7.31 AQUEOUS SUSPENSION CONCENTRATES (SC) Introduction SC is the designation for a stable suspension of active ingredient(s) in an aqueous continuous phase, intended for dilution with water before use. The parameters which best describe the performance characteristics are: - pourability test (to ensure that the SC can be poured from its container); - water dispersibility (spontaneity of dispersion), suspensibility, wet sieve and persistent foam tests (to ensure the sprayability of the diluted suspension). Some other physical properties, especially particle size range and viscosity, however, are excluded from the specification for the following reasons: - particle size range: There is no internationally accepted, simple method for determination of the particle size range of SCs. Moreover, particle size range is described and limited in the specification by a number of easily quantifiable parameters which are influenced by it. These parameters are the wet sieve analysis, suspensibility, pourability and water dispersibility. - viscosity: Although viscosity is also an important property, it cannot readily be determined by simple means. Since most SCs show non-Newtonian flow characteristics, viscosity is only one part of a much more complex rheology. Pourability and water dispersibility parameters included in the specification adequately describe the flow (rheological) properties. Note for preparation of draft specifications. Do not omit clauses or insert additional clauses, nor insert limits that are more lax than those than given in the guidelines, without referring to section 4. From the “Notes” provided at the end of this guideline, incorporate only those which are applicable to the particular specification.
