Ashland has launched agrimer eco-disperse OD TVO polymeric dispersant globally, expanding its Transformed Vegetable Oils (TVO) technology platform with a patented, nature-based solution for non-aqueous crop protection formulations.

 

The new dispersant is designed to help agrochemical formulators balance performance demands with growing sustainability requirements and increasingly complex regulatory expectations. It enables the stabilization and uniform dispersion of water-insoluble active ingredients, supporting formulation stability, application efficiency and overall product performance.

 

Derived from transformed vegetable oil, agrimer eco-disperse OD is inherently biodegradable and microplastic-free. The technology is designed to improve dispersion stability, leaf adhesion, coverage and rain fastness while reducing formulation issues such as active ingredient settling and nozzle clogging.

 

Ashland said the dispersant also offers broad formulation compatibility, ease of use and a competitive cost-in-use profile, giving formulators greater flexibility in developing suspension concentrates and other non-aqueous formulations.

 

"Ashland is again converting sustainable science into differentiated commercial solutions that create value for our customers," said Alessandra Faccin, senior vice president and general manager, Life Sciences, Ashland. 

 

"Agrimer eco-disperse OD expands our TVO platform with a patented technology that helps formulators achieve both sustainability and performance objectives. It reflects the type of innovation that strengthens our portfolio, supports profitable growth and advances our commitment to solving complex formulation challenges."

 

Jean J. Gulka, global business director, Life Sciences, Ashland, added, "The launch of agrimer eco-disperse OD represents more than a new product introduction. It reinforces the scalability and versatility of our innovative TVO technology platform and validates our strategy of investing in differentiated technologies that can address global sustainability trends while delivering tangible customer value. We continue to advance additional opportunities within the platform and view TVO as an important engine for future innovation and growth."

 

The launch is part of Ashland’s strategy to strengthen long-term value creation through innovation-led growth. The company said samples and commercial quantities of agrimer eco-disperse OD are available globally.
