Improving the performance of crop protection solutions with specialty adjuvants and formulation additives.

Partnering to improve crop protection solutions

As a leading manufacturer of specialty chemistries for crop protection, we partner with agriscience companies on formulations that help farmers defend yields against weeds, insects and disease.

Our portfolio of adjuvants, dispersants, emulsifiers, wetting agents and solvents is engineered to meet the evolving formulation needs of crop protection manufacturers.

Our adjuvants and formulation aids enhance the effectiveness of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides by minimizing drift,  increasing retention and coverage, and improving rainfastness. 

We continue to expand our sustainable product offerings with biobased and biodegradable adjuvant technologies that help customers meet their organizational sustainability goals.

Crop protection - Technical service and support at the Lab

Technical service and support

Our approach to working with customers is grounded in collaboration. We partner with our customers’ internal teams to ensure we deliver the best solution to meet their unique formulation requirements.

As a global solutions provider, we offer customers access to regionally based technical service teams with scientific experts who provide practical, innovative, and effective solutions to tackle complex formulation challenges.

We have fully equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories and dedicated staff in seven global regions to provide prompt and customized technical support for our customers.

Our laboratory technology and capabilities include:

  • Wet milling, dry milling, granulation and spray drying
  • Particle-size analyzers for SC formulations and drift measurement
  • Penetration studies (Franz diffusion cell)
  • Formulation robotics and predictive modeling
  • Surface tension, interfacial tension, contact angle, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) monitoring
  • High-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) images
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Infrared (IR) microscopy / IR imaging
  • Chromatography equipment such as UPLC-TQD, SEC/GPC

Featured Product Lines

Our portfolio of specialty chemistries improve the performance of crop protection formulations.

  • Morwet® A complete line of naphthalene sulfonates products, providing a wide range of dispersing and wetting agents with best-in-class performance.
  • Agrilan® A range of specialty dispersing agents for use in complex and challenging agricultural liquid and solid formulations, as well as excellent fast-wetters and compatibility agents for spray tank mixtures.
  • Adsee® A line of specialty adjuvants that are added in-can or tank-mix to crop protection products to increase the effectiveness of the active ingredients and improve overall product performance.
  • Berol® A full range of emulsifiers that facilitate the development of crop protection formulations.
  • Ethylan® A full portfolio of multipurpose crop protection formulation aids that can used as flexible wetting agents, emulsifying, and dispersants.
  • Armid® A portfolio of green solvents from sustainable sources with excellent solvency power, especially for active ingredients that require high solubilization and high loading, avoiding crystallization when diluted or used at low temperatures. These types of solvents are also known to increase the biological availability of the active ingredient, increasing its penetration of systemic products into the waxy leaf cuticle.

Featured Products

Surfactants - Anionic

Morwet D-425 Powder

Morwet® D-425 Powder is a sodium salt of naphthalene sulfonate condensate (NSC). Anionic naphthalene sulphonate condensate used as primary dispersant. It is an industry benchmark to achieve short milling time and low viscosity premix. It brings electrostatic stabilization and makes the formulation stable towards temperature changes.
