During the 2025 China International Agrochemical and Crop Protection Exhibition (CAC), Clariant unveiled its next-generation solutions for biologicals and innovative approaches to sustaining plant health by optimising soil water management
As global population continues to grow, climate change is posing a major threat to agriculture and food security. To combat these challenges, Clariant has launched an advanced soil adjuvent that is aimed at optimising the efficiency of water used for sustainable agricultural practices. This helps improve vertical and lateral water movement within the soil, thereby ensuring a consistent distribution of moisture.
The Synergen Guard range was in focus at CAC 2025. This included Synergen Guard 100, a performance booster and rainfastness agent for biologicals. This innovative nano-emulsion-based tank-mix adjuvant contains renewable wax and is produced by a unique proprietary highly efficient emulsification technology. It is biocompatible with a broad range of microorganisms, giving a powerful boost in coverage, efficacy, and rain protection to the biocontrol agent.
Besides this, Clariant will also be showcasing its new Dispersogen TP 100 T and the Sapogenat T range. The former is a high-performance anionic dispersing agent that finds application in suspension concentrate (SC) and can be used in conventional SC formulations with high cost-effectiveness, under a recommended dosage ranging approximately between 3-5%. It can also be used to solve common SC issues such as poor wetting, rapid growth of particle size, viscosity build-up, bad flowability, and even pseudoplastic and creaming issues. The latter on the other hand, has been designed as a replacement for nonylphenol ethoxolates (NPE), which has been restricted since March 2023. It functions as a non-ionic emulsifier based on tri-sec-butylphenol with various ethoxylation degrees. Considered the best-performing NPE alternative, it offers excellent emulsification power, making it a good wetter capable of increasing pesticide efficacy in foliar application.
Clariant's innovative solutions will be on display at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre from 17-19 March in Shangahai.
