Why It Matters
Seed-applied actives flake off as dust during handling and planting (operator exposure, lost rate); need film-forming binders that adhere actives to the seed while keeping plantability
Solution Approach
Seed-applied actives flake off as dust during handling and planting (operator exposure, lost rate); need film-forming binders that adhere actives to the seed while keeping plantability RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Application Workflow
1
Application & Agronomic Review
Define the use (crop input, adjuvant, soil amendment, post-harvest) and the agronomic, regulatory, and tank-mix requirements.
2
Input & Grade Selection
Match the surfactant or adjuvant, nutrient source, chelate, or formulation aid to the active, water quality, and label.
3
Compatibility & Rate Trial
Confirm tank-mix compatibility, dose, and stability, and size packaging (jugs, drums, totes, bulk) to the season and logistics.
4
Field Validation
Validate efficacy and crop safety in field trials, and lock the spec and supply plan for the season.
Recommended Chemistries (4)
Hydrogen Peroxide-PVP Complex (Stabilized H2O2)
CAS 9003-39-8
Polymers & Resins
Binder / sticker
PVP forms a tough, water-soluble film that glues actives to the seed coat and dramatically reduces dust-off while staying re-wettable for germination

Polyvinyl Alcohol
CAS 9002-89-5
Polymers & Resins
Film Formation
PVA lays down a flexible cohesive film that locks coating actives onto the seed surface

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)
CAS 9004-32-4
Specialty Additives
Surfactancy
Anionic cellulose ether thickens the slurry and binds the coating layer, improving adhesion and uniform build
Solubility: Yields a viscous colloidal solution with water.… PH: Not < 5,0 and not more than 8,5 (1 % colloidal …

Lignosulfonate
CAS 8068-05-1
Surfactants
Cleaning / Degreasing
Keeps active particles deflocculated in the coating slurry for an even, well-adhered film
