What are suspension concentrates (sc) made from?

Suspension concentrates (SC) are formulations that consist of small, solid particles dispersed within a liquid medium, such as oil solvents or water. This type of formulation is designed to maintain an even distribution of the solid particles, which allows for effective application and efficacy of the active ingredients. The small particle size enhances the stability of the suspension and helps ensure that the product can be delivered uniformly when applied.

When SC formulations are mixed, they create a suspension where the particles remain suspended in the liquid without settling too quickly, allowing for efficient use and application in pest control contexts. This kind of formulation is particularly useful for delivering certain active ingredients that may not be soluble in water or oil, thereby increasing the versatility of pest control products.
