Thickeners for the Agricultural Sector

Thickeners for the agricultural sector are agents that confer higher viscosity to the solutions in which they are incorporated. These compounds play a crucial role in creating agrochemical formulations that are easy to handle and ensure precise application. 

Controlled Viscosity: Thickeners in the agricultural sector allow adjusting the viscosity of solutions, facilitating application and preventing excessive dispersion. 

Improved Adhesion: They contribute to better adhesion of agrochemicals to plant surfaces, ensuring uniform distribution.

Drift Reduction: They help reduce solution drift during application, minimizing environmental risk. 

Easy Mixing: They facilitate the mixing of agrochemicals with other components, such as active ingredients and adjuvants. 

Stability: They provide stability to formulations, resulting in longer shelf life of products. 

Compatibility: They are compatible with a wide variety of agrochemicals and fertilizers, facilitating the creation of customized solutions. 

Less Waste: By improving adhesion and reducing drift, thickeners minimize the amount of agrochemicals wasted. 

Herbicides: Thickeners are used in herbicides to ensure that products adhere to weed leaves.

Fungicides: They contribute to the creation of effective fungicides that protect crops from diseases. 

Insecticides: They are incorporated into insecticides to increase adhesion and enhance their action. 

Liquid Fertilizers: Thickeners are used in the manufacture of liquid fertilizers for uniform application. 

Crop Protection Products: They are employed in phytosanitary products that address a variety of agricultural challenges. 

Increased Effectiveness: Thickeners in the agricultural sector improve the adhesion of agrochemicals to plants, resulting in greater efficacy.

Less Drift: They contribute to reducing chemical drift during application, decreasing environmental impact. 

Ease of Application: Controlled viscosity facilitates the application of agrochemicals and minimizes undesired dispersion. 

Easy Mixing: Thickeners in the agricultural sector allow efficient mixing of components, ensuring homogeneous formulations. 

Reduction of Losses: By increasing adhesion, agrochemical waste is minimized, resulting in economic savings.
