     Introduction to Cartap Hydrochloride and Thiosultap-sodium
     Cartap Hydrochloride and Thiosultap-sodium (Monosultap) are two active ingredients from the Nereistoxin group – an important class of bio-insecticides in agriculture. Derived from the natural toxin of marine worms, these compounds effectively control a wide range of pests on rice, vegetables, and fruit crops.

     However, during production and storage, formulations containing Cartap Hydrochloride and Thiosultap-sodium often face a critical issue: package swelling caused by gas generation and water leakage. This not only affects product quality but also creates challenges in handling, storage, and transportation.

     Amigos’ Stabilization Solutions

     Stanox™ C3 – Anti-swelling solution for Cartap Hydrochloride
      Stanox™ C3 is a specialized stabilizer developed to effectively eliminate the issue of package swelling in formulations containing Cartap Hydrochloride. It works by preventing decomposition and gas release, while also controlling moisture to minimize water leakage.

     Stanox™ Nerix – Stabilizer for Thiosultap-sodium (Monosultap)
      Stanox™ Nerix is specially designed to stabilize Thiosultap-sodium (Monosultap), another Nereistoxin compound. This product is a blend of amorphous silicon dioxide combined with an anionic surfactant, offering multiple benefits:

  • Effectively suppresses gas formation
  • Prevents water leakage
  • Ensures product stability during storage
  • Enhances wetting and dispersibility in WP formulations, especially when combined with poorly dispersible or hard-to-wet active ingredients

     Outstanding Benefits of Stabilizers

Key features include:

  • Clear solubility: Fully dissolves without turbidity, suitable for SP (soluble powder) and WP (wettable powder) formulations
  • Long-term protection: Ensures packaging integrity and storage stability without swelling
  • Enhanced adhesion: The liquid version, Stanox™ C4-LQ, provides uniform binding of active ingredients with carriers, especially suitable for GR (granule) formulations

     Stanox™ C5 – Adapted to modern production technology
     With advancements in Cartap manufacturing technology, new challenges for product stability have emerged. To address this, Amigos has developed Stanox™ C5, an advanced stabilizer designed to be compatible with the latest production processes.

     Through continuous research and innovation, Amigos is committed to supporting customers with optimal stabilization solutions for all production methods—contributing to the improvement of agrochemical product quality in Vietnam.
