Seed Coating

Seed Coating

Cellulose ethers, such as Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and other derivatives, are widely used in seed coating due to their versatile properties that enhance seed performance. The fucntion of cellulose ethers in seed coating are:

1. Film-forming ability
2. Biodegradability and Safety
3. Adhesion and Binding
4. Moisture Control
5. Controlled Release of Active Ingredients
6. Improved Flowability and Handling
7. Enhanced Appearance
8. Cost-effective
In general cellulose ethers are used in seed coating for their protective, biodegradable, moisture-controlling, and binding properties. They improve seed durability, performance, and handling, making them a popular choice in modern agricultural practices.

Recommended Solutions

Celopro HHB300S can form a film on the surface of seeds. This film with HEC is flexible and uniform can reduce the risk of seed damage by pests; It can control water content to prevent seeds from spoiling or sprouting prematurely due to high water content, and losing activity due to excessive dryness.

Celopre MK50 can form a film on the surface of seeds. This film with HPMC will be thick and it can control release active ingredients slowly during seeds growing up; Another function is to reduce the damage caused by friction and collision during processing, transportation, and storage.

Product Features and Advantages

  • Film-forming agent: HPMC creates a protective film around seeds, which helps to shield them from external factors like moisture, pests, and mechanical damage during handling and storage.
  • Binder: HPMC acts as a binder to hold the coating materials (such as nutrients, pesticides, or colorants) together, ensuring that they adhere properly to the seed surface.
  • Control of release: It can help in the controlled release of active ingredients, such as fertilizers or pesticides, allowing these substances to be released slowly over time, enhancing seed performance.
  • Water retention: HPMC has the ability to retain water or moisture, which can improve the seed’s hydration, potentially aiding in faster germination and more uniform sprouting.
  • Improved flowability: HPMC contributes to the smoothness of the seed surface, reducing friction between seeds and improving the flowability during planting or mechanical processing.
