Why It Matters
Fertilizer bins, spray gear, and transfer systems corrode from salts/acids; need corrosion inhibitors and protective surface treatments
Solution Approach
Fertilizer bins, spray gear, and transfer systems corrode from salts/acids; need corrosion inhibitors and protective surface treatments 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 (3)
Alkyl Pyridine
CAS 68391-11-7
Specialty Additives
Corrosion Inhibition
Alkyl pyridine is a classic steel pickling/acid inhibitor: the nitrogen lone pair adsorbs onto the ferrous surface to form a protective film that blocks acid/chloride attack in storage and transfer systems - correct ferrous-metal chemistry, not a yellow-metal triazole

3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane
CAS 919-30-2
Silanes & Organosilanes
Coupling agent
Silane pretreatment improves bond and barrier integrity of protective coatings on steel, indirectly reducing under-film corrosion
Melting Point: -70 °C Boiling Point: 217 °C Density: 0.94 at 25 °C

Phosphate Esters & Derivatives
Chelation / Sequestration
Phosphonate forms a passivating film on ferrous metal and sequesters aggressive cations in handling water systems
Melting Point: 210 - 215 °C Solubility: 1000 mg/mL at 25 °C Vapor Pressure: 0.0000001
