Bespoke amphoterics & phosphate esters for the agrochem sector
Agrochem is a fast-moving sector, continually balancing food supply chain demands within an ever-evolving regulatory landscape. Lakeland’s technical laboratory team in Manchester works alongside clients during the development of bespoke agrochem surfactant products, with regulatory support from our QSHE Manager available to support applications for usage approvals.
Lakeland Laboratories in Manchester develops amphoterics that are used together with phosphate esters by agrochem organisations to enhance the spreading, wetting, and adhesion of agrochemicals on plant surfaces, ensuring better coverage and absorption of pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers, as well as offering foaming properties that allow personnel to see the areas already treated more easily.
Lakeland’s REACH approvals (TSCA in the USA) ensure agrochem surfactant supply from an experienced team in Manchester enjoying excellent understanding of regulatory requirements and the features of our agrochem surfactant product range, which not only meet statutory objectives but carry exceptional performance when in use.
Our Work: Lakeland Laboratories’ speciality agrochem surfactants for leading agriculture supplier
A leading global supplier of fertilisers to the international commercial agriculture sector, our client improves crop yields through continual innovation in fertilisers, nutrients and related environmental products.
Lakeland enjoys excellent understanding of agrochem processes and surfactant products, enabling us to quickly establish our client’s requirements. Choosing to work with us as a result of our supply guarantees, Lakeland’s team built strong channels of communication with our client from the outset to ensure optimal performance from our products.
Our client approached us with a brief to develop a bespoke phosphate ester which would support crop growth in South America and tropical climates where soils are deficient in specific heavy metals.
When applied through our bespoke surfactant, heavy metals are suspended and sprayed across the farming area for an even distribution of product, enhancing soils with nutrients in which they are otherwise deficient, which in turn enables crop yields to grow and flourish. With expert product development in our laboratory, on-site manufacture and distribution, Lakeland was pleased to support the production of this bespoke agrochem blend.
