Co-formulants

Besides active substances, safeners and synergists, so-called co-formulants are also added to the formulation of plant protection products. While adjuvants are marketed as a separate product, co-formulants are thus present in the plant protection product itself.

The co-formulants give the plant protection product the necessary properties for application. They make plant protection products easy to handle, apply and store. They help disperse the active substances evenly in the spray liquid and help spread these on the plants. Co-formulants can consist of several components.

The co-formulants present in authorised plant protection products are listed here. Please note that this list is not representative of environmental or human exposure, as it also includes co-formulants present in authorised plant protection products that are not placed on the market.
