Penmax®
Penmax® is a true non-ionic surfactant that will improve overall farm water use efficiency (WUE) through improved water penetration in hard to wet soils, reduce water runoff, distribute water both vertically and horizontally in soils, bank your water and flush excess salts from your plants root zone.
Importance of Water Use Efficiency
Irrigation Sustainability
Agriculture is responsible for 70 per cent of all freshwater withdrawals. This irrigation water provides approximately 40 percent of the world’s food, including most of its horticultural output (from an estimated 310 million hectares worldwide). Without the high productivity provided by irrigation, at least an additional 500 million ha would be needed to reach this level of agricultural production.
Efficient and sustainable water and soil use is essential for this and future generations. Finding ways to improve water use efficiency (WUE) to meet our food needs is among the most urgent global challenges.
A Solution
Penmax®
Penmax® is a leading water penetrant that is proven over time, across many soil types and crops to improve overall water use efficiency for sustained farming production. Penmax® works on water and soils for a consistent and constant sustainable improvement production system. It will greatly increase water penetration in hard to wet soils, flush salts away from the root zone, increase the beneficial microbial base, and reduce clouding and crusting.
How Does It Work
Increase Water Penetration by up to 400%
For more than 30 years Penmax® has been repeatedly tested and monitored and has continually proven to greatly improve water penetration into even the hardest to wet soils. Penmax® spreads water both vertically and laterally, & continues to penetrate after the irrigation cycle. Over 70 times the volume of soil is moistened & 80% more water stored in your soil profile. That’s increasing your water use efficiency like no other
Improved and Balanced Microbial Growth
Many soil penetrants can destroy different soil biology and create an in-balanced & unhealthy soil zone that can affect your soils and crops long term health.
Penmax® has the opposite effect – Penmax® improves your soils microbial activity and balance, improving long term soil health and obvious benefits to your crops.
Benefits Your Soils, Crops & Water Use Efficiency
These core benefits of Penmax® combine to create a healthier, bigger root system in your crops resulting in greater nutrient uptake and ultimately increased yield, quality and improved soil health.
- Banks water – over 80% more water can be stored in your soils profile – Deeper & Wider
- Over 70 times the volume of soil is moistened
- You have a greater return on each litre of water irrigated
- Helps to carry away excess problem salts
- Improves and facilitates balanced soil microbial growth – where others destroy it.
Water Surface Tension

Your Water Use Efficiency
Penmax® has a unique ability to spread water through soils both vertically and laterally, but even more uniquely continues to penetrate after the irrigation cycle.
Flush Unwanted Salts
Your Water Use Efficiency
Flush Unwanted Salts
Penmax® not only gets your valuable water deeper and wider, but has the unique ability to flush excess salts from your plants root zone.
Unique Spreader
Reduce Erosion, Crusting
Flush Unwanted Salts
Penmax® act as a “spreader to promote foliar absorption of nutrients and can be used with insecticides and herbicides to allow for a more efficient placement
Reduce Erosion, Crusting

Reduce Erosion, Crusting
Penmax® ability to reduce surface tension water helps loosen crusted soils and with greater water penetration there is less run off & erosion will be decreased.
Safe, Consistent Quality
