What happens to the output from a spray system when polymer is added to the spray solution?

When polymer is added to a spray solution, the output from the spray system typically decreases. This occurs because polymers can increase the viscosity of the solution. A more viscous solution has a harder time being atomized into small droplets, which can lead to a less efficient spray pattern and reduced flow rate from the nozzle. Consequently, the overall output of the spray system can diminish as the thicker solution does not flow as easily through the spray equipment.

Understanding the effect of polymers on spray solutions is essential for optimal performance in pest control applications, ensuring adequate coverage and effectiveness of the treatment.
