Which option describes a disadvantage of Flowable (F) in relation to equipment handling?

• A. Low cost
• B. Easy to handle
• C. Broad compatibility
• D. Spray mix needs constant agitation

Answer: (D)

Flowable products are solid particles suspended in water, so keeping the mixture uniform during handling and application is essential. Since the particles tend to settle, the spray mix must be kept in motion with a reliable agitator throughout mixing and spraying. If agitation isn’t maintained, sediment can form, cause clogging of filters and nozzles, and lead to inconsistent application and more maintenance or equipment wear. That ongoing need for agitation makes Flowables harder to manage in terms of equipment handling, even though they’re typically considered convenient in other ways. The other options describe advantages (lower cost, easier handling, broad compatibility) and don’t capture this handling drawback.
