Wacker’s adjuvants include cyclodextrins, rheology modifiers, silicone defoamers, and wetting and spreading agents, which provide different functionality to crop protection formulations. For instance, Wacker’s cyclodextrin adjuvants provide host-guest benefits, where a bigger molecule can hold an active ingredient, Imlinger explained. Why biologicals require specific formulation considerationsWhile providing adjuvants for both synthetic actives and biologicals, Wacker is anticipating strong growth in biologics given their role in sustainable farming, Imlinger noted. Developing bio-based ag products require specific considerations when it comes to application, stability, solubility, and other factors. Given these unique challenges, Wacker works hand-in-hand with ag clients to ensure that they understand the proper use of adjuvants in their formulations, Imlinger explained.
