Applications:
As Agrochemical Auxiliary
As natural surfactant, tea saponin powder is an excellent agent for liquid and water-soluble pesticide. Saponin is self-degradable and non-toxic. During the separation process, it will not affect the chemical property of the pesticide but last the effect of the pesticide. Saponin is wildly used in the herbicide (such as Glyphosate), and insecticides (such as Bisultap). Especially for Glyphosate, saponin can improve the adhesive force and wet absorption, and meanwhile enhance the penetration and biological activity of Glyphosate. It can reduce the dosage of pure herbicides to 50%-70%.
As Natural Molluscicide
Tea saponin is an organic molluscicide without any potential harm to human, animals and environment. It is used in rice field to kill snails, especially Golden Apple Snail with good efficacy. It also can ensure high harvest and top quality of rice without accumulated harmful elements.
Aquaculture Area
Tea saponin powder is widely used in aquaculture fields. In shrimp farming, it is used to kill mollusks. Besides, it can help shrimps to take off the shell earlier and enhance their growth. In crab and sea cucumber farming, tea saponin is used to control parasites as well as improve the ecdysis and growth. Because of hemolysis, tea saponin can kill unwanted fish, but it is not harmful to shrimps, crabs, and human beings. It can detoxify quickly in water and leaves no cumulative adverse residues. Tea saponin is an excellent natural pond-cleaning agent.
As Foaming Agent
Tea saponin can be used as foaming agent in air-added concrete production. It has degrease function and can improve aluminum spreading suspended character, which enhances the stability of concrete setting, improves the air-hole structure, and makes the products firmer and more reliable. The effects are much better than honeylocust powder and nekal.
Tea sponin can also be used in many other fields such as feed area, building area, daily chemical area, medicine area, oil mining area, beverage area, and so on.
