Agrochemicals & Pesticides
Agrochemicals and pesticides are chemical substances used in agriculture to protect crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. These liquids are essential for modern agriculture but need to be handled with care due to their potential environmental and health impacts. The demand of Agrochemicals is growing due to increasing demand for agricultural products. The agriculture industry is driven by global population and income growth and dietary changes that follow. The legislative proposals of recent years, establishing limits to the use of certain agrochemicals, have forced companies in the sector to gradually renew themselves, to develop new formulations, and to find new packaging for their formula. The challenge is to find new solutions on agricultural plastic bottles and closures. Filling and Capping solutions for Agrochemicals and Pesticides products include: liquid fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides.
Agrochemicals and pesticides are typically formulated as liquids, covering a wide range of viscosities depending on their formulation and intended use. Some may be thin and easily pourable, while others may be thicker and more concentrated, with different concentration levels, such as emulsifiable concentrates (EC), water-dispersible granules (WG), or water-soluble concentrates (SL), to suit different application requirements.
These products are potentially toxic substances and need to be handled with caution, following safety guidelines and using appropriate personal protective equipment during application.
Manufacturers and brands are exploring innovative packaging solutions to ensure proper containment and handling of these potentially hazardous substances. Bottles are made from sturdy and durable materials to withstand the corrosive and potentially hazardous nature of the chemicals.
Safety is a paramount concern for Agrochemicals and pesticides products, especially those that contain potentially hazardous substances. Child-resistant closures are gaining popularity as they offer an added layer of protection to prevent young children from accessing harmful contents. Closures are designed to be compatible with the specific agrochemical or pesticide to prevent any chemical reactions or degradation.
