Oil dispersions have a number of benefits over typical suspension concentrates, including improved foliar retention, spreading and uptake of actives, as well as the delivery of water instable actives, an important feature in the burgeoning area of bio-pesticides and bio-stimulants. Additional benefits from Lubrizol’s co-formulants can include enhanced sustainability and excellent product life without the need for biocides. However, achieving high concentration, multiple actives, stable oil dispersions with broad applicability is one of the more significant formulating challenges in pesticide delivery.
Lubrizol has a unique range of dispersant, emulsifier, rheology modifier and surfactant technologies to meet these challenges (with select examples below). Reach out to Lubrizol's technical team for more information and additional technologies.
