Activance® UV is a bio-based lignin-derived co-formulant and dispersing agent developed by Borregaard for modern crop-protection and biocontrol formulations. It combines excellent dispersing and binding properties with UV-absorption capability, helping protect light-sensitive active ingredients from harmful solar radiation.

Activance® UV is particularly suited to liquid and dry crop-protection formulations, including Suspension Concentrates (SC), Wettable Powders (WP), and Water-Dispersible Granules (WG). It can improve formulation processability, suspensibility, storage stability, and the durability of light-sensitive biological actives.

Why Choose Activance® UV?

Activance® UV combines dispersing, binding, and UV-protection functionality in a bio-based lignin-derived co-formulant, making it particularly attractive for the development of modern biological and conventional agricultural formulations.

Its ability to absorb UV radiation can help protect sensitive active ingredients, while its dispersing and binding properties support formulation stability and processability. This combination makes Activance® UV a valuable formulation tool for manufacturers developing biopesticides, microbial products, suspension concentrates, wettable powders, and water-dispersible granules
