Croda Atlox PN-100 Wetting Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Atlox PN-100 in agrochemical formulations?

A: Atlox PN-100 is a nonionic polymeric wetting agent designed to rapidly reduce surface tension and enhance substrate wetting—particularly on hydrophobic leaf surfaces—improving spray droplet spread, retention, and active ingredient delivery in aqueous agrochemical concentrates such as SC, SE, and OD formulations.

Q2: Is Atlox PN-100 compatible with common pesticides and adjuvants?

A: Yes—Atlox PN-100 exhibits broad compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients (including acidic, basic, and neutral actives), co-surfactants, solvents, and thickeners typically used in modern agrochemical systems. Compatibility should always be verified empirically in the final formulation due to system-specific interactions.

Q3: How does Atlox PN-100 differ from conventional alkylphenol ethoxylates or linear alcohol ethoxylates?

A: Unlike traditional nonionic surfactants, Atlox PN-100 is a tailored polymeric architecture offering superior wetting persistence, reduced foaming, improved hard water tolerance, and enhanced formulation stability—without relying on alkylphenol chemistry, aligning with evolving regulatory and sustainability expectations.

Q4: What is the typical dosage range for Atlox PN-100 in end-use formulations?

A: Dosage is formulation-dependent, but Atlox PN-100 is typically effective at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the concentrate—allowing efficient performance without compromising viscosity or phase stability.
