About ContraSol™

ContraSol™ is a novel formulation approach which enables and enhances the use of poorly soluble / insoluble agrochemicals
and biocides. ContraSol™ generates tablets or powders containing insoluble actives within a soluble matrix. When added to
liquids, the matrix dissolves to liberate the insoluble material as a nanoparticulate dispersion (typically 100 – 300nm).

Application of ContraSol™ affords distinctive competitive advantage delivering demonstrated improvements in:
- Activity and efficacy
- Curative and residual performance
- Ease and speed of dispersion

And opportunities for:
- Reduction in application rate;
- Elimination of solvent in storage, transportation and application;
- Extended product stability;
- Reduction in the use of plastic packaging and waste handling;
- Extension of IP

ContraSol™ can be applied to a wide range of materials including many which cannot be processed using traditional attrition
or other techniques. The technology is currently being applied in a number of Feasibility and Joint Development contracts with
leading manufacturers and formulators.
