Key Benefits of SC Formulations

• No Dust: Reduces inhalation risks compared to powder formulations.
• Non-Flammable & Non-Toxic: Safe to handle without solvent-related hazards.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Smaller particle size ensures better coverage and performance.
• Low Packaging Volume: Requires less storage space and is easy to transport.
• Long-Term Stability: Prevents sedimentation, ensuring consistent performance.
• Easily Pourable & Dispersible: Provides smooth application in agricultural settings.

Role of Surfactants in SC Formulations

Surfactants are essential for stabilizing the formulation and ensuring proper dispersion. They aid in:

• Wetting of solid particles.
• Enhancing dispersibility in the liquid phase.
• Preventing particle aggregation.
• Ensuring stability in diluted applications.

Composition of SC Formulation

• Active Ingredient: 50-800 g/L
• Wetting Agents: 5-15 g/L
• Dispersing Agents: 20-50 g/L
• Antifreeze: 20-80 g/L (e.g., Monopropylene Glycol)
• Antifoam & Stabilizers: 1-5 g/L
• Thickener: 1-4 g/L (e.g., Xanthan Gum, Bentonite)
• Preservative: Protects against bacterial contamination.
• Water: Up to 1000 mL

Selection of Key Additives

• Wetting Agents: Improve solid particle wetting of hydrophobic actives.
• Dispersing Agents: Ensure uniform dispersion of solid active particles.
• Antifreeze Agents: Prevent freezing and ensure usability in varied climates.
• Thickeners: Maintain suspension integrity and prevent settlement.
• Antifoams: Reduce foam formation during mixing and field application.
• Preservatives: Prevent microbial contamination and extend shelf life.
