Gaylord Chemical Company, L.L.C., in collaboration with iFormulate, announces the webinar “Change, Change, Change – A New Option for Liquid Agrochemical Reformulation,” taking place on February 25, 2025, at 3 PM CET | 9 AM EST | 8 AM CST | 6 AM PST | 2 PM UK.
This highly timely event will provide professionals in the agrochemical sector with the latest insights into regulatory changes, solvent innovations, and strategic approaches to meet new challenges head-on.
This 45-minute to 1-hour session is tailored to help attendees navigate the rapidly shifting landscape of agrochemical solvents, featuring in-depth discussions on recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updates concerning Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and imminent restrictions on N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). As the industry braces for these regulatory shifts, the webinar will showcase DMSO as the go-to solvent for its regulatory approval, availability, cost benefits, and superior formulation flexibility.
Attendees will gain:
- Expert insights: Receive valuable guidance from renowned industry experts, including Dr. David Calvert and Dr. Jim Bullock of iFormulate, alongside Mick Sadoudi and Dr. Artie McKim from Gaylord Chemical Company.
- Regulatory updates: Stay ahead with the latest regulatory changes and understand their practical implications on your formulations.
- Practical solutions: Discover how DMSO can effectively address the regulatory hurdles posed by the impending NMP restrictions, helping you innovate and maintain compliance.
Dr. David Calvert, Director and co-founder of iFormulate, will kick off the session by exploring the critical role of solvents in agrochemical formulations. “Our aim is to equip attendees with the knowledge they need to adapt to regulatory shifts and to offer practical tools for solvent selection,” shares Dr. Calvert.
Dr. Artie McKim, Vice President of Technology at Gaylord Chemical Company, adds, “With the looming restrictions on NMP, we’re eager to demonstrate how DMSO can revolutionize the industry, providing a safer, more efficient alternative that meets both regulatory and formulation needs.”
