Spanish term
topes de suspensión
Spanish to English

Agriculture
This is from a questionnaire about prescribing chemical products to treat crops, and should be translated into US English. The context is:
Minimizar el tiempo necesario para determinar qué aditivos serán mejores para mejorar la miscibilidad de la mezcla en tanque, p. ej., los topes de suspensión, reguladores de pH, agentes de compatibilidad, etc.
Can anyone help with 'topes de suspensión'?

"tope" as in "limit", "suspension" as in a mixture in which small particles of a substance are dispersed throughout a gas or liquid. Could be??
Discussion
Thanks for your thoughts. I believe the text had been translated into Spanish before coming to me, so it's entirely possible it was a bad translation to begin with.
Another colleague suggested to me that I could use 'suspension agents/aids', and that seems to fit more or less with what you're suggesting.

I don't think it can be a typo because it appears again a bit later. The second time the context is:
'Minimizar el tiempo necesario para determinar qué combinación de aditivos usar para la mezcla en tanque, p. ej., adyuvantes/surfactantes, agentes de compatibilidad, topes de suspensión, etc.'
Does it make any more sense there?
Thanks,
Susie
