Most liquid Boron products are formulated from Boric Acid + Ethanolamine producing a Boron Ethanolamine liquid complex which has a high pH, and so isn’t suitable for tank-mixing with any actives sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis. Ethanolamine formulations of Boron will also suffer with less efficient leaf absorption.

Solid Boron products based on disodium octaborate are normally very slow to dissolve and produce a high pH around 9.0 – 9.5 which is unsuitable for a wide variety of tank-mixes.

This issue has been solved using ACIDplex technology to complex disodium octaborate, resulting in a product rich in Boron, which dissolves VERY rapidly, creates a neutral to acidic spray water pH and can be tank-mixed readily. This formulation type utilises carboxylic acids with ligno-polycarboxylates and EDTA to create a more efficient and tank-mix friendly formulation (when compared with alternative Boron formulations), which is rapidly and easily absorbed by the crop, at affordable cost.
