Rocima™ BT 2S: is a BIT-based in-can preservatives that is approved for use in pre-harvest applications under the CFR 180.920 tolerance exception; CAS# 2634-33-5
Bioban™ BP Plus/30: is a Bronopol-based in-can preservative for use in pre- and post-harvest formulations under the CFR 180.910 tolerance excemptionfor ; CAS# 52-51-7
Dowicide™ A: is a Sodium O-Phenylphenate preservatives that has the post harvest US FDA tolerance exemption for pears and citrus fruits; CAS# 132-27-4
Dispersing Agents
Sokalan Acrylic Polymers:
Poly acrylic acid (PA) and Sodium poly acrylates (CP) offered from BASF to be used as dispersing agents and carries required clearance for the agriculture applications:
Sokalan® PA 30 CL: Poly acrylic acid based dispersing agent and chemistry carries 40 CFR 180.960 clearance
Sokalan® CP 5: Maleic and acrylic co-polymer based dispersing agent and chemistry carries 40 CFR 180.960 clearance
Sokalan® CP 9: Maleic and acrylic c-polymer sodium salt and chemistry carries 40 CFR 180.960 clearance
Accelerate® Sodium Croscarmellose:
Accelerate® DS-813 quickly disintegrates and dissolves water dispersible granules to promote rapid formation of agrochemical suspensions in water.
Thickeners/Rheology
METHOCEL™: Cellulose ethers are versatile, water-soluble polymers of methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. These are used as an adhesion aid or “sticker” for seed coatings. They act as a binder in granulation and can help compatibilize liquid solutions, emulsions, and suspensions.
ETHOCEL™: Ethylcellulose polymers are highly insoluble in water; therefore, they can be used as a binder and film-former for water-insoluble coatings. Such coatings have application in the controlled release of active ingredients to aid germination.
POLYOX™: Water-soluble resins help reduce spatter and mist formation of aqueous formulations. This property can make it easier to apply insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides by spraying without fogging or drift to adjacent areas.
Lattice®: Lattice® microcrystalline cellulose forms a unique three-dimensional network in water to trap and suspend active ingredients and oil droplets. It is ideal for providing long-term stability to suspension concentrates and agrochemical emulsions without providing a significant viscosity increase .
SeaSpen®:SeaSpen® Carrageenans are sustainably sourced from red seaweed and serve as biodegradable stabilizing agents for active ingredients and emulsions present in agrochemical formulations. They comply with FDA 40 CFR 180.910, 180.920, and 180.930.
Thermal Fluids

Colorants/Dyes
FSW - FDC Dyes
Dyes and pigments are used in the agrochemical industry in various areas including seed, mulch, fertilizer, foliage, flower, and pond dye coloration applications. The products run the full color range and are available in both liquid and powder forms.
These wide range of polyethylene and polypropylene waxes are used for coating citrus fruits to maintain freshness and flavor by reducing moisture loss. In coatings, Epolene® waxes are useful ingredients in sprayable formulations for herbicides and insecticides used on foliage; emulsions of Epolene® wax improve the wetting and spreading characteristics.
