Which term describes a pesticide formulation that forms a thick emulsion when mixed with water?

Emulsifiable Concentrates are specifically designed to create a thick emulsion when mixed with water. This formulation consists of pesticide active ingredients that are soluble in oil and require an emulsifier to mix seamlessly with water. When added to water, these concentrates disperse and form an emulsion, which helps in the uniform distribution of the pesticide across the area being treated. This type of formulation is particularly valuable for achieving effective coverage of surfaces that pests may inhabit, enhancing the efficacy of the pesticide.

Other formulations do not exhibit the same thick emulsion characteristics. For instance, Dry Flowable is a formulation that consists of solid particles that dissolve in water but does not create an emulsion. Drift Control Additives are used to modify the spray characteristics of a pesticide to reduce drift but do not themselves form an emulsion. Dust formulations consist of solid particles mixed with an inert carrier and are applied dry, lacking the ability to create an emulsion when mixed with water. Thus, Emulsifiable Concentrates uniquely provide the emulsifying capability described in the question.
