Film forming agent
Exilva® is an efficient, biodegradable film-forming stabiliser and anti-settling additive for suspended solids in liquid coatings containing electrolytes, nutrients and multiple actives. It creates porous films and coatings with possible barrier properties.
Exilva is a microfibrillated cellulose that enhances film forming in fertilizer granule coatings. As a component in the liquid coating, it provides anti-settling properties leading to homogeneously coated surfaces. The product can be used to solve structuring or compatibility challenges and in microplastics free innovations.
Benefits offered:
- Allows formulating with multiple actives at high ionic strength conditions over a wide pH range
- Enhances barrier properties
- Bio-based and biodegradable
Performance data
Exilva – an excellent film former
Investigations at technical research centre of finland shows Exilva having excellent film-forming properties, potentially benefitting seed and granule coatings.
Exilva temperature stability
Laboratory studies demonstrate that Exilva is stable and robust when used as a rheology modifier or stabiliser over a wide temperature range.
Exilva ph compatibility
Laboratory studies demonstrate that Exilva is compatible and robust when used as a rheology modifier or stabiliser in acidic and alkaline environments.
Exilva salt compatibility
Laboratory studies demonstrate that Exilva is compatible and robust when used as a rheology modifier or stabiliser in high salt content systems.

Trends toward sustainable crop production with speciality fertilizers
Although microorganisms are very small in size, too small to be seen by the eye, they cause substantial economic losses each year for both the food and feed industry. microbial growth can be controlled either by prevention or inhibition – using an antimicrobial agent.
