Pesticides, herbicides, and other agricultural chemicals can be dissolved or dispersed using an agricultural carrier solvent, a chemical substance. In order to form a solution or suspension that can be easily sprayed or applied to crops, these carrier solvents are generally added to the active ingredients of agricultural pesticides.
The active ingredient is effectively dissolved or suspended by the carrier solvent, which is frequently a petroleum-based chemical, guaranteeing that it may reach the desired plant or pest. There are, however, some carrier solvents that are generated from plants or other natural sources. To maintain the safety and efficiency of carrier solvents, agricultural use is strictly regulated.
Both an enhanced agricultural carrier and a process for creating it are revealed. Pesticides, in particular, are suitable for transport in the granular carrier because of their low melting point. The low-melting compound is first dissolved in an aromatic solvent before being combined with the carrier. For the low-melting chemical, the granular carrier suddenly holds more liquid than it can handle.
Global Agricultural carrier solvents market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Rhodiasolv IRIS, a new agricultural solvent produced by Solvay S.A, has good eco-friendly characteristics. This solvent will now be produced at Solvay’s Melle facility in France starting, when it was previously manufactured in China.
Effective, non-flammable, quickly biodegradable, low volatile, and non-CMR are all characteristics of Rhodiasolv IRIS (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic). It is employed in a variety of tasks, including the creation of phytosanitary goods, paint removal, graffiti and resin cleanup, industrial cleaning, and agrochemistry.
Rhodiasolv IRIS is in line with the implementation of Solvay One Planet’s sustainability agenda, which specifically aims at converting the Group’s portfolio to more environmentally friendly products.
Rhodiasolv IRIS, in particular, enables the employment of an innovative manufacturing process that recycles a burned byproduct of its polyamide chain. This method minimises the impact on the environment while maximising the usage of petrochemical resources.
One of the main items in the Rhodiasolv line of ecologically acceptable solvents that support the shift to more environmentally friendly agriculture.
