Solid Actives in Oil for Water-Sensitive Applications
Learn more...
Blend additives formulated with solid active ingredients dispersed in oil offer a powerful solution for water-sensitive compounds, ensuring strong leaf adhesion, rainfastness, and optimized biological efficacy.
Key Features
Oil-based dispersion: No water in the concentrate
Fine particle size: Improves foliar coverage and uptake
Pre-emulsified system: Instantly compatible with spray tank water
Stable performance: Maintains efficacy under variable field conditions
Low volatility: Safer for sensitive crops and environments
Advantages
Ideal for lipophilic actives that degrade in aqueous systems
Enhances penetration and retention on waxy or hairy leaf surfaces
Reduces reapplication frequency due to improved rainfastness
Compatible with biostimulants, fungicides, and micronutrients
Can be tailored for organic or eco-friendly programs
Typical Components
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Solid active ingredient | Lipophilic pesticide or biostimulant |
| Oil carrier (e.g. MSO, vegetable esters) | Dispersion medium and adjuvant |
| Emulsifiers | Enable water compatibility upon dilution |
| Dispersants | Maintain particle suspension in oil |
| Rheology modifiers | Prevent sedimentation and phase separation |
| Stabilizers & antifoam | Improve shelf life and sprayability |
Common Uses
Lipophilic fungicides: e.g. copper-based, sulfur, azoxystrobin
Biostimulants: Seaweed extracts, amino acids, humic substances
Micronutrients: Zinc, manganese, boron in oil-dispersible form
Biologicals: Spores or microbial actives requiring oil protection
