Dispersants
Dispersants prevent particles from agglomerating or aggregating during the milling process, in the formulation concentrate, and after dilution into the spray tank. Stepan offers a variety of steric and electrosteric products for use as dispersants in agricultural formulations.
Products Highlights:
STEP-FLOW® 4000 is a water soluble “comb” polymer dispersant for use in capsule suspension (CS) and suspension concentrates (SC). A complimentary product is STEP-FLOW 4894-SC.
STEPFAC™ 8181 PT3K is a 100% active, potassium-neutralized phosphate ester for use in oil dispersions (OD).
Carrier oils include STEPOSOL® ME, STEPOSOL ROE-W, STEPAN® C-42 and STEPAN C-65.
The STEPSPERSE® DF-Series offers traditional liquid surfactants in a dry form for use in water dispersible granules (WG) and wettable powders (WP).
Complimentary products include STEPWET® DF-90 and STEPWET DF-95.
Solvents
Stepan offers a portfolio of green solvents for use in solvent-based agricultural formulations. Each product offers different characteristics to meet your formulation needs, whether they be high-pesticide solubility, low volatile organic compound (VOC), low irritation or others. These solvents can also make robust emulsions when optimized with Stepan emulsifiers.
Product Highlights:
Amides: HALLCOMID® M-8-10 displays a broad range of properties, including excellent solubility in organic solvents, low vapor pressure and heat and hydrolysis stability.
Methyl Esters: STEPAN® C-42 is a naturally derived, biodegradable solvent and STEPOSOL® ME is a methyl ester derived from soybean oil.
Specialty Solvents: STEPAN 108 is a caprylic/capric triglyceride made using glycerin from vegetable oil sources and medium-chain fatty acids from coconut and/or palm kernel oil.
Adjuvants
Adjuvants are a broad range of products that, when added to a formulation or tank mix, offer efficacy enhancement or application improvement. These can be tank mixed separately or added into a formulation.
Product Highlights:
STEPAN® 3109-6 is a specially formulated blend of surfactants designed for use in glyphosate formulations. STEPAN 3705-44, another formulated blend, is designed for soluble liquids (SL) formulations.
STEPGROW™ CT is a tank mix compatibility adjuvant designed to help eliminate the challenges of complex tank mixes and delivers superior performance in spray applications.
Emulsifiers
Stepan offers a wide range of surfactants that allow for micelle formation of an oil phase within a water phase and inversely. These include anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants of varying HLBs and surfactant blends.
Product Highlights:
Stepan’s single component emulsifier portfolio includes alkoxylated hydrophobes, phosphate esters and their salts, as well as alkylbenzene sulfonates and their salts.
TOXIMUL® 8320 is a nonionic surfactant used to emulsify systems heavy in chlorinated solvents and pesticides, and has a lowered pour point to reduce any handling issues.
The TOXIMUL® 3470F Series of products are anionic/nonionic surfactant blends that can be used as effective emulsifier blends for pesticide concentrates. These products can be used individually or in combination with any other in the series:
