Solid State Properties

solid state properties depend on the crystal form

knowledge about (meta)stable solid forms of active ingredients (AIs) is important for production formulation storage application

Agrochemical FormulationActive x Active

the majority of agrochemical formulations include more than one active ingredient

up to four actives ingredients

less resistance building

broader application window

cooperative effects

stronger curative effect
