Suspension Concentrate (SC)

Suspension Concentrate (SC) is a liquid formulation of pesticide in which insoluble active ingredients are finely dispersed in an aqueous phase with the aid of dispersing agents, wetting agents, and other stabilizing additives. This formulation is dust-free, safe, environmentally friendly, and increasingly adopted as a preferred alternative to traditional forms such as Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC) and Wettable Powders (WP)

SC – The Optimal Choice Thanks to Outstanding Advantages

  • Dust-free formulation
  • Easy to use, can be diluted with water at any desired ratio
  • Water-based dispersion system, more environmentally friendly than oil-based emulsifiable concentrates (EC)
  • Low phytotoxicity risk, with higher field efficacy compared to EC and WP formulations
  • Free of flammable solvents, offering greater safety during storage, transportation, and manufacturing
  • Compatible with adjuvants to enhance performance
  • Low raw material cost

Despite Its Advantages, SC Still Has Certain Limitations

  • Requires solid active ingredients with a melting point above 60°C
  • Active ingredients must be water-stable and have low solubility (< 500 mg/L)
  • Prone to crystallization issues
  • Incompatible with water-soluble active substances
  • High capital investment required for manufacturing facilities
  • Long production time and complex operational procedures
  • Packaging is difficult to clean, posing a risk of secondary contamination
  • Challenges in ensuring long-term formulation stability
  • Poor stability upon dilution

The Key to a Successful Suspension Concentrate (SC) Formulation

The manufacturing process of Suspension Concentrate (SC) involves multiple stages, including: - Preparation of xanthan gum and the mill base - Bead milling to achieve fine particle size - Rheology modification to adjust viscosity and ensure product stability The typical components found in an SC formulation include:
STT Ingredients % Quantity (w/w)
01 Active ingredient 20 – 70
02 Dispersing agents 2 – 10
03 Additives 0 – 25
04 Thickeners 0,1 – 0,5
05 Antifreeze 5 – 10
06 Antifoaming agents 0,2
07 Preservatives 0,1
08 Water q.s 100
