Pesticides
The ability of surfactants to actively draw out pesticide performance is attracting attention in technological development for reducing the amounts of pesticides sprayed and spraying of high-concentration pesticide in a small amount.
Polyglycerol fatty acid esters are highly safe compounds approved as food additives, and their excellent surfactant performance enhances wettability, low chemical toxicity, and antibacterial activity of the spray solutions.
Surfactant Effects of Polyglycerol Fatty Acid Esters
Polyglycerol fatty acid esters have the same level of surfactant capacity as other surfactants.
Effect on Seed Germination
The germination inhibition rate of polyglycerol fatty acid esters is lower than that of other surfactants, enabling the production of pesticides with low chemical toxicity.
