Anti-Caking Agents for Fertilizers
Conditioning treatments for fertilizers may be used to interrupt fertilizer caking tendencies, thereby enhancing the product’s value and handling safety. Producers can apply an external treatment of a coating or anti-caking agent for fertilizers that contain appropriate surface-active agents to disrupt typical fertilizer caking mechanisms. These anti-caking agents or coatings are usually formulated with other components that reduce the formation of dust, excessive amounts of which can promote crystal bridging, which also contributes to caking.
When crop nutrition producers treat their fertilizer adequately with one of our high-quality Fluidiram® and Galoryl® anti-caking agents, they can be confident knowing that they have successfully addressed fertilizer caking-related safety concerns in their workplace and downstream handling facilities. Arkema will help you select the best Fluidiram® and Galoryl® anti-caking agent and design an optimal coating application system to meet your needs.
