Minerals We Supply to the Pesticides & Agrochemicals Industry
Talc - Dust Carrier and Diluent
Talc is one of the most widely used carrier minerals in pesticide dust formulations globally - valued for its fine particle size, chemical inertness, low abrasiveness, hydrophobicity and broad compatibility with pesticide active ingredients across insecticide, fungicide and acaricide formulations.
Pesticide Dust Carrier. Talc powder in fine grades - 325 mesh and finer - is the primary carrier and diluent in dust formulations (DP) for contact insecticides, fungicides and acaricides. The carrier dilutes the active ingredient to safe concentrations, ensures uniform crop surface distribution and provides the physical bulk required for effective application by dust blowers and hand equipment globally.
Physical Pest Control - talc's fine, sharp particles physically damage soft-bodied insects and mites - effective as a physical insecticide component complementing chemical active ingredient efficacy.
Grain Storage Protection - talc is used as a grain protective dust applied directly to stored grain against weevils, beetles and stored grain pests globally.
Anti-Caking - used as an anti-caking agent and flow improver in granular pesticide and fertiliser formulations preventing agglomeration during storage.
We supply talc in pesticide carrier grade powder - 200 mesh, 325 mesh and finer - for dust formulation, wettable powder and granule applications for pesticide manufacturers globally.

Kaolin
Kaolin is uniquely versatile in pesticides - used both as an inert carrier mineral and as an active pesticidal material - one of the very few industrial minerals serving both roles simultaneously in crop protection applications globally.
Kaolin Particle Film Technology. Kaolin is EPA-approved as a crop protectant - applied as a fine particle suspension depositing a white physical film on crop surfaces. This barrier irritates and repels insects, reduces pest egg-laying, reflects solar radiation and physically impedes pest feeding. Kaolin particle film is used in tree fruit, olive and vegetable crop protection as a USDA-approved alternative to synthetic insecticides - widely used in organic and IPM programmes globally.
Wettable Powder (WP) Carrier - kaolin is the primary carrier in wettable powder pesticide formulations providing bulk, flowability and suspension characteristics for water-diluted spray applications.
Dust Formulation Carrier - carrier and diluent in dust pesticide formulations for contact insecticide and fungicide active ingredients applied to crops and soil.
Granule Carrier - calcined kaolin is used as a carrier for soil-applied granular pesticide formulations.
We supply kaolin in pesticide grade powder - calcined and hydrous grades across multiple mesh sizes - for dust, wettable powder and granule carrier applications for pesticide and agrochemical manufacturers globally.

We supply kaolin in pesticide grade powder - calcined and hydrous grades across multiple mesh sizes - for dust, wettable powder and granule carrier applications for pesticide and agrochemical manufacturers globally.
Pyrophyllite - Pesticide Dust Carrier and Diluent
Pyrophyllite is a premium carrier mineral for pesticide dust formulations - favoured where its platy morphology, chemical inertness, low abrasiveness and excellent adhesion to plant surfaces provides superior pesticide distribution compared to talc or kaolin in dust and wettable powder applications.
Dust Formulation Carrier. Pyrophyllite powder is used as a carrier and diluent in contact insecticide, fungicide and acaricide dust formulations - its platy particle structure adheres well to plant leaf surfaces providing effective active ingredient distribution across the treated crop canopy. Its lower abrasiveness compared to silica-based carriers makes it preferred in formulations used with sensitive application equipment.
Wettable Powder Diluent - used as a diluent in wettable powder formulations providing bulk, flowability and good suspension stability of active ingredients in water spray applications globally.
Physical Stability - pyrophyllite's hydrophobicity, low moisture absorption and chemical inertness make it a stable carrier that does not react with or degrade pesticide active ingredients during storage - maintaining product shelf life and active ingredient stability.
We supply pyrophyllite in pesticide carrier grade powder - 200 mesh and 325 mesh - for dust formulation, wettable powder and granule carrier applications for pesticide and agrochemical manufacturers globally.

Fuller's Earth - Pesticide Carrier and Granule Absorber
Fuller's Earth - natural attapulgite clay - is used in pesticides and agrochemicals as a granule carrier, liquid active ingredient absorber and wettable powder diluent - its fibrous crystal structure and high adsorptive capacity making it effective for carrying liquid pesticide active ingredients in granular formulations globally.
Granule Carrier for Liquid Active Ingredients. Fuller's Earth is one of the most effective natural mineral carriers for liquid pesticide active ingredients in soil-applied granular formulations. Its high adsorptive capacity absorbs significant volumes of liquid active ingredient, released slowly into the soil for persistent pest control. Granular formulations using Fuller's Earth are widely used for soil insecticide, nematicide and herbicide applications in row crops, vegetables and turf globally.
Wettable Powder Diluent - used as a diluent in wettable powder formulations providing good suspension stability in water spray applications.
Herbicide and Fungicide Carrier - Fuller's Earth's adsorptive properties are compatible with herbicide, fungicide and insecticide active ingredients - both ionic and non-ionic - providing versatile carrier performance across multiple pesticide chemical classes.
We supply Fuller's Earth in pesticide carrier grade - lumps and 200 mesh powder - for granule carrier, wettable powder and dust formulation applications globally.

Bentonite - Granule Binder and Suspension Agent
Bentonite serves a distinct role in pesticide and agrochemical formulations - used primarily as a granule binder and suspension agent rather than as a carrier mineral. Its swelling, binding and thickening properties make it indispensable in granular pesticide manufacturing and suspension concentrate formulations globally.
Granule Binder in Pesticide Granules. Bentonite is used as a binder in granular pesticide formulations - holding active ingredient, carrier mineral and formulation components together in uniform, durable granules with controlled release characteristics. Its swelling and binding properties ensure granule integrity during handling, storage and field application - preventing granule breakdown, dust generation and active ingredient segregation.
Suspension Agent - used as a thickening and suspension agent in suspension concentrate (SC) and water-dispersible granule (WG) pesticide formulations preventing sedimentation and maintaining homogeneous product consistency.
Anti-Caking in Fertilisers - used as an anti-caking agent in granular fertiliser formulations preventing agglomeration during storage and ensuring consistent flow during field application.
We supply sodium bentonite in pesticide and agrochemical grade - 200 mesh powder - for granule binding, suspension and anti-caking applications in pesticide and fertiliser manufacturing globally.

Calcite and Dolomite - Fertiliser Filler and Soil Amendment
Calcite and dolomite are used in the agrochemicals industry as fertiliser fillers, soil amendment materials and active ingredients in agricultural lime products - providing calcium and magnesium supplementation to soils alongside their role as cost-effective mineral fillers in granular and powder fertiliser formulations globally.
Agricultural Lime and Soil pH Correction. Calcite and dolomite are the primary materials used in agricultural liming - raising the pH of acidic soils to improve nutrient availability, soil structure and crop productivity. Agricultural lime is one of the most widely applied soil amendments globally - used across all major crop production regions from Southeast Asia and West Africa to European and American farming markets.
Fertiliser Filler and Carrier - used as fillers in NPK fertiliser formulations providing bulk, improving granule formation, preventing caking and delivering calcium and magnesium as secondary nutrients alongside primary NPK nutrients.
Calcium and Magnesium Deficiency Correction - calcite supplementation prevents blossom end rot in tomatoes, tipburn in leafy vegetables and pod rot in groundnuts — calcium deficiency disorders with significant economic impact on crop productivity globally.
We supply calcite and dolomite in agricultural grade - powder and granule form - for agricultural lime, fertiliser filler and soil amendment applications globally.
