Hydroxyl gel is used in agrochemical liquid formulations as a suspension stabiliser and rheology modifier. It helps maintain uniform dispersion of active ingredients, preventing settling and separation over time. This ensures consistent performance during application and improves product shelf life. It also aids in controlling viscosity, making formulations easier to handle and apply. Commonly used in suspension concentrates, hydroxyl gel enhances formulation stability and ensures effective delivery of agrochemicals.

Why Hydroxylgel is the preferred choice for agro formulations
Comprehensive range of Hydroxylgel grades for diverse industrial applications
High-performance water-based rheology modifier for SC, providing excellent thixotropy, suspension stability, and viscosity control for liquid pesticide formulations.
Rheology modifier variant with modified thixotropy and viscosity profile for specific liquid formulations requiring controlled flow during filling and application.
Attapulgite-based gel for agrochemical suspension stabilisation, offering superior thixotropic performance and salt-tolerant viscosity in SC, OD, and flowable formulations.
Concentrated attapulgite gel providing enhanced suspension stability at lower dosage levels, ideal for high-active-ingredient liquid agrochemical formulations.
Common questions about Hydroxylgel in agro applications
Find detailed answers about specifications, applications, and technical details.
Hydroxylgel is an inorganic rheology modifier that forms a gel network in aqueous systems, providing thixotropic behaviour. In SCs, this network suspends active ingredient particles uniformly, preventing settling during storage while allowing easy flow when the formulation is shaken or pumped.
Hydroxylgel builds viscosity at rest (high gel strength at zero shear) but shear-thins under agitation or pumping, allowing easy handling and application. This thixotropic profile ensures the formulation remains stable during storage but flows freely when used.
HydroxylGel grades (90T, 70TB) are modified inorganic thickeners for water-based systems with specific thixotropy profiles. ATP Gel grades are attapulgite-based and particularly effective in salt-containing systems and OD formulations where conventional thickeners may fail.
Yes. Hydroxylgel grades are chemically inert and compatible with most agrochemical active ingredients including pyrethroids, organophosphates, fungicides, herbicides, and biological actives. Compatibility testing is recommended for specific formulations at the development stage.
Hydroxylgel is typically used at 0.3–1.5% by weight in suspension concentrate formulations. The exact dosage depends on required viscosity, particle size of the suspended active, and presence of other adjuvants in the formulation.
Yes. Specific hydroxylgel grades, particularly ATP Gel series, are designed for OD and flowable formulations. Their salt-tolerance and compatibility with oil-water interface conditions make them effective stabilisers for these complex agrochemical liquid systems.
