Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO) is obtained by hydrogenation of castor oil, with high melting point, good stability, excellent lubricity and emulsification. in agriculture, hydrogenated castor oil is widely used in many fields due to its unique properties:
1. Pesticide additives
Features: As an emulsifier, thickener and stabilizer, it is used in pesticide emulsion, suspension agent and other dosage forms. Improve the dispersibility and adhesion of pesticides, and enhance the efficacy.
Advantages:
High Stability: High temperature and acid and alkali resistance, suitable for a variety of pesticide formulations
Environmental Friendly: Good biodegradability, reduce environmental pollution.
2. Foliar Fertilizer And Nutrients
Features: As a thickening agent and adhesive for foliar fertilizer, it helps the fertilizer to adhere evenly to the surface of the leaf. Improve the permeability and absorption efficiency of foliar fertilizer.
Advantages: Good compatibility: compatible with a variety of fertilizer ingredients, does not affect fertilizer efficiency.
Reduce runoff: Increase the resistance of fertilizer to rain.
3. Seeds Treatment
Features: It is used as seed coating agent to improve the disease resistance and germination rate of seeds as a lubricant to reduce mechanical damage during seed sowing.
Advantages:
High safety: Non-toxic to seeds, suitable for a variety of crops
Versatility: Can be used in combination with other bio stimulants or pesticides.
4. Soil Improvement And Water Retention
Features: As a soil conditioner, it improves soil structure, enhances water retention and air permeability. It is used in the formulation of water retaining agent to reduce the evaporation loss of water under drought conditions.
Advantages:
Biodegradability: Harmless to soil microorganisms. Suitable for long-term use
Sustainability: Renewable raw materials meet the needs of green agriculture.
5. Agricultural Machinery Lubricants
Features: Used for lubrication and rust prevention of agricultural machinery to reduce equipment wear.
Advantages:
High Lubricity: Reduce friction and extend the service life of the equipment.
Environmental Protection: Biodegradable, reduce pollution to soil and water.
6. Fruit And Vegetable Preservatives
Features: As a film forming agent of fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping agent, it forms a protective film on the surface of fruit and vegetable and extends the fresh-keeping period. Reduce water evaporation and microbial infestation.
Advantages:
High Safety: Non-toxic to fruits and vegetables, suitable for consumption
Long-Lasting Effect: The protective film formed is stable and breathable.
7. Other Applications
Agricultural Film Additive: Used in the production of agricultural film, improve the flexibility and anti-aging properties of the film.
Bio Pesticide Carrier: As a carrier of bio pesticide, enhance its stability and targeting.
