Agriculture & Agrochemical

Emulsifiers and adjuvants for pesticide and agrochemical formulations.

Why agrochemical formulations need emulsifiers

A pesticide is only effective if the active ingredient reaches the target and stays there — which is why agrochemical formulations depend on emulsifiers and adjuvants. A pesticide emulsifier turns the active into a stable emulsion that dilutes in the spray tank, spreads on the leaf and resists wash-off.

We supply an agricultural emulsifier series plus nonionic wetting options for emulsion stability and adjuvant work. Because tank-mix compatibility varies with the active and water hardness, we confirm suitability before sampling.

  • Pesticide emulsifiers for oil-in-water emulsion stability
  • Nonionic wetting agents for spray coverage and leaf spreading
  • Adjuvant candidates for tank-mix performance

Agrochemical registration is a long, costly process, and a change in emulsifier can force re-testing of a formulation. Formulators therefore prefer a stable pesticide emulsifier supply with consistent behaviour across batches, plus technical support for tank-mix and adjuvant questions in the field.

Pesticide Emulsifier 600 — representative imagery

Pesticide Emulsifier 600

Pesticide Emulsifier 600 is an agricultural emulsifier series (light-yellow-to-orange viscous liquid or paste) that forms stable oil-in-water emulsions of active ingredients with good dispersibility and emulsion stability. It is formulated for EC (emulsifiable concentrate) and other agrochemical preparations and is compatible with common solvents and active compounds.

Tween-80 (Polysorbate 80) — representative imagery

Tween-80 (Polysorbate 80)

Tween-80 (polysorbate 80, CAS 9005-65-6) is a nonionic surfactant that functions as an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier and solubilizer. It conforms to HG/T 3510 as an amber viscous grease with hydroxyl value 65-82 mgKOH/g, saponification number 43-55 mgKOH/g, acid value <=2 mgKOH/g and water content <=2%, and is used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food systems.

Span-80 (Sorbitan Oleate)

Span-80 (sorbitan oleate, CAS 1338-43-8) is a lipophilic nonionic surfactant that functions as a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier. It conforms to HG/T 3508 as an amber viscous grease with hydroxyl value 190-220 mgKOH/g, saponification number 140-160 mgKOH/g, acid value <=8.0 mgKOH/g and water content <=1.5%, and is used in cosmetic, food and industrial W/O systems.

Application examples

  • Emulsifiable concentrates (EC) — Pesticide Emulsifier 600 enables stable oil-in-water emulsions of active ingredients in the spray tank.
  • Spray coverage — nonionic wetting agents such as polysorbate help sprays spread evenly on waxy leaf surfaces.
  • Adjuvant systems — emulsifier and surfactant blends improve penetration and rainfastness when confirmed against the active.
  • Tank-mix stability — the right emulsifier keeps actives and co-formulants from separating under field water conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pesticide emulsifier?

A pesticide emulsifier is a surfactant that stabilises the oil-in-water emulsion formed when an emulsifiable concentrate is diluted in the spray tank, keeping the active evenly dispersed for even field coverage.

Can I request an agrochemical emulsifier sample?

Yes — free 500 g to 1000 g samples are available for evaluation. The buyer covers freight, and the sample value is deducted from a future bulk order.

Which emulsifier should I use for my EC formulation?

Share your active ingredient, solvent system, target dilution rate and local water hardness; our technical team will shortlist Pesticide Emulsifier 600 blends or nonionic wetting agents to evaluate.
