Product Category: Specialized additive for emulsion in water (EW) formulations (presumed to be a non-ionic or anionic-nonionic composite emulsifying stabilizer, belonging to the GERONOL series, focusing on optimization of pesticide EW formulations)
Core Positioning: A functional additive specifically designed for pesticide emulsions in water (EW). It emphasizes emulsifying, dispersing, and system-stabilizing functions. By optimizing oil-water interface performance, it ensures the physical stability of EW formulations (e.g., anti-stratification, anti-flocculation) and is compatible with EW formulations containing various pesticide active ingredients.
2. Key Performance and Technical Features
High-Efficiency Emulsifying Capacity: Contains lipophilic and hydrophilic groups in its molecular structure, which can rapidly reduce oil-water interfacial tension. It uniformly disperses pesticide technicals (oil phase) into fine droplets (typically 1-5μm), forming a stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion and preventing droplet coalescence.
Excellent Stabilizing Performance: Forms a strong interfacial film on the surface of oil droplets, enhancing the emulsion’s resistance to shear and temperature fluctuations. It effectively inhibits stratification, sedimentation, and demulsification of EW formulations during storage or use, extending the product’s shelf life.
Broad Compatibility: Compatible with various types of pesticide technicals (e.g., insecticides, fungicides, herbicides) and adaptable to oil phases of different polarities (e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons, ester solvents). This reduces the difficulty of formulation screening and is suitable for both conventional and high-content EW systems.
Low Irritation and Environmental Friendliness: Presumed to be free of restricted components such as APEO, complying with environmental standards for pesticide additives. It also exhibits high crop safety without affecting pesticide efficacy, supporting the development of green pesticide formulations.
3. Main Application Fields
Pesticide Emulsions in Water (EW): Core application in various pesticide EW formulations, such as abamectin EW, propiconazole EW, and glyphosate ammonium salt EW. As an emulsifying stabilizer, it improves system stability, ensuring uniformity during spraying and consistent efficacy.
Other Oil-in-Water Emulsion Systems: Can be used as an auxiliary emulsifier in fine chemical fields requiring stable O/W emulsions (e.g., water-based release agents, specialty emulsion coatings) to enhance emulsion dispersibility and storage stability.
4. Usage and Storage Specifications
Recommended Dosage: Typically 3%-8% of the total system mass, adjusted according to technical content and oil phase proportion. Small-scale trials are recommended to determine the optimal dosage (higher proportions may be needed for high-oil-phase systems).
Usage Method: Suggested to be added during the emulsification stage. Premix with the oil phase or water phase, then use shear emulsification equipment (e.g., high-shear homogenizers) to promote dispersion. It can be compounded with other emulsifiers or thickeners to enhance synergistic effects.
Packaging Specifications: Available in industrial standard packaging, such as 25kg plastic buckets and 200kg iron drums, facilitating storage and transportation.
Storage Conditions: Store in a sealed, cool, and dry environment (5-35℃). Avoid freezing at low temperatures, exposure to high-temperature sunlight, and contact with strong acids or alkalis. The shelf life is generally 24 months when unopened.
