Sanco Plex Mate Surfactant 8oz
Maximize Your Aquatic Treatment Effectiveness
Sanco Plex Mate Surfactant is a professional-grade additive that dramatically improves the performance of aquatic herbicides and algaecides. By breaking down waxy plant coatings and enhancing chemical adhesion, Plex Mate ensures your treatments stick to target plants and penetrate deep into tissue for faster, more complete control.
How It Works
Aquatic weeds and algae have waxy protective coatings that cause treatment chemicals to bead up and roll off. Plex Mate solves this problem by improving adhesion to plant surfaces and breaking down barrier layers, allowing herbicides and algaecides to penetrate where they're most effective.
When to Use Plex Mate
Specifically formulated for floating and emerged weeds, plus surface algae:
- With Crystal Plex: For floating algae mats and surface layers
- With Tsunami DQ: For duckweed, watermeal, and floating vegetation
- With Catt Plex: Essential for every cattail treatment to penetrate thick waxy coatings

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a surfactant and why do I need it?
A surfactant helps treatment chemicals spread evenly and stick to plant surfaces. Without it, herbicides and algaecides often bead up and roll off waxy plants before being absorbed, reducing effectiveness.
Can I use Plex Mate with any herbicide or algaecide?
Plex Mate is designed for Sanco's aquatic products including Crystal Plex, Tsunami DQ, and Catt Plex. Always check your herbicide or algaecide label to ensure surfactant use is recommended.
How much do I need per gallon?
Mixing ratios vary by product and target vegetation. Always follow label directions on both Plex Mate and your chosen treatment product. The 8oz concentrated bottle treats multiple applications.
Will it harm fish or aquatic life?
When used according to label directions with approved aquatic products, Plex Mate is designed for aquatic environments. Always follow all safety precautions and application restrictions on product labels.
Do I need it for submerged weeds?
No. Plex Mate is for floating and emerged weeds and surface algae. Submerged vegetation is already in direct contact with treatment chemicals through the water column.
Why use it with Catt Plex every time?
Cattails have extremely thick, waxy coatings that resist herbicide penetration. Plex Mate ensures Catt Plex can break through this barrier for effective control.
