A category of chemicals known as “agrochemical solvents” is employed in the agricultural sector to formulate and apply various agrochemical products, including pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers. The main functions of these solvents are to carry, dilute, disperse, or solubilize the active components found in these agricultural chemicals.
Solvents used in the production of agrochemical products have a variety of uses. They aid in the active components’ dissolution or suspension, guaranteeing their consistent distribution throughout the product. Solvents enhance these compounds’ spreading, wetting, and penetrating characteristics, which helps with their efficient application. Solvents can also lengthen the shelf life and stability of agrochemical formulations
Solvents of the following classes are frequently employed in agrochemical formulations: Hydrocarbons: Due to their capacity to dissolve a variety of agrochemicals, petroleum-based solvents like mineral oils, kerosene, and diesel are frequently utilized.
Organic solvents are used because of their solvent qualities and compatibility with various active substances. Examples include alcohols (ethanol, isopropanol), ethers (ethyl, methyl tert-butyl), and ketones (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone).
Surface-active substances, often known as surfactants, are essential in the formulation of agrochemicals. They aid in the emulsification and dispersion of active substances in water or other solvents. Additionally, surfactants can improve the finished product’s wetting and spreading properties.
It’s crucial to remember that the selection of agrochemical solvents depends on a variety of elements, including the particular agrochemical product being developed, compatibility with active ingredients, legal requirements, environmental concerns, and user and environmental safety.
When handling and utilizing agrochemical products, it is always important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and abide by local laws.
The Global Agrochemical 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.
Collaboration in agrochemicals announced by Clariant and Eastman. The distribution of Eastman’s Tamisolve NxG solvent, a cutting-edge, low-tox, and highly efficient solvent for the agrochemical industry, will be made possible by an exclusive cooperation agreement between Clariant, a global leader in specialty chemicals, and Eastman Chemical Company, a global advanced materials and specialty additives company.
For usage in biological control agents, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and plant growth regulators, TamiSolve NxG was created for the global plant protection industry.
Under the terms of this contract, Clariant will exclusively market and commercialize TamiSolve NxG under the brand name “GenagenTM NBP” of Clariant. Crop protection players must create novel, effective, and environmentally friendly solutions in a market for plant protection that is governed by strict rules and increasing efficiency demands as a result of a growing population.
