Engineered for Performance: Precision Particle Sizing and Dust-Free Manufacturing
Dry flowables are solid formulations designed for direct application or mixing with water. They span a range of agricultural products—from specialty lawn care formulations to commercial fertilizers and crop protection chemicals. The key to their success is two-fold: correct particle sizing and effective dust reduction.
Uniform particle sizing ensures proper flowability for end users and guarantees the correct concentration of active ingredients reaches the target every time. Without it, you get uneven application, wasted product, and frustrated customers. Dust reduction is equally critical—both for user safety and product stability. That's where formulation expertise makes the difference between a good product and a premium one.
Water-Dispersible Granules (WDG or WG)
Similar to wettable powders but with larger particle sizes and minimal dust. WDGs form a suspension when dispersed in water and require agitation to prevent settling. The larger granule size makes them easier for applicators to measure and handle, while maintaining excellent performance characteristics.
Granules (GR)
Dry flowables made up of carrier particles that contain and deliver active ingredients. Granules are designed to be spread directly over a surface and should be dust-minimal while easily breaking apart on contact with water. They're ideal for soil applications, turf treatments, and other surface-applied products.
The Critical Role of Particle Sizing and Milling
The secret to quality dry flowables lies in precision particle sizing. Every dry flowable has an optimal particle size range—too large and you sacrifice uniform distribution, too small and you risk dust generation and flowability problems.
Our milling and particle sizing capabilities are specifically optimized for this critical step. We have multiple milling areas, including a pilot-scale milling system that can achieve virtually any particle size requirement. Whether you're developing a new formulation or scaling existing products, our particle engineering ensures your products meet exact specifications.
Beyond Dry Flowables: Our SC Milling Capabilities
Many customers work with us for dual purposes. If you're formulating suspension concentrates and need properly sized particles, we can grind or mill your dry flowables to the correct particle size for SC processing. Our multi-stage milling approach gives us the flexibility to serve formulations across multiple product types, often in the same production run.
This cross-capability means you can work with a single partner who understands how to move between formulation types without compromising quality.

Understanding Dry Flowable Manufacturing Costs
Pricing for dry flowable contract manufacturing depends on several key factors:
- Processing Complexity: More thorough milling and processing steps increase manufacturing costs. Our experts optimize formulations for quality and cost efficiency.
- Production Volume: We offer economies of scale for large batches and an affordable test facility for smaller runs, allowing pilot validation before bulk production.
- Quality Testing Requirements: Testing needs affect cost. We balance meeting specifications without over-testing, keeping costs reasonable while maintaining product integrity.
