Water solubleAll
the DISCO materials are very fast drying and are water soluble, which makes pesticide
mixing excellent. DISCO can be diluted to relative high rates. This ability makes them
very suitable for film coating of non-smooth seed species. DISCO ’s are
non-phytotoxic to the seed and especially on high sugar containing seed they will have a
positive effect on the germination.
Shelf life
All DISCO types have a shelf life of one year when stored at maximum 15-20°C in closed
containers.
Special DISCO formulations
If you require a special film coat liquid, Incotec is pleased to offer you our
services. We are able to develop tailor-made DISCO’s, which can be held exclusive for
you.

Chemical companies
Incotec has worldwide close co-operation with Bayer Ag., Novartis and Rhone Poulenc.
Incotec has developed special film coat processes and recipes for seed treatment
applications of new pesticide molecules like Gaucho and Cruiser. Due to close co-operation
we are able to test and develop new DISCO film coat liquids at a very early stage.
Micro nutrients
Deficiency of micronutrients during germination and seedling stage can have a
tremendous negative influence on the final plant stand and yield. For this reason Incotec
is working together with various suppliers of Micronutrients to test and screen the most
optimal seed treatment application methods and DISCO formulations. Our research department
is developing new film coat liquids in which the release of the Micronutrients will be
most optimal. In certain cases slow release film coat liquids are required to enable a
controlled release of Micronutrients.
