Brands in Agrochemicals

Luwax® range comprises polyethylene waxes, ethylene copolymer waxes, and oxidized polyethylene waxes that help in maximizing the efficiency of pigment use. Depending on the specification for the final product, waxes can increase color strength, lower the quantity of pigment required, or reduce the shear force needed. They also act as lubricants during the molding or extrusion of final goods and are used during the production of pigment masterbatches and compounds as well as for the processing of PVC and polyolefins.

Finely Milled, Powdered Biogenic Aragonite Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)

MASCID® products are Fatty Acid derivatives widely used in the Home and Personal Care industries. They can also be used as a raw material or as an intermediate for pharmaceutical, rubber, plastic, paint and lubricant industries. They are an effective high-quality substitute for many petroleum-based products.

Emulan® grades (C13 oxo alcohol ethoxylates) are nonionic surfactants. They are either liquid formulations, waxy substances, waxy micronized beads or flakes. The products have versatile properties like solubilizing, wetting, dispersing, and soil removal.

Alamine® products are used as salification agents of pH regulators for agrochemical applications. Other applications of Alamine® include use as extraction reagents for recovery of rare earth metals, molybdenum, vanadium, and uranium.

Biogenic Oolitic Aragonite Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)

Clinton is a range of industrial corn starches manufactured by ADM. It consists of unmodified, acid-modified, or oxidized corn starches that can be used in chemical production, paper manufacturing, and thermal conversion processes. These corn starches can be used as a binder, film former, oil absorber, rheology modifier, stabilizer, or texturizer in various applications.

STEPANOL® offers a range of features and benefits, including cleansing, compatibility, creamy texture, dense foam, and effective detergency. It is easy to handle, enhances foam, and has good electrolyte tolerance and wetting properties. STEPANOL® provides high foaming, high purity, and viscosity boosting, with options for low viscosity and mild formulations. It also creates a pearlescent effect and excels in solubilizing. STEPANOL® meets bio-based, credo clean Standard, kosher, natural, and sustainable labeling claims. Ideal for beauty and care, home care, institutional and industrial care, leather and textiles, personal hygiene, pest control, and processing and packaging applications, STEPANOL® ensures high performance and versatility.

GCiC Viscofol foliar formulations offer the best of both suspensions & powders. Significant soluble nutrient available in the VISCOFOL formulation thereby allowing immediate uptake comparable to a sulfate or nitrate, without losing any of the other SC benefits that the farmer values.

Naxonac® products include anionic surfactants, one of the main advantages of phosphate esters is their stability and solubility in alkali systems. They can be used as hydrotropes to couple nonionic surfactants systems which are not soluble and at the same time increase wetting and detergency properties. The presence of the phosphate group imparts some interactions with metallic surfaces, thereby exhibiting some anti-corrosion and metal-adhesion characteristics. They can be used as additives in oil and water-soluble lubricant systems to improve lubricity, anti-frictional properties of the formula. Phosphate esters also find use as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization.

Plurafac® grades are fatty alcohol alkoxylates. They are petrochemically sourced and are low-foaming nonionic surfactants. They consist of alkoxylated, predominantly unbranched fatty alcohols, and they contain higher alkene oxides alongside ethylene oxide. The fatty alcohol chains of some Plurafac® types terminate in an alkyl group. Their most important properties are wetting, low-foaming, or even defoaming. They are used in versatile chemical-technical applications to ensure a smooth process flow. BTC’s low-foaming surfactants are used in the paper & pulp industry or in the metal treatment industry, especially in metalworking fluids. Also in wood-based fiber production, textile pre-treatment, and coatings formulations.

Agnique® grades are anionic surfactants or blends with anionic character and widley used in crop protection formulations (agrochemical formulations) as an adjuvant. Agnique® grades enhance the efficiency of the used pesticide by its physical-chemical properties. Agnique® products have a broad application field. They are used as wetting agents, emulsifiers compatibilizer and formulated blends.

Vapor Gard® is a Pinolene® based product for use on specialty crops as a full-coverage spray to reduce water evapotranspiration. Vapor Gard forms a soft, microscopic film over the leaf and plant surface that reduces the loss of water vapor, minimizing the effects of drought stress. Vapor Gard does not interfere with photosynthesis or respiration, which allows for normal growth and development to continue. The film also protects leaves and fruits against adverse (hot or cold) weather conditions.

Sokalan® range comprises dispersing agents that are used to eliminate or reduce the impact of water hardness ions during the application of the detergent or cleaning formulation. State-of-the-art laundry formulations consist of sodium polyacrylates, like our Sokalan® types.

MAKON® UD-Series of products are fast wetters due to their C11 branched carbon chain. They are faster wetters than nonylphenol ethoxylates (NP) and tridecyl alcohol ethoxylates (TDA). They also have good initial foam height with fast foam break, useful in applications like industrial clean-in-place and laundry.

NACCONOL® is an anionic surfactant providing superior detergency, foaming, wetting and emulsification properties. It is used in household, institutional and industrial detergents,

FoamStar® products are used as defoamers. BTC’s FoamStar® defoamers suppress and destroy foam and its negative effects during inks and printing applications. By removing or inhibiting air bubbles they are important process aids throughout the production as well as the applications process. Manufacturers benefit from foam-free production processes by reaching their desired results much quicker.

MagnaPearl® is a range of mica-based titanium-coated pigments that exhibit a high degree of whiteness combined with brilliance and hiding. They are available in a wide variety of particle sizes creating extraordinary optical effects ranging from a fine-grained luster to a bold silvery-white sparkle. MagnaPearl® effect pigments are pearlescent pigments that are specially engineered. They are available in a variety of particle sizes. BTC’s effect pigments find use in a wide field for the coloration of plastics. They are also suitable for a variety of other industries including the automotive industry as well as the agriculture, building & construction, electrical & electronics, packaging, and textiles & fibers industries. They find also applications in newly emerging markets.
