Talc

Talc's plate-like particle structure creates a large surface area and overlapping layered coverage when applied to plant surfaces. This improves adhesion of the agrochemical film to leaf surfaces, reduces wash-off, and enhances the spreading efficiency of dusting powder formulations.

The Micron Talc ED series offers variations in particle size, whiteness, and surface treatment. ED A13 offers controlled purity; ED 4010 White provides enhanced whiteness; ED 4010 White AB includes anti-blocking treatment for improved flow. Each is optimised for specific DP, WP, or bio-pesticide formulation requirements.

Yes. Talc is widely used in bio-pesticide formulations because it is completely non-reactive, does not generate heat or acidic/alkaline conditions, and provides a stable, pH-neutral environment that supports the viability and shelf life of biological active ingredients.

Talc's platy particles and naturally hydrophobic surface create a lubrication effect between other powder particles, reducing inter-particle friction and static. This significantly improves flowability during mixing, filling, packaging, and application of agrochemical powder formulations.

Yes. Talc is used in seed coating and pelleting formulations as a carrier and flow aid. It provides a smooth coating surface, improves seed-to-seed separation, and acts as a carrier for fungicides and insecticides applied as seed treatments.
