【FAT Video】OIL DISPERSION Formulation Challenges and Stepan Agricultural Solutions

Schrikant Aherkar, Lead Scientist, Stepan Agricultural Solutions – Asia Pacific delivered a speech titled ″OIL DISPERSION Formulation Challenges and Stepan Agricultural Solutions″ at the2nd Ag Formulation & Application Technology Congress  (FAT 2020) during 17-18, December 2020 in Hangzhou, China. During the Congress, Schrikant stressed on the difficulties in development of OD formulations as well as Stepan’s series solutions and application practices. OD formulations are a fast-growing type of pesticide formulation in recent years, which is environment friendly, with a high efficacy. However, the existing OD formulations have in general got problems such as segregation, precipitation, excessive viscosity, easy agglomeration and poor stability in case of long-time storage, which seriously hinder the sound development of OD formulations.

To tackle the above problems, Stepan has launched a series of anionic and nonionic dispersants and solvents, represented by the multi-functional  STEPFAC™ 8181 PT3K, the high-efficient STEPGROW™ RM 1001 rheology modifier, the versatile emulsifier STEPGROW AB 1005 and the oil suspension solvents such as the methyl oleate STEPOSOL^® OE, soybean oil methyl STEPOSOL^® ME, the coconut oil methyl STEPAN^® C-65 and  C-42, and the triglyceride STEPAN 108.

Stepan is committed to providing environment-friendly and innovative solutions to customers worldwide. For the Asian market, Stepan provides customers with unique solutions, including glufosinate and pinoxaden synergistic adjuvants, tank-mix adjuvants, characteristic dispersants, complete OD formulation solutions, green solvents and clethodim emulsifiers.
