Abstract:
The invention relates to low-foam surfactant mixtures containing esters of general formula (I) and their alcohols of general formula (Ia), wherein R represents a branched or unbranched alkyl group with 8 to 22 carbon atoms; Ra and R1 independently of one another represent hydrogen or a branched or unbranched alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R2 represents a branched or unbranched alkyl group with 5 to 17 carbon atoms; l and n independently of one another represent a number from 1 to 5 and m is a number from 38 to 70. The ratio of the molar quantities of the esters (I) to the alcohols (Ia) is at least 17:3. The invention also relates to methods for the production of said mixtures, to their use and to detergent and cleaning agent formulations containing said mixtures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to agrochemical compositions which comprise certain alcohol alkoxylates of the amphiphilic type and to the use of the alcohol alkoxylates as potentiating adjuvant in the agrochemical sector and in particular in the crop protection sector. The alcohol alkoxylates are alkoxylated alcohols of the formula (I) R-O-[(CnH2nO)x-(PhC2H3O)y-(CmH2mO)z]co-H (I) in which R represents a hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 30 carbon atoms; n, m independently of one another represent a value of from 2 to 16; x represents a value of from 0 to 100; y represents a value of from 0.5 to 100; z represents a value of from 0 to 100; and x+y+z corresponds to a value of from 2 to 100, with at least one of x or z being greater than 0.
