What characteristic defines Water Dispersible Granules compared to Soluble Powders?

Water Dispersible Granules (WDG) are characterized by being compressed in a way that minimizes dust production during handling and application. This compression allows for a more uniform distribution of the active ingredient when mixed with water. The reduced dustiness makes WDG safer to use and provides a cleaner handling experience, which is a significant advantage in agricultural applications and other uses where reduced inhalation of fine particles is essential.

In contrast, soluble powders do not have the same dust-free characteristic since they can produce significant dust during mixing and application. This difference is critical for users who are looking for formulations that are easy to handle and reduce health hazards associated with inhaling dust. Other characteristics of WDG, like requiring less agitation or dissolving easily in water, do not distinctly set them apart from soluble powders in the same way that the dust-free property does.
