Improve Micronutrient Fertilizer Blend Performance
Overcoming Micronutrient Blending Challenges
Beyond the primary nutrients—nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)—modern fertilizer programs often include secondary nutrients such as sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg), along with essential micronutrients including iron, manganese, zinc, boron, molybdenum, and copper.
These materials frequently differ in particle size, density, and shape, making it difficult to maintain a uniform fertilizer blend. During production, storage, transportation, and application, fertilizers may also generate dust or experience segregation that reduces product quality and application consistency.
Arkema develops advanced technologies that help manufacturers overcome these challenges while improving fertilizer blend quality and long-term stability.

Our Micronutrient Technologies
Arkema develops technologies specifically engineered to improve micronutrient fertilizer quality and blend stability.
Microstickers®
Microstickers® coating technology is designed to minimize segregation by improving adhesion between fertilizer particles with different sizes, densities, and physical characteristics. The technology produces stable micronutrient fertilizer blends for up to 90 days, helping maintain uniform nutrient distribution throughout storage, transportation, and application.
Additional benefits include:
- Improved blend stability
- Uniform micronutrient distribution
- Enhanced fertilizer appearance
- Reduced dust generation
Dustrol®
Arkema's Dustrol® dust control technologies can be customized to meet the specific physical quality requirements of secondary and micronutrient fertilizers. Combined with optimized coating application systems, Dustrol® helps reduce dust generation while preserving fertilizer integrity throughout handling and distribution.
