On July 7, Sinochem International
Crop Care Co., Ltd. (Sinochem Crop Care) signed a strategic cooperation
agreement with Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (Momentive) in Shanghai. The
two parties will explore the field in pesticide formulation processing and
application by creating new auxiliary technology through in-depth cooperation
under their own advantages. Their Goal is to improve the utilization of
pesticides and promote agriculture in an economic, precise and environmentally
friendly way in order to bring a new era of rural revitalization.
Momentive wants
to have a bigger contribution in Chinese agriculture by working with Sinochem
Crop Care
Momentive is one of the outstanding
global leaders in the silicone industry. The company has brought innovation for
a variety of industries including auto, electron, personal care, agriculture, consumer
goods, aerospace and architecture. Although it depends on the global R&D force,
the agricultural department of Momentive is anchored in the Chinese
agrochemical industry with high-quality agricultural additives that can improve
the performance of agricultural chemicals. Momentive is 35 years in the
business of agricultural additives. The company aims to give worldwide access
to highly performing agricultural chemicals.
The CEO of Momentive
advocates a strategy that involves dependence on local R&D and serving for
the locals. In a long journey of more than 20 years, Momentive has now developed
itself to a stage of customizing products together with clients according to
their own demands and the company was able to maintain a double-digit growth in
the recent 5 years. Based on the previous successful projects with Sino Crop
Care, the two companies have created a good relationship with each other.
Momentive believes that the two parties can definitely make bigger contribution
for the green development in Chinese agricultural economy by again working together
in a partnership.
Sinochem Crop Care: strategic cooperation with Momentive to bring new
era of rural revitalization
Sinochem Crop
Care is a newly founded and an important pesticide sales section of Syngenta AG,
a Swedish giant in Transgene technology. For years, Sinochem Crop Care has been
helping Chinese farmers to treat their plants with high-quality products and
professional technology. The company has played an indispensable role in Chinese
agriculture. At present, the Company has its own operation integrated with research,
production and marketing. Sinochem Crop Care believes that the strategic
cooperation is favourable for both parties. The company aims at promoting
Chinese agriculture in an economic, precise and environmentally friendly way in
order to bring a new era of rural revitalization.
Application and development of auxiliaries to be divided into wet and
adhering auxiliary of excess water consumption and time- and labor-saving
auxiliary of ultra-low water consumption
According to
Momentive, the size of auxiliary’s surface tension can have an influence
on the effect of pesticide. Anti-drift and anti-evaporation auxiliary of super
expansion, high coverage and low surface tension with highly efficient small
dose can improve the pesticide effect in a time- and labor-saving way. As a result, based on the current situation and the future of Pesticide
application technology, Momentive and Sinochem Crop Care reach an agreement
when it comes to the application and
development of the new auxiliaries, which should be first divided into two
types: wet and adhering auxiliary of excess water consumption and time- and
labor-saving auxiliary of ultra-low water consumption. Over time, the medication habits may be changed
and highly efficient plant protection technology may be applied.
