Water Dispersible Granule & Water Soluble Granule Manufacturing

Water Dispersible Granules (also called Water Soluble Granules) offer improved handling, storage, safety, and performance compared to a liquid alternative.

Advanced Granulation Solutions for Agrochemicals and Fine Chemicals

Water dispersible granules (WDGs) and water soluble granules (WSGs) are increasingly favored formulations in agrochemical and specialty chemical industries due to their ease of use, safe handling, and reduced environmental impact. These free-flowing granular products readily disperse or dissolve in water, enabling precise application while minimizing dust and waste.

At LCI, we provide integrated, high-performance granulation systems engineered to optimize the production of both water dispersible and water soluble granules. Our solutions help manufacturers improve product quality, throughput, and consistency—across development and full-scale production.

What Are Water Dispersible Granules and Water Soluble Granules?

Water dispersible granules are dry, dust-free formulations that break apart and disperse quickly when mixed with water, forming a uniform suspension. They are widely used for herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and other active ingredients that need to be applied via spraying systems.

Water soluble granules, on the other hand, fully dissolve in water, creating clear solutions ideal for precision dosing and homogeneous application. This formulation is often preferred in fertilizers, micronutrients, and water-soluble pesticides.

Both forms improve handling safety, eliminate liquid carriers, and offer enhanced shelf life—key benefits in modern chemical and agricultural applications.

How Water Dispersible and Water Soluble Granules Are Made

The production of WDGs and WSGs involves several critical process steps designed to transform powders into uniform granules with the right size, density, and solubility properties. A typical granulation process includes:

  • Ingredient Blending – Active ingredients and additives are homogeneously mixed.
  • Agglomeration/Granulation – Powders are wetted and compacted into granules using extrusion or other techniques.
  • Spheronization – Granules can be rounded to improve flowability, reduce dust, and ensure uniform dispersion or dissolution.
  • Drying – Moisture is removed to produce stable, free-flowing granules.
  • Classification – Granules are screened to meet strict size specifications.
