Hydroxylgel

Hydroxylgel builds viscosity at rest (high gel strength at zero shear) but shear-thins under agitation or pumping, allowing easy handling and application. This thixotropic profile ensures the formulation remains stable during storage but flows freely when used.

HydroxylGel grades (90T, 70TB) are modified inorganic thickeners for water-based systems with specific thixotropy profiles. ATP Gel grades are attapulgite-based and particularly effective in salt-containing systems and OD formulations where conventional thickeners may fail.

Yes. Hydroxylgel grades are chemically inert and compatible with most agrochemical active ingredients including pyrethroids, organophosphates, fungicides, herbicides, and biological actives. Compatibility testing is recommended for specific formulations at the development stage.

Hydroxylgel is typically used at 0.3–1.5% by weight in suspension concentrate formulations. The exact dosage depends on required viscosity, particle size of the suspended active, and presence of other adjuvants in the formulation.

Yes. Specific hydroxylgel grades, particularly ATP Gel series, are designed for OD and flowable formulations. Their salt-tolerance and compatibility with oil-water interface conditions make them effective stabilisers for these complex agrochemical liquid systems.
