Crop protection

Lignins are frequently used in the production of pesticides in the form of water-dispersible powders, granules or aqueous suspension concentrates.

During the manufacture of these products, the lignin coats the surface of the active substances, which simultaneously results in a negative charging of the substance particles.

The particles, which are now negatively charged and dispersed in water, repel each other. This prevents re-agglomeration. Powdered products that are manufactured with lignin are very easily dispersed in water.

Le lignosulfonate est un dérivé de la lignine très soluble et un produit issu du procédé de fabrication au bisulfite.

Our lignin is used in a variety of industrial and agricultural areas for various applications.
