AkzoNobel's products for solvency can be found under the Armid® trade name. They are amides with known applications in the formulation of triazole fungicides.
Always seeking to meet the ‘un-met' needs of our customers, we are developing new products to improve solvency and anti-crystallization performance and/or to minimize some objectionable attributes of the amide chemistry.
Trends
- Safer formulations
- Increased complexity of formulations (multiple actives)
- Increased regulatory pressure
- Ban or restriction of solvents, such as NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone)
We are focused on finding solvents that can effectively replace NMP performance in emulsifiable concentrates and in soluble liquids.
Targets
- Low odor
- Low volatility
- High flash point
- Low aquatic toxicity
- Low water solubility
- High solubility factor
- Biodegradable
