Effective Solutions for Agrichemical Synthesis and Formulation

From fertilizers to pesticides, DMSO helps producers, formulators, and farmers safely and efficiently apply critical resources to farmland. As a powerful polar aprotic solvent, DMSO improves reaction rates in the synthesis of agrichemical actives and effectively dissolves these actives in highly concentrated formulations. This leads to greater application flexibility and efficiency. Whether using DMSO as an inert formulation ingredient or reaction solvent, agrichemical producers and formulators can count on Gaylord’s DMSO.

Effective. Safe. Sustainable. 

DMSO is biodegradable, non-toxic, and a proven alternative to other more hazardous polar aprotic solvents such as N-Methyl Pyrollidone (NMP). DMSO is an effective liquid formulation solvent for a range of active ingredients used in herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide formulations including propiconazole, pinoxaden, pyroxasulfone, metaconazole, imazethaphyr, imazamethabenz-methyl, trubupirimphos, cyfluthrin, glyphosate and imidacloprid. Single or combined active ingredient formulations have widely been formulated with DMSO.

Gaylord’s DMSO Industrial Grade is the recommended liquid solvent for the formulation of agricultural chemicals, while Gaylord’s DMSO Synthesis Grade is the preferred reaction solvent for the synthesis of agrichemical actives.
