Polyterpene resin

Piccolyte AO Plus

Piccolyte AO Plus polyterpene oligomers are low molecular weight oligomers of bicyclic terpenes derived from high-purity alpha-pinene isolated from turpentine.

Key properties

This product is used in the agricultural industry as a retention aid and sticker for herbicides and pesticides that are applied to crops and plants.

Piccolyte AO Plus polyterpene oligomers prevent the active chemical from washing off the foliage. It also demonstrates superior film forming properties and persistence.

When using Piccolyte® AO Plus polyterpene oligomers, the film formed on the foliage is resistant to air, light, and moisture penetration, resulting in increased and controlled efficacy of the applied agricultural chemical.
