Description & Applications

Kaolin of the required metals in industrial applications due to its high ability to absorb water and its ability to transfer heat and electricity is weak, Kaolin is an inert metal that is not chemically effective. In addition, it has a strength in covering and concealment when used as a colored material in dyeing and coating works or as a filler. Kaolin used in several plastic applications such as Refractories industry , Chinese and porcelain industry, Rubber industries, Battery industry, ceramics, porcelain, sanitary ware ,Paper industry, Cosmetic , Medications , Agriculture and Manufacture of pesticides .

Description & Applications

Kaolin Surround W. P. is made from 98% kaolin clay, a naturally occuring mineral. When applied to fruit trees, crops, and other plants, it forms a white film. Surround suppresses a wide range of pests, especially those which damage fruit crops including pears, apples, grapes, berries, and some vegetables. It can be applied up to day of harvest and is easily rubbed off when the fruit or produce is ready to eat. Surround can help control pests such as: pear psylla, cutworms, pear midge, pear slug, apple sucker, climbing cutworm, eastern tent caterpillar, gypsy moth, japanese beetle, june beetle, grasshoppers, green fruit worm, leafrollers, lygus bug, mormon cricket, cicada, stink bug, tarnished plant bug, thrips, fabria leafspot, apple maggot, codling moth, plum curculio, rose chafer, aphids, naval orangeworm, husk fly, blueberry maggot, blackberry psyllid, flea beetles, orchards, grape leaf skeletonizer, bean leaf beetle, mexican bean beetle, powdery mildew, cucumber beetle, boll weevil, armyworm, black vine weevil, and fruit flies Kaolin used in several plastic applications such as Refractories industry , Chinese and porcelain industry , Rubber industries, Battery industry, Paper industry, Cosmetic , Medications , paints, Agriculture and Manufacture of pesticides. How it works Insects are repelled by Surround. It sticks to their body parts and encourages them to move on elsewhere. At harvest time, the white film can be removed simply by rubbing off. General usage Use in orchards, fields, vegetable gardens. Advisories Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below mean high water mark. Application rates General rate varies between 25 – 12.5 kg per 100 Liter of water. Amount of water used will depend on amount of foliage to be treated.
