Croda's Atlox Rheostrux™ Range May Transform Prospects for Oil Dispersion Formulations

Croda’s new Atlox Rheostrux™ range of rheology modifiers for the agrochemical market is set to transform the use of Oil Dispersion (OD) formulations in the industry. The new range includes two products specifically designed for oil systems to provide a step change in ease of use for both the formulation manufacturer and the user, a development which is expected to allow considerably wider use of this increasingly valued formulation type.

ODs structured with Atlox Rheostrux™ agents can be produced and processed more easily and more flexibly than those made with conventional technology. They also have better stability, enhanced suspensibility performance and superior rheology profile, including flow properties which can allow the formulations to be pumped.

The Atlox Rheostrux™ range also includes a unique rheology modifier for acidic aqueous systems and further additions to the range are expected.

This new range is part of Croda’s extensive portfolio of products specific to the agricultural market. Croda supplies formulation aids and adjuvants under respected brand names such as Atlox™ and Atplus™. These products are engineered to bring value added benefits to help crop protection scientist deliver more efficient, more complex and safer formulations.
