Crop protection products including fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and plant growth regulators are complex formulations, and they are essential for protecting crops from diseases, insects and weeds.

Ingevity's adjuvants and dispersants provide easier handling and better performance for different formulations including water-dispersible granules (WDG), suspension concentrates (SC), wettable powder (WP), oil dispersion (OD), suspoemulsion (SE), emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and capsule suspension (CS).

Our long-lasting research legacy in lignin process chemistry and robust engineering control provides us with a wide range of high-quality lignosulfonate products satisfying your diverse formulation needs. In contrast to sulfite lignin products where the sulfonation chemistry is done by the paper mill, Ingevity's main objective is focused on lignin chemistry. Our lignin is derived from the kraft process which isolates unsulfonated lignin. This gives us the ability to control the chemical architecture in our production facility resulting in lignosulfonate products that have consistent quality, a wide array of physical properties and high performance in various formulations.

AltaBio™ - Sustainable dispersants that meet the complex challenges of biological formulations

Ingevity's newest line of next generation kraft lignosulfonate dispersants, AltaBio, is designed specifically for challenging microorganism formulations, including wettable powder (WP), water dispersible granules (WDG) and suspension concentrates (SC).

AltaBio is a new generation of dispersants specifically designed to meet the complex challenges of biological formulations. Based on kraft lignosulfonate technology, the AltaBio product line offers excellent safety, suspensibility and wettability for SC, WP and WDG formulations. Due to AltaBio’s high dispersing efficiency, it has also proven to be very effective for many challenging formulations with high loading conventional active ingredients, such as chlorothalonil and mancozeb at low dispersant use rate.
