Fertilizer additives

Fertilizer additives

Fertilizers possess extraordinary physical properties that may cause problems during production, handling, application chain, storage and transportation. INSTRAL developed several highly innovative fertilizer additives, both bio-based and traditional, to improve the qualities of mineral fertilizers, reducing these problems and diminishing the ecological footprint of fertilizers at the same time.  

C-Force®

Fertilizer additives for every stage of your process

Performance benefits of C-Force® fertilizer additives

By integrating INSTRAL’s additives into your production process, you can achieve:

  • Improved granule strength and durability
  • Reduced dust and product loss
  • Excellent flowability during storage and transport
  • Lower caking tendency
  • Enhanced process efficiency and yield
  • Reduced need for additional coatings
  • More sustainable fertilizer production with BIO-Force®

Discover our bio-based solution: BIO-Force®

BIO-Force® is INSTRAL’s bio-based solution for producing high-quality fertilizers. These additives enhance the quality of the particles from the inside out, resulting in hard, large and stabilized granules, and narrow particle size distribution.

In addition, BIO-Force® offers a sustainable alternative to traditional coatings and even enables formaldehyde-free prilling. Which makes it suitable for organic farming and easy to integrate into existing production processes.

Frequently asked questions

  • What are fertilizer additives used for?

    Fertilizer additives are used to improve physical and chemical properties such as granule strength, flowability, moisture resistance, and storage stability.

  • Is the additive stable under different conditions?

    Yes. The additive remains highly stable when stored in its original, sealed packaging. The additive also helps the urea granule remain stable, even under varying conditions such as changes in temperature and pressure.

    The additive is delivered in sealed bags, making it resistant to external influences. However, if the packaging is left open, the additive may lose stability over time.

    In summary: both the additive and the urea granule to which it is applied remain stable, as long as they are stored correctly.

  • Are bio-based additives as effective as traditional additives?

    Yes. BIO-Force® additives are designed to match or exceed the performance of conventional additives while offering improved sustainability and reduced environmental impact.

  • How do the additives improve sustainability?

    By reducing waste, minimizing dust and emissions, and enabling bio-based alternatives, additives help lower the environmental footprint of fertilizer production and use.
