Ivanhoe produces a wide range of non-ionic surfactants that can be safely used in agricultural spray formulations and have 40 CFR 180 clearances. Their functions are to reduce the surface tension of agricultural sprays to help evenly spread active components across plant surfaces, improve the efficiency of the spray, and act as emulsifiers to help incorporate oils into your formulation.
Glycerol Esters
Glycerol esters are low HLB non-ionic surfactants derived from plant sources that function as emulsifiers and work in conjunction with higher HLB emulsifiers.
| Product | Description | Appearance @ 25C | HLB | 40 CFR Clearances |
| I-MUL GMO LM | Glycerol Monooleate, 32% monoester | Liquid | 2.8 | 180.910 |
| I-MUL GMO K | Glycerol Monooleate, 42% monoester | Liquid | 2.8 | 180.910 |
Sorbitan Esters
Sorbitan esters are low HLB non-ionic surfactants derived from plant sources. Sorbitan esters function as emulsifiers and work particularly well with polysorbates to form stable emulsions.

| S-I 85K | Sorbitan Trioleate | Liquid | 1.8 | 180.910 |
| S-I 83 | Sorbitan Sesqueoelate | Liquid | 3.7 | 180.910 |
| S-I 90 | Sorbitan Monotallate | Liquid | 4.3 | 180.910 |
| S-I 80K | Sorbitan Monooleate | Liquid | 4.3 | 180.910 |
| S-I 20K | Sorbitan Monolaurate | Liquid | 8.6 | 180.910 |
Polysorbates
Polysorbates are high HLB non-ionic surfactants made via the ethoxylation of sorbitan esters. Polysorbates reduce the surface tension of agricultural sprays.
| Product | Description | Appearance @ 25C | HLB | 40 CFR Clearances |
| T-I 85K | Polysorbate 85 | Liquid | 11.0 | 180.910 |
| T-I 80K | Polysorbate 80 | Liquid | 15.0 | 180.910 |
| T-I 20K | Polysorbate 20 | Liquid | 16.7 | 180.910 |
PEG Esters
PEG Esters are non-ionic surfactants made via the esterification of polyethylene glycols and fatty acids derived from plant sources. PEG Esters reduce surface tension of agricultural sprays and can also help stabilize other components of your agricultural spray formulation.

| I-PEG 400 DO | Polyethylene Glycol 400 Dioleate | Liquid | 8.5 | 180.910 |
