Water-based pesticide formulations mainly include suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsions, aqueous solutions, and other forms. These products contain water and are highly diverse, making them susceptible to microbial contamination as microorganisms easily enter and proliferate in pesticide products using water and other substances. Although the active ingredients in the formulation have some antimicrobial properties, their broad-spectrum activity is limited, so additional preservatives are required to protect the product itself. In the preparation of suspensions, equipment like sand mills is commonly used. Due to the structure of these machines, certain areas are prone to material residues, which can continue to breed microorganisms and contaminate the product. This contamination needs to be addressed promptly. Henning offers preservatives and bactericides specifically designed for water-based pesticide formulations, effectively protecting them from microbial contamination during production, transportation, and shelf life.
