Optimization of Formulations of 1% Abamectin Microcapsule Suspensions with Properties of Biochemical Materials

Abstract:

By orthogonal experiments, optimal formulation of 1% abamectin microcapsule suspensions was determined as follow: the proportion of abamectin microcapsule is 1%, NNO 5.0%, sodium dodecyl sulfate 3.0%, xanthan gum 0.3%, ethylene glycol 3%, and the remainder is water. The indicators of the formulation are all excellent: good dispersibility, suspension rate greater than 90%, cold storage and hot storage syneresis rates under 5%. The properties of biochemical materials were used in optimization. The optimal formulation provides an experimental basis for industrial production of abamectin microcapsule suspensions.
