- Start with the lowest dose — add more while foam remains
- Siloxane molecules in the bubble walls — the foam settles
Overview
About this product
Pinol is a product that prevents or reduces foam in the sprayer tank. The active substance, polydimethylsiloxane 200 g/L, belongs to the polyorganosiloxanes: its molecules replace the molecules of the bubble walls at weak points, and the bubbles burst.
The dose is chosen by how much the products in the mix foam, from 5 to 50 ml per 100 l of working solution: start with the lowest and add more while foam remains. Whether the partner products have restrictions on polyorganosiloxane-based defoamers is checked on their labels.
Pack size 1 l.

What farmers ask most
- In Ukraine a crop-protection product may be sold only with a state registration. The certificate and the expiry date recorded for this product are in the Specifications table above.

ADAM accepts no new vendor offer when the registration is missing, cancelled or past that period.
