What type of material should be avoided for applying abrasive pesticides?

Brass or aluminum tips should be avoided for applying abrasive pesticides because these materials can corrode or degrade when exposed to harsh chemicals present in many pesticides. The abrasiveness of certain pesticide formulations can exacerbate the wear and tear on these metal tips. In contrast, other materials such as ceramic and stainless steel are more resistant to corrosion, enabling them to maintain their integrity and functionality over time when used with abrasive substances. Plastic tips may also be suitable as they typically do not corrode, although they might wear out faster if subjected to highly abrasive materials. Therefore, choosing the appropriate tip material is crucial for maintaining the equipment and ensuring effective pesticide application.
