Formulation Aids for Crop Protection
Pharcos manufactures specialty emulsifiers and dispersants specifically designed for pesticide formulation. Our products are critical for creating stable emulsifiable concentrates (ECs), suspension concentrates (SCs), and other advanced formulation types that maximize the efficacy and shelf life of active ingredients.
Application Areas
EC Formulations
Styrenated Phenol Ethoxylates (Pharcos SP) at 15-25 moles combined with calcium DDBS provide robust emulsifier systems for ECs. The SP/CaDDBS ratio determines water hardness tolerance and emulsion stability.
SC Formulations
High HLB ethoxylates (Pharcos C 30, C 80) serve as wetting and dispersing agents for suspension concentrates, improving particle size reduction and preventing sedimentation.
Adjuvant Tank Mixes
Polysorbates (Pharcos PS) and Castor Oil Ethoxylates (Pharcos CE) improve spray solution properties when added as tank-mix adjuvants for improved foliar uptake.

Common Questions
Questions about our pesticides solutions
For EC formulations, our standard recommendation is Pharcos SP (Styrenated Phenol Ethoxylates) at a blend of SP 15 and SP 25 combined with calcium DDBS. Typical emulsifier loadings are 5-10% of the total formulation. We can provide specific ratios based on your active ingredient and solvent system.
