Sodium Lignosulfonate
- Also known as:
- Sodium lignin sulfonate
Vegetable-origin polymeric dispersant derived from lignin, used in the formulation of agricultural wettable powders and water-dispersible granules. It keeps particles in stable suspension in the spray tank and acts as a binder in granulation. It is also used in concrete, ceramics and other industrial processes.
Functions
Typical applications
- Formulation of wettable powders and water-dispersible granules

See the whole Agro line →Agricultural Mineral Oil
Highly refined paraffinic oil used as an adjuvant in agricultural sprays, where it improves the adhesion, distribution and persistence of the spray solution on the treated surface. It is used in crop management programs for fruit trees, citrus and ornamentals. It requires proper emulsification in the mixing tank.
Ammonium Sulfate
Nitrogen fertilizer that simultaneously supplies sulfur, with an acidic reaction in the soil, useful in alkaline soils and sulfur-demanding crops. In tank mixes it is used as a hard water conditioner by sequestering antagonistic cations. A widely used input in extensive crops.
Kaolin
Kaolin
Mineral clay used in agriculture as an anti-stress protective film, associated with the reduction of sunburn and heat stress on fruit and leaves. It forms a physical particle barrier that reflects excess radiation. Its versatility also gives it outlets in cosmetics, ceramics and coatings.
Organosilicone Adjuvant
Modified trisiloxane-based surfactant that reduces the surface tension of the spray solution, promoting more uniform coverage of the leaf surface. It is associated with improved penetration through stomata and a reduction in water volume per hectare. It is dosed at low rates in the mixing tank.
