Challenge
The Solution
When the agrochemical client approached Battelle with its reformulation challenge, the expected solution was replacement of the crucial co-solvent with another solvent in order to dissolve the second herbicide. That, however, would prove extremely difficult, as the product was not soluble in much at all.
The alternative? Make a water-soluble salt of the second herbicide and create a blend of aqueous and organic phases. Instead of creating the usual and customary opaque/two-phase water-in-oil emulsion, the Battelle team instead produced a clear, one-phase homogenous product with very good physical and chemical stability.
