VOULLAIRE'S EE-MULS-OYLE Multi-Purpose Drying Oil
Product Description
Voullaires EE-MULS-OYLE is a Multi-Purpose Drying Oil used to
assist the drying of grapes and other fruits. The active ingredients
are based on ethyl esters which are the most cost effective materials
to increase the rate of drying. This oil is formulated with a unique
blend of emulsifiers that confers excellent emulsion stability to
provide easy and reliable emulsification at the point of use.
Product Performance
To retard water loss many fruits have a hydrophobic
(water repellent) surface that is made up of over-lapping wax
platelets.
The active ingredients in Voullaires' EE-MULS-OYLE
modify the waxy surface of treated fruit. This modification is a rearrangement
of the wax platelets which facilitates the movement
of water from the fruit to the surrounding atmosphere.
Product Usage
Always follow the directions for use on the label.
Avoid applying to immature fruit of less than 22º Brix
For even-drying, the fruit must be completely covered with
emulsion. To help ensure this, emulsion may be reapplied 4-5
days after the initial treatment. However, drying time is
retarded by additional unnecessary applications of emulsion.
If rain occurs within three days of spraying and removes a
significant amount of emulsion, it should be reapplied.
Avoid Spraying at low ambient temperatures (15ºC).
Apply emulsion within 4 days of cane cutting or vice versa.
