Polymer adjuvants and coating binders for pesticide formulations, controlled-release fertiliser coatings, seed treatment, and soil conditioners — improving efficacy, handling, and environmental profile of agrochemical products.

Pesticide AdjuvantFertilizer CoatingSeed TreatmentSoil ConditionerControlled Release

Market Overview

Modern agrochemical formulations rely on polymer science to maximise active ingredient efficacy while minimising environmental impact. Polymers serve multiple roles: as sticking and spreading agents for foliar spray applications, as coating matrices for controlled-release fertilisers and soil conditioners, and as binders and film-formers for seed treatment products.

JCT Chemical supplies film-forming polymers, rheology modifiers, and wetting agents to agrochemical formulators and crop nutrition manufacturers. Our products are selected for low eco-toxicity, compatibility with common active ingredients, and stability across the storage temperatures encountered in agricultural supply chains.

Application Areas

Pesticide Adjuvants
Spreading, sticking, and penetration adjuvants for herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide spray formulations. Improves foliar coverage, rainfastness, and active ingredient uptake.
Recommended: JCT-WD110, JCT-A100 (film former)
Fertiliser Coatings
Polymer coatings for controlled- and slow-release nitrogen fertilisers (urea, ammonium nitrate). Film-forming polymer controls nutrient release rate and duration.
Recommended: JCT-A200, JCT-SA320
Seed Treatment
Film-forming binders for seed treatment formulations — ensures uniform coating adhesion, colour, and compatibility with fungicide and insecticide active ingredients.
Recommended: JCT-A100, JCT-SA350
