    Q
    What is the difference between "ionic" and "non-ionic" surfactants?
    A

    Ionic

    When the hydrophilic part of the surfactant consists of a negatively charged group like a sulphonate, sulphate or carboxylate the surfactant is called ionic. Basic soaps are ionic surfactants.

    NonIonic

    A surfactant with a non-charged hydrophilic part, e.g. ethoxylate, is non-ionic.

    It is not necessary to mix a surfactant, such as Surf AC 910 with insecticides. It is intended to be a sticker to help insecticides stick to surfaces.

    Q
    Can you explain the difference between Surf-AC 820 & 910 other than percentage of active ingredient?
    I'm going to use a non-ionic surfactant when I spray my St. Augustine (Flortam) yard with astrizine and BifenXTS. Which non-ionic surfacant do you recommend? I live in the TampaBay area.
    A

    The difference between Surf AC 820 and Surf AC 910 is the amount of alcohol ethoxylate in each product. 

    We generally recommend Southern Ag's Non-Ionic Surfactant. It a very good product that can be mixed with insecticides and herbicides.

    Q
    Does Surf-AC 910 Surfactant work better than 820 for herbicides?
    Which one would you recommend to use with Glyphosate and 24d?
    A

    The difference between Surf AC 820 and Surf AC 910 is the amount of alcohol ethoxylate in each product. Generally, we recommend using a surfactant such as Southern Ag's Non-Ionic Surfactant. It a great product that can be mixed with many different types of insecticides and herbicides.  Though most glyphosate products do already contain a surfactant so be sure to review the product label to confirm if a surfactant is recommended to be added.
