AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH is an anionic emulsifier used mainly in agrochemical formulations.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH is based on alkylbenzene sulfonate dissolved in 2-ethylhexanol and contains approximately 60% active material.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH helps oil-based pesticide and crop protection formulations disperse properly in water and form stable emulsions.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH is commonly used in EC, EW, SE, and similar agrochemical systems to improve formulation stability and performance.
Uses of AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH:
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH is used as an anionic emulsifier in agrochemical formulations, especially in EC, EW, SE, OD, herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide systems.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH helps oil-based pesticide formulations disperse properly in water and form stable oil-in-water emulsions.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH improves emulsification performance, reduces oil separation, and supports better physical stability and formulation uniformity.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH is commonly used together with non-ionic castor oil ethoxylate emulsifiers such as AGNIQUE CSO 35 when hydrophobic agrochemical active ingredients need to be converted into stable and sprayable formulations.
Benefits of AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH:
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH improves the emulsification performance of agrochemical formulations by helping oil-based active ingredients disperse evenly in water.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH supports the formation of stable oil-in-water emulsions, reduces phase separation, and improves the physical stability of pesticide formulations.
AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH also helps create more uniform and sprayable formulations, which can improve handling and application performance.
Because it works well with non-ionic emulsifiers such as castor oil ethoxylates, AGNIQUE ABS 60 C-EH is useful for building stable EC, EW, SE, and OD formulation systems.
