Agro chemical additives > for crop protection
BTC offers an extensive portfolio of tools for the formulator of crop protection products. Our range for the pesticide inerts and adjuvants segments function as dispersants, wetting agents,
emulsifiers, solvents, and compatibilizers in building stable, effective, and safe formulations. Our micronutrients provide a highly bioavailable form of metal nutrient to plants.
Inert solvents & co-solvents for crop protection
Solvents dissolve active ingredients for crop protection. The solvent selection is depending on the active ingredient structure and the application technology. Polar solvents are used as co-solvent, besides a solvent for the active ingredient.
