wetted, dissolved or dispersed in less than 50% of the time needed to wet, dissolve or disperse the particulate material in the absence of zinc chloride.
