Function:
Tea saponin is a sugar compound extracted from the seeds of camellia plants, which belongs to the saponin family and is a natural non-ionic surfactant. After testing, tea saponin has good emulsifying, dispersing, foaming, moisturizing and other functions, and has pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-penetration. Tea saponin product is light yellow fine powder, which is widely used in washing, wool spinning, knitting, medicine, daily chemical industry and other production. It can be used as wetting agent and suspending agent in solid pesticides, as synergist and spreading agent in emulsifiable concentrate pesticides, and can also be directly used as biological pesticides.
Tea saponin is an excellent adjuvant for water or soluble powder pesticides, which can improve the physical properties of pesticides, improve the adhesion of the liquid on the surface of organisms or plants, and play a synergistic effect on pesticides. Tea saponin can be degraded automatically and is non-toxic. It will not affect the chemical properties of pesticides during the separation process, which is beneficial to the storage of pesticides. Tea saponin has been widely used in herbicide glyphosate, insecticide and insecticide, especially in glyphosate, which gives full play to the excellent properties of glyphosate and improves its adhesion and moisture absorption on plants. It can improve the permeability of the liquid medicine, and because of the good biological activity of tea saponin, it can also improve the biological activity of glyphosate.
