New Brighton, MN, September 15, 2008 – The Hypro GuardianAIR is the only spray tip with a pattern and droplet size scientifically designed to maximize coverage and productivity at spray rates around 10 GPA. This technology was originally developed by Hypro for the Syngenta Amistar nozzle and has been proven on millions of acres around the world.

GuardianAIR spray tips boost productivity, control, and profitability using a patented combination of innovations. They are air-induced to reduce drift and boost on-target spray deposition, yet are tuned to provide more droplets per gallon than any comparable air induced tip. Those coverage-boosting droplets are delivered at an optimized incline that provides more uniform coverage on the entire plant, front and back.

GuardianAIR spray tips are available in sizes 015, 02, 025, 03, 035, 04, and 05 and are offered as individual tips to fit standard caps or as a FastCap® configuration, equipped with a cap and gasket for easy installation.
