Feeding a growing world population requires innovative, sustainable production. To ensure future generations inherit productive land, clean air, and water, we must be responsible stewards of our environment. Proteris™ Adjuvants by Titan Pro are built on three core foundations: Environmental Responsibility, Stewardship, and Quality.
All Proteris adjuvants are NPE/APE free, CPDA certified, and designed to maximize the effectiveness of your active ingredients while respecting our environment.
The proper use rates for crop protection products along with Proteris adjuvants can aid in reducing long-term weed and disease pressures on our limited production lands.
The highest quality ingredients and formulations for Proteris adjuvants are an absolute requirement to ensure the best possible efficacy for the various tank mix partners.
It’s time to raise the bar on what an adjuvant can do. With Proteris, you don’t have to compromise–efficacy and sustainability go hand in hand.
All Proteris adjuvants are CPDA certified; you get exactly what’s on the label, nothing less. It’s your assurance that Proteris adjuvants meet the highest standards for functionality and performance in the industry.

Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) belong to the larger class of surfactant compounds known as alkylphenol ethoxylates (APE). NPEs have been used for over 40 years in both pesticide and adjuvant formulations and are considered “work horse” surfactants due to their high technical efficacy and cost-effectiveness. In the crop protection industry, NPEs can be found in ordinary nonionic surfactant formulations as well as the emulsifier systems used in methylated seed oils (MSO), high-surfactant methylated seed oils (HS-MSO), crop oil concentrates (COC) and high-surfactant oil concentrates (HSOC).
NPEs also have characteristics that may be considered as endocrine disruptors in animals, reptiles, and fish. This has led to NPEs being banned in many countries. While not banned in the United States, the ability to find high quality, highly efficacious NPE replacement formulations allow for use in and around aquatic settings like the lakes we all enjoy in the Midwest, while not causing potential harm.
Additionally, in 2007 a phenomenon was noted in some corn fields where ears failed to properly develop after a post emergence application of fungicide. This phenomenon was later termed as Arrested Ear (AE) and linked to the use of adjuvants containing an APE component in their formulation when applied between the V10 to V16 growth stages. Proteris Arvum Ultra is labeled for the use with fungicides at all growth stages while improving deposition up to 25%, compared to spraying the fungicide only.
Titan Pro is committed to offering this unique adjuvant platform that delivers higher levels of performance than many leading adjuvants while protecting both crops and the environment from any potential risks associated with NPE/APE containing chemistries.
Many surfactants on the market today are described on their label as either a 90:10 or 80:20 surfactant. Customers may assume a “90:10” formulation means 90% surfactant concentration and an “80:20” formulation means 80% surfactant concentration when in reality, this assumption could be false. In some cases, these formulations with references to a “90” or even “100” in the product name could be less than 25% actual surfactant load and may not exceed 50% total functioning agents.
CPDA certification includes rigorous testing requirements and ensures that customers receive the actual level of “activity” or functionality and surfactancy that is claimed on the label from CPDA certified NIS products. NIS products were used as the example above, but CPDA also has certifications for oils, drift reduction agents, activators, and compatibility agents.
In the case of Proteris Arvum, the label will list both nonionic surfactant and humectants as functionality in the descriptor under the product name and identify those components in the principal functioning agents. The total of all functionality/active ingredients content of Proteris Arvum is 93% while the actual surfactant load is 83%. This makes Proteris Arvum one of the highest functional surfactant formulations on the market. In the world of 90:10 classification, at 93% active, Proteris Arvum is higher in both total functional activity and surfactant load compared to ordinary 90:10 surfactants.
All Proteris adjuvants are CPDA certified to support Titan Pro’s standards of quality, efficacy, and stewardship. (The only exceptions are Proteris Tank Cleaner and Proteris Defoamer/Antifoam as there is not currently a CPDA classification of standards for those classes of products).
Mix Tank is a powerful new mobile app designed to simplify the critical task of tank mixing for agricultural applicators. With a robust database of over 1,300 crop protection products from leading manufacturers, the app helps you determine proper mixing order and avoid costly compatibility issues. Beyond mixing, Mix Tank also records product rates and application details, generating convenient and accurate Spray Logs for streamlined record keeping.
