Advantages of heavy aromatic solvents for agrochemicals

High purity and tailor-made solvents are crucial for the agrochemical industry. Aromatic solvents must meet the highest standards and guarantee quality in agrochemical applications enabling high crop yields while at the same time offering the highest possible protection of the environment. Haltermann Carless provides an optimised portfolio for the industry and, in addition, a wide range of services.

 

Agricultural industry in transition

The agricultural industry is facing major challenges: A growing global population with an increasing demand for food, feed and crops, combined with global unrest and climate change, resulting in flooding or drought. Modern agriculture relies on the latest techniques and agrochemicals to increase the quality of crop yields and crops.

Innovative crop protection products must be:

  • safe and easy to use for users and consumers
  • effective in application
  • cost-effective
  • environmentally sound

In line with our close cooperation with our customers, recurring themes such as 

  • consistently high quality
  • process reliability
  • stability of agrochemical formulations   

are among the most important requirements of agrochemical companies.
