1. Basic Product Information

• Product Name: Teric N9
• Owning Company: Indorama
• Product Category: Non-ionic polyoxyethylene ether-based surfactant
• Core Application Scenarios: A specialized agricultural pesticide adjuvant compatible with multiple formulations, including emulsifiable concentrates (EC), microemulsions (ME), and oil-in-water emulsions (EW). It is particularly suitable for processing insecticides and fungicides, such as beta-cypermethrin EC and abamectin ME.
• Environmental & Compliance Attributes: Free from restricted components like alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs). It complies with major global environmental regulations (e.g., EU REACH, US EPA) and aligns with the development needs of green agriculture.

2. Physicochemical & Technical Characteristics

2.1 Basic Physicochemical Indicators

• Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid at room temperature, with no obvious mechanical impurities and good visual uniformity.
• Key Parameters: Density is approximately 1.010 g/cm³; viscosity at 25℃ ranges from 20 to 40 mPa·s; pH value (1% aqueous solution) is 5.0–7.0; cloud point (0.1% aqueous solution) is ＜10℃; surface tension (25℃, 0.1% aqueous solution) is ＜22.0 mN/m; active ingredient content can reach 100%. It is miscible with common pesticide solvents (e.g., xylene, mineral oil) and water in any proportion.
• Stability: Stable to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, organic acids, general reducing agents, oxidizing agents, and hard water. It also shows good stability to alkalis. No stratification, precipitation, or abnormal viscosity change occurs when stored at -10℃–60℃ for 6 months.

2.2 Core Functional Features

• High-Efficiency Emulsification & Wetting Capacity: The polyoxyethylene ether segments in its molecular structure can quickly reduce oil-water interfacial tension. The contact angle on paraffin-based surfaces can be reduced to 0°, allowing pesticide active ingredients to rapidly form a stable emulsion with uniform particle size in the dispersion medium. Its emulsification efficiency is superior to that of ordinary surfactants.
• Broad Compatibility: It has good adaptability to multiple types of pesticide active ingredients, including pyrethroids (beta-cypermethrin, bifenthrin), antibiotics (abamectin, ivermectin), and azoles (tebuconazole, hexaconazole). It can be used alone or synergistically with anionic emulsifiers (e.g., alkylbenzenesulfonates).
• Strong Environmental Tolerance: It maintains stable emulsification and wetting performance in hard water (calcium and magnesium ion concentration ≤300ppm) and a wide pH range of 6–9. After 14 days of high-temperature storage at 54℃, the suspension rate attenuation of formulations containing this adjuvant is ≤5%, meeting the requirements of long-distance transportation and long-term storage.
• Low-Foam Property: Minimal foam is generated during formulation processing and field spraying, eliminating the need for additional defoamers and avoiding uneven spraying or reduced efficacy caused by foam.

3. Key Application Technical Points

3.1 Recommended Addition Amount

Adjusted according to the formulation type and active ingredient characteristics, with the following general ranges:

• Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC): 6%–12% of the total formulation mass. For example, 8%–10% is recommended for 25% beta-cypermethrin EC.
• Microemulsions (ME): 8%–15% of the total formulation mass. For example, 10%–12% is recommended for 1.8% abamectin ME.
• Oil-in-Water Emulsions (EW): 5%–10% of the total formulation mass. For example, 7%–9% is recommended for 40% propiconazole EW.

3.2 Addition & Usage Methods

• Compatible Process: Add during the emulsification and mixing stage of the formulation, and stir synchronously with active ingredients, solvents, and other components. Control the stirring speed at 800–1200 r/min, and mix for 15–20 minutes to achieve uniform dispersion.
• Compatibility Taboos: Avoid direct contact with strong acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid) or strong alkalis (e.g., sodium hydroxide) with a concentration >10%, to prevent molecular structure damage and performance failure.

3.3 Typical Application Cases

4. Safety & Compliance Information

• Safe Operation: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and protective glasses during operation to avoid direct contact with skin and mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, rinse with plenty of water for more than 15 minutes immediately; seek medical attention if necessary.
• Storage Requirements: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from fire sources and high-temperature environments, avoid direct sunlight, and control the storage temperature at 0℃–40℃. The shelf life is 18 months.
• Compliance Certifications: It has passed EU REACH registration, US TSCA list registration, and relevant Chinese standard certifications. Complete documents including Safety Data Sheet (SDS), technical specification, and compliance certificate can be provided to support global registration and import-export customs clearance of downstream formulation products.

5. Product Value & Advantages

• Performance Advantages: Combines high-efficiency emulsification and wetting functions, simplifying formulation composition and reducing compatibility risks. It maintains stable performance in a wide temperature range, wide pH range, and hard water environment, adapting to complex application scenarios.
• Cost Advantages: Although it is a professional-grade adjuvant, its low addition amount and high dispersion efficiency reduce the comprehensive adjuvant cost per unit formulation. Compared with similar products, it reduces the use of auxiliary adjuvants such as defoamers, further lowering formulation costs.
• Service Support: Indorama provides professional technical support, including adjusting dosages for mixed active ingredients and offering on-site guidance. Relying on its global supply chain network, it ensures a 98% on-time delivery rate during the agricultural peak season, supporting the stable progress of production plans.
