Hay Max Plus
HayMax Plus is a buffered propionic acid preservative for processing high moisture hay, corn, grain, silage, haylage and feed blends. HayMax Plus is a solution of propionic acid, ammonium propionate, citric acid, ammonium citrate, surfactants, and colorant. The minimum propionic acid content is 68.0%. In addition, HayMax Plus also contains 2% citric acid. The total concentration of working ingredients is 77.5% - a maximum of only 22.5% water. The pH is controlled at 5.5 to 5.8 with a specific gravity of 1.065-1.075 (8.9#/gl). The Citric Acid has significant benefits when baling high moisture hay. Citric acid imparts a sweeter fragrance to the hay and the hay stays green in color. The hay retains a couple of percent more moisture on drying. Citric Acid allows baling at a higher moisture level than normally recommended - a benefit when weather does not allow drying as low as would be preferred.
Application: Uniform distribution is very important. The hay should be raked into medium-sized, fluffy windrows. A 3-nozzle boom should be attached to the baler pick-up in a manner that the hay is sprayed while still fluffy so that the spray can penetrate the windrow. Fan-type nozzles should be used with a minimum pressure of 20 lbs. per square inch. Floot-type nozzles are not satisfactory.
*Not recommended for use on hay above 30% moisture.
Storage: Store out of direct sunlight.
