Granular material comprising a carboxymethylcellulose binder
By using carboxymethyl cellulose as a binder and combining it with a wet granulation method, the stability and disintegration problems of granular materials during storage and transportation were solved. This enabled rapid disintegration and release of active ingredients upon contact with moisture, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional binders and reducing costs and performance instability.

AI Technical Summary
Existing granular materials are not stable enough during storage and transportation, and are difficult to disintegrate quickly when exposed to moisture in agricultural applications. Traditional binders such as sodium lignosulfonate have high costs, color and odor problems, while alternative binders such as molasses, starch and clay have problems with unstable performance or difficulty in procurement.
Carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a binder, and granular materials are prepared by wet granulation. By controlling the viscosity and amount of the binder, the structural integrity is maintained during storage and the material disintegrates rapidly upon contact with moisture, thus avoiding the disadvantages of traditional binders.
It achieves stability of granular materials during storage and transportation, while rapidly disintegrating upon application to ensure timely release of active ingredients, and avoids color and odor issues, reducing binder usage and costs.
