Overview
A combination of active and inert ingredients that forms an end-use pesticide product
What is a formulation
A formulation that contains an oil-soluble liquid a.i., one or more oil-based solvents and a mixing agent
What is an Emulsifiable Concentrate?
What are Dusts?
Pesticides that deliver a.i. as a gas
What is a Fumigant?
A chemical that affects how a pesticide works
What is an adjuvant?
The chemical(s) within a pesticide formulation that is responsible for the pesticidal activity
What are Active Ingredients?
A formulation where the a.i. is dissolved completely in a liquid solvent
Non-soluble, dry, solid formulations, larger than dusts and typically in RTU form
What are granules
Formulation that contains dry particles or liquid droplets surrounded by a coating
The institution responsible for providing safety information on adjuvants
What are the product manufacturers?
Have no pesticidal activity but are added to formulations to change it's properties
What are Inert Ingredients
Products that contain very low concentrations of a.i. dissolved in a liquid solvent, that require no additional mixing before use
What are Ready-to-Use Solutions?
Dry, finely ground solid materials that must include a wetting/dispersing agent in order to be mixed with water and applied as a spray
What are wettable powders?
Product that contains an a.i. incorporated into a solid material, typically plastic
What are impregnates?
An adjuvant that increases the droplet size and/or lower the amount of very fine droplets produced
What are drift control additives?
The ability of one substance to dissolve into another
What is solubility?
A formulation with the consistency of mayonnaise and requires specialized equipment to apply
Wettable powder formulations compressed into dust-free granule-sized particles
What are Water-Dispersible Granules or Dry Flowables?
Active ingredients that are absorbed by, enter the tissues of, and move within a treated animal
Adjuvant that allows the pesticide to form a uniform coating over the treated surface
What is a spreader?
The substance that a product dissolves into
What is a solvent?
Formulation that contains a water soluble pesticide dispersed in an oil-based carrier material, with a special emulsifier to be mixed properly
What is an Invert Emulsion
Look very similar to Wettable Powders but when added to water, they dissolve completely with no need of additional agitation.
What are Soluble Powders
A precise amount of a.i. that is contained within a dissolvable film
What is Water-Soluble Packaging?
Adjuvant that allows oil based products (ECs) to mix with water
What are emulisfiers?
