ingredients
Buffered propionic acid
68.0%
- Lowers the pH to create an acidic environment unsuitable for microbes
- Acts as a powerful fungicide and acidifier
- Inhibits the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria that can cause spoilage, heating, and dry matter loss
- Buffering agents reduce the acid’s corrosiveness to machinery
Citric acid
2.5%
- Allows baling at a higher moisture level than normally recommended, a benefit when weather does not allow field drying as low as would be preferred
- Retains a couple percent more moisture while drying
- Acts as an antioxidant by serving as a metal chelator agent, binding to trace metals such as iron, copper, and manganese
- pH buffer, which slows the oxidation of nutrients and inhibits the growth of mold and bacteria
- Imparts a sweeter fragrance and hay stays greener in color
Ethoxylated alcohol
0.5 – 1.0%
- Acts as surface-active agents that improve the coverage and effectiveness of buffered propionic acid
- Reduces surface tension to allow for more uniform moisture distribution
