Hydrate Plus NF: A Smarter Surfactant That Makes Every Spray Dollar Work Harder

Self-propelled agricultural sprayer applying crop protection across a field under clear blue skies.

At a Glance — Hydrate Plus NF

Hydrate Plus NF is a professional-grade, non-ionic surfactant that improves spray coverage, chemical performance, and application efficiency — without the foam, compatibility issues, or equipment problems common with cheaper surfactants.

It’s approved as a tank-mix adjuvant with major ag chemical manufacturers, often eliminates the need for multiple additives, and helps keep tanks and nozzles cleaner. With proven performance over 16+ years and a cost as low as $0.33 per acre, Hydrate Plus NF helps farmers and applicators get more out of every spray dollar.


A Smarter Approach to Surfactants

In today’s ag environment, input costs matter more than ever. Farmers and applicators aren’t just looking for products that work — they’re looking for products that work efficiently, consistently, and without creating new problems down the line.

That’s where Hydrate Plus NF stands apart.

Hydrate Plus NF is a professional-grade, non-ionic surfactant designed to improve spray coverage, chemical performance, and overall application efficiency — while also protecting equipment and lowering total cost per acre.


Why Surfactant Choice Matters More Than Most People Realize

Surfactants are often treated as an afterthought — added at the end of the tank mix or chosen based on price alone. But the right surfactant can be the difference between:

  • Even coverage vs. wasted chemical
  • Clean equipment vs. clogged nozzles
  • One additive vs. stacking multiple products

Cheap surfactants often foam excessively, break down inconsistently, or interfere with chemical performance. Hydrate Plus NF is formulated to avoid those problems altogether.


What Hydrate Plus NF Does Differently

Hydrate Plus NF is a non-ionic surfactant, meaning it works effectively with a wide range of chemistries without reacting negatively with active ingredients.

Key performance advantages:

  • Improves wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces
  • Reduces surface tension, helping spray droplets cover more area
  • Contains a non-foaming additive, eliminating foam headaches during mixing
  • Acts as a suspension aid, helping keep powders and dry-flowables evenly mixed
  • Helps keep tanks, nozzles, and pumps cleaner, reducing downtime and maintenance

In practical terms: chemicals work better, applications are more uniform, and equipment stays cleaner.


Approved, Compatible, and Proven

Hydrate Plus NF is approved as a tank mix adjuvant with major ag chemical manufacturers, including:

  • Monsanto
  • Xtdimax with VaporGrip
  • Engenia
  • DuPont
  • BASF

In most cases, no additional drift agent is required, eliminating the need to stack multiple additives in the tank.

Hydrate Plus NF has also been on the market for over 16 years, with proven performance across a wide range of crops, conditions, and application methods.


Where Hydrate Plus NF Is Used

Hydrate Plus NF is extremely versatile and can be used with:

  • Herbicides
  • Fertilizers
  • Pesticides
  • Fungicides
  • Nutrients
  • Water-only applications

It’s commonly used in:

  • Row crop applications
  • Roadside and right-of-way spraying
  • Turf and golf course management
  • Pasture and forage systems

Equipment-Friendly by Design

One of the most overlooked benefits of Hydrate Plus NF is equipment protection.

Because it is:

  • Non-corrosive
  • Non-ionic
  • Low-foaming

…it helps reduce residue buildup, nozzle clogging, and unnecessary wear on pumps and spray systems. Cleaner equipment means fewer interruptions and more consistent application results.


Cost Per Acre That Actually Makes Sense

Hydrate Plus NF is economical at use rates of 1:800 or 1:400, depending on application needs.

At a standard 10 gallons per acre, the cost can be as low as:

$0.33 per acre

When you factor in improved chemical performance, reduced need for additional additives, and fewer application issues, Hydrate Plus NF often pays for itself in the first pass.


Who Hydrate Plus NF Is Best For

Hydrate Plus NF is ideal for:

  • Farmers looking to maximize the effectiveness of every input dollar
  • Custom applicators who need consistency and reliability
  • Operations tired of managing foam, compatibility issues, or clogged equipment
  • Anyone looking to simplify tank mixes without sacrificing performance

Bottom Line

Hydrate Plus NF isn’t just another surfactant.
It’s a tool that helps your entire spray program work better — from mixing and application to equipment performance and cost control.

If you’re ready to stop wasting chemistry and start getting more out of every acre, Hydrate Plus NF is worth a closer look.
