Formulation

Diachem formulates chemical products for agriculture belonging to different families: herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, fertilizers, biological products and others (baits, tackifiers …). The implementation of an internal prevention system against “cross contamination”, between the shares of which stands out the complete separation of departments and facilities dedicated to different product families, ensures full compliance in terms of quality and safety of the formulations. Thanks to the flexibility and the dynamism typical of a medium enterprise, Diachem is able to formulate agrochemicals and fertilizers in full service (with all components procured from internal service supply) or in contract work.

LIQUID FORMULATION

EC & SL Water-based and solvent-based liquids

DIACHEM is equipped with formulation lines for water-based and solvent-based liquids which allow temperature monitoring, along with the creation of micro-emulsions, and nitrogen inertization. For active ingredients not soluble in water , DIACHEM is also able to realize salification at a controlled temperature

ECLiquid formulation in which the active ingredient is dissolved in one or more organic solvents and added  with emulsifying products to make it compatible with the water , means by which the product will be diluted for use .
The parameters necessary to have a good quality formulation are : physical stability ( must not exhibit phenomena of crystallization and / or phase separation ), chemically stability  and compatibility with most of the mixtures used. .

SLLiquid formulation in which the active ingredient is dissolved in water , all the components of the formulation SL are solubilized in the aqueous mixture to be sprayed , which is in the form of a clear solution . SL formulations are prepared only for active ingredients with a high solubility . The parameters necessary to have a good quality of the formulation are : complete solubility of the active ingredient, chemically stability  and compatibility with most of the mixtures used.

SC   Liquid suspension Concentrate (Flowable) based on water or oil

In the 80’s Diachem was one of the pioneer company in Italy and Europe in the formulation of suspension concentrates (SC); 30 years after Diachem remains one of the pioneer for this type of production.

SCLiquid formulation in which the active ingredient is suspended in water or oil (SC), finely micronized (between 3 and 6 μ) and added with wetting and dispersing agents which enhance the biological activity. Completing the formulation thickeners, defoamers and anti-bacterial / anti-mold. The micronization is particularly effective in improving the action of fungicide products.
The parameters necessary to have a good quality formulation are: suspension stability, absence of thickening phenomena, surface separation  and  bottom separation, crystal growth, and compatible with most of the mixture used.

EW   Emulsions in water and oil

EWAqueous liquid formulation (product appearance is milky) in which the active ingredient and / or a small amount of solvent (mineral or vegetable) admixed with a small amount of surfactant is emulsified in water using mechanical stirring at high shear (turboemulsifier) obtaining fineness of the emulsion comprised between 1 and 3 μ. Completing the formulation thickeners, defoamers and anti-bacterial / anti-mold.
The parameters necessary to have a good quality  formulation are : emulsion stability , absence thickening phenomena , surface separation  and  bottom separation , and compatibility with most of the mixture used .

CS Capsule Suspension

CSLiquid formulation in which the active substance and possibly a small portion of a suitable solvent is finely emulsified in water (suspended in the solvent) and covered with a thin, biodegradable polymeric film (microcapsule) which gradually releases it (release in a controlled manner). This formulation has excellent stability, good persistence of action and allows to obtain a notable decrease in acute toxicity.
The parameters necessary to have a good quality of the formulation are: suspension stability, absence of crystallization phenomena, granulometry optimization.

SOLID FORMULATION

WP & DP   Wettable and dry powders

WPSolid formulation obtained usually by mixing the active ingredient with the dispersants, bathers and inert, and grinding and/or milling (3-5 µ) together all the components.
The parameters necessary to have a good quality formulation are: the product must not packaging in time, it must have a good wettability and a good suspensory and it must be compatible with most of the mixture used.

DPSolid formulation obtained usually by mixing the active ingredient with the dispersants, bathers and inert, and grinding together all the components.
Differently than the formulations WP mode of use, dust DP are not dispersed in water but used dry and are used primarily in the treatment of seeds

GR & SG & WG   Granular ready to use, granular water soluble and water dispersible granular

Diachem has three production processes for the formulation of granular: formulation by “spraying of the active ingredient on an inert granular support” (coating), ” formulation by “compaction”, and formulation by “wet granulation and subsequent drying with fluid bed”.

GRSolid formulation, the use of which provides for the distribution of the dry granules. The parameters necessary to have a good quality of the formulation are: the product should not pack in time, should not be dusty or disintegrate.

SGSolid formulation with soluble ative ingredient, the use of which involves  the dispersion of the granules in water. The parameters necessary to have a good quality formulation are: the product should not pack in time, should not be dusty, must have good wettability and good suspensory in water.

WGSolid formulation in which the components (active ingredient, dispersants, inert) are homogenized, and micronized and at the end granulated. The use involves the dispersion of the granules in water. The parameters necessary to have a good quality formulation are: the product should not pack in time, should not be dusty, must have good wettability and a good suspensory in water.
