Clariant advances formulation stability and biological compatibility for improved agriculture at CAC 2026
Swiss specialty chemicals company Clariant has unveiled new solutions aimed at improving formulation stability and biological compatibility in agriculture at the China International Agrochemical & Crop Protection Exhibition (CAC 2026), held from March 17–19 in Shanghai.
The company showcased advanced formulation technologies under its theme “Greater chemistry, better harvests,” highlighting innovations designed to address increasing complexity in crop protection products. Modern formulations often combine multiple active ingredients, biological components, and high electrolyte systems, making stability a key challenge for manufacturers.
A key launch is Dispersogen™ PSL 100, a high-performance polymeric dispersant that enhances stabilization of complex, high-load formulations. It helps control crystal growth, maintain particle size during storage, and ensures compatibility with hard water and salt-rich environments. Importantly, the product is non-hazardous and compatible with microorganisms and seed germination, supporting the growing shift toward biological crop protection.
Clariant also introduced Tonnegel™ 50, a rheology modifier designed to deliver consistent viscosity and coating performance across varying environmental conditions. The product improves seed coating adhesion, reduces abrasion, and supports higher nutrient loading in suspension fertilizers, enhancing efficiency and reducing transport costs.
The innovations reflect a broader industry trend toward sustainable agriculture, particularly the adoption of biologicals. Clariant emphasized that improving formulation stability and biocompatibility is critical to unlocking the full potential of microbial and bio-based crop protection solutions.
