Although they can synthesize them on their own, this process comes at a high energy cost.

That’s why applying exogenous amino acids —pure and readily available for absorption— helps plants save energy and redirect it towards growth, recovery, and stress defense.

But not all amino acids are created equal.

Choosing the right ones can make all the difference — both for agronomic performance and formulation efficiency.

What do amino acids actually do in plants?

Their role goes far beyond being a source of nitrogen:

They act as chelating agents, enhancing micronutrient absorption.

They improve tolerance to abiotic stress (temperature, salinity, drought).

They facilitate the formulation of biostimulants, improving compatibility and synergies.

And in field trials, their application has shown yield increases of over 22% (Front. Plant Sci., 2018).

Moreover, combining several amino acids is more effective than using them individually — provided the optimal dosage is respected to avoid phytotoxicity.

So… how do you choose the right amino acid?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your goal:

Are you looking for a specific agronomic effect?

Do you have formulation, solubility or compatibility constraints?

Do you need to optimize cost in use (€/kg vs % nitrogen)?
Should your product comply with REACH or FPR regulations?

At Caldic, we help you make informed decisions

We offer a wide range of isolated and hydrolyzed amino acids, sourced from biofermentation or synthesis, and work with competitive and reliable suppliers, fully aligned with European market requirements.

And just as important, we provide technical support to help you choose the best option based on your priorities.

Looking to develop a more effective biostimulant?

Let’s talk. We’ll help you select the most suitable amino acids for your agronomic, formulation, cost or regulatory needs.

Siliconi offers sustainability without concessions: High-performance ECO Antifoams. ANTIFOAM WS 942 / WS 943 / WS 343 range

In the quest for more sustainable formulations, paint and coatings manufacturers face a challenge: finding eco-friendly alternatives for each component without sacrificing performance or significantly increasing costs.

SILICONI COMMERCIALE S.p.A., a leading supplier of antifoaming, leveling, and water-repellent additives—distributed by CALDIC IBÉRICA (MOLINA)—has developed a range of ECO antifoams that solve this equation when it comes to foam control. These formulations are based on natural oils and renewable raw materials.

Green Innovation in Antifoams

Traditional antifoams are primarily based on silicones or mineral oils, materials that can generate non-biodegradable residues and impact the sustainability of the final product.

SILICONI has taken a cleaner approach: 100% solid or emulsion-based antifoams that contain no VOCs or APEOs, while maintaining the required efficiency in high- and low-PVC paints.

What Benefits Do They Bring to Your Formulations?

Eco-friendly without compromising performance: Effectively control foam without affecting application or the final appearance of the paint.

Tailored solutions for every need: Available in 100% solid or emulsion-based formulations.

Optimized cost-efficiency: Do not significantly impact the overall formulation cost.

Custom developments: Siliconi offers the possibility of creating customized ECO-based solutions to meet the specific needs of each manufacturer.

At Caldic/R. Molina, as experts in industrial solutions, we work hand in hand with you, providing recommendations and sourcing innovative ingredients that, whenever possible, align with the latest sustainability standards.
