Formulation types
EMULSIFIABLE CONCENTRATES (EC)
Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC), despite the evolution of other up to date formulations, are still used worldwide because of their simple manufacturing process and lower cost. For application in the field, such formulations are diluted in water, forming oil-in-water emulsion which allow a homogeneous distribution of active ingredients on crops.
Emulsifiable Concentrates generally contain:
• Active Ingredients
• Solvents
• Co-solvents
• Emulsifiers
• Stabilizers, Stickers, Antifoam.
SOLUBLE LIQUIDS (SL)
Soluble Liquids are water soluble formulations of active ingredients in water or in polar solvents. The active ingredient must be absolutely chemically stable in water and in the selected solvents.In many cases actives are solution of alkaline
salts thus sequestering agents are necessary to avoid flocculation of salts in field-rate dilution water. Often the biological activity of SL is linked to the presence of a biological activator or wetter to improve the penetration of the active ingredient into the cuticular layer. The formulation must be chemically and
physically stable and also clear at the usual storage temperatures. For application in the field, soluble liquids must be obviously soluble in water of various hardness and temperature.
SUSPENSION CONCENTRATES (SC)
The suspension concentrates (SC) also known as "flowables" consist of insoluble solid active ingredients dispersed (normally at high concentration) in water. Suspension concentrates have shown a rapid development in the past, mainly due to their several benefits when compared to other formulations:
• No dust
• No problem of toxicity or flammability due to solvents
• Good efficiency due to the smaller particle size
• The following properties are required for this type of formulation:
• Long term storage stability (no settlement, stable rheological behaviour etc.)
• Fairly low viscosity (easily pourable and readily dispersible in water)
• Good stability of the diluted dispersion at the application rate of use
EMULSIONS IN WATER (EW)
Emulsion in water (EW) results from the dispersion of a liquid or a low melting point active ingredient in a water continuous phase. The size of the dispersed droplets range generally from 0.5 to 2 µm. Emulsions can be obtained by low shear or high shear process and usually stabilized by a thickening agent and/or hydro-colloids in order to ensure a long term stability.
SUSPO-EMULSIONS (SE)
A Suspo-Emulsion (SE) is a formulation containing both solid and liquid (or low melting point solid + solvent) active ingredients dispersed in an aqueous phase. It is possible using this method to put together in the same water based formulation different active ingredients with different physical-chemical characteristics.
OIL DISPERSIONS (OD)
An OD is a non-aqueous suspension concentrate. It combines a very good biological efficacy with an environmental friendly formulation. The active ingredient is dispersed in oils or methylated crop oils. Main features are:
• No Aromatic Solvent
• Non aqueous formulation
• Non Flammable and low volatility
• Higher efficiency
• No Labelling issue
WETTABLE POWDERS (WP)
Production of Wettable Powders (WP) is relatively simple with moderate costs. Physicochemical Characteristics:The physical-chemical characteristics of WP,
according to international specifications, have to comply with the following requirements:
• Quick wetting.
• Complete disperse-ability.
• Suspension stability.
• Low foaming.
• No caking during storage.
WATER DISPERSIBLE GRANULES (WG)
Water Dispersible Granules (WG) are obtained by blending and agglomerating a ground solid active ingredient together with surfactants and other formulation ingredients, using water (or water + surfactants), as an agglomerating agent. A drying step is necessary to reduce moisture to a 1-2% range.The shape, size and performance of the
granules vary according to the manufacturing
process used to produce them.
