About FLYSEED
FLYSEED dispersions mark treated seed and agro inputs with bright, even colour. A small film-former improves adhesion to the seed coat and reduces dust-off, and the antifreeze system keeps the dispersions pumpable in winter warehouses.
Typical properties of the range
| Property | Typical value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Pigment content | 30–50 % (SD-TF 20–30 %) | Gravimetric |
| pH at 20 °C | 7.0–9.0 | pH meter |
| Viscosity at 25 °C | 300–1,500 mPa·s | Brookfield |
| Freeze–thaw | Stable, 3 cycles to −10 °C | Cycling test |
Values for the FLYSEED range; the certificate of analysis for SD gives the release values.
How to use
- Seed treatment
- Typically 0.5–3 g dispersion per kg seed within the treatment slurry
- Fertiliser
- 0.1–0.5 % sprayed onto granules; liquid fertilisers to shade
- Formulations
- 0.1–1 % in the finished formulation; confirm physical stability of the formulation
- Turf
- Dilute with water and spray at the rate on the product label
- Checks
- Jar compatibility with the active formulation; germination test (ISTA methods) on each seed type
Storage, packing and supply
- Storage
- 5–35 °C; protect from frost — freezing destroys the dispersion irreversibly
- Handling
- Stir gently before use; keep containers closed to prevent drying
- Shelf life
- 12 months from date of manufacture
- Packing
- 25 kg HDPE pails, 200 kg drums, 1,000 L IBC
