Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to insecticide formulations. The present disclosure relates more particularly to aqueous pymetrozine formulations that can be provided in concentrate form and methods for making them. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a composition including pymetrozine in particulate form; a first polymeric dispersing agent, the first polymeric dispersing agent being a copolymer of (a) a maleic acid monomer and (b) a hydrophobic monomer; and a second polymeric dispersing agent, the second polymeric dispersing agent being a copolymer of (a) a (meth)acrylic acid monomer, an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid monomer or a combination thereof, (b) a (meth)acrylamido alkyl or aryl sulfonate monomer; and (c) a third monomer selected from one or more of vinylic compounds, (meth)acrylic esters, vinyl acetate, and substituted (meth)acrylamides.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions containing a wetting agent, a polycarboxylate type surfactant, and a sulfonate type surfactant. The composition can be used as an additive package composition in a pesticide suspension concentrate formulation to enhance thermal stability.
Abstract:
Provided is a surfactant blend and its use as an adjuvant in agricultural compositions. The surfactant blend comprises: (a) an alkoxylate of formula I: R1O-(AO)x-(EO)y—H (I); and (b) an alkoxylate of formula II: R2O-(EO)r—(PO)p-(EO)q—H (II) wherein R1, R2, x, y, r, p, and q are as defined herein.
Abstract:
A waterborne polyurethane dispersion for the polyurethane foam of synthetic leather application, derived from (1) a prepolymer derived from the reaction of reactants comprising at least one aromatic isocyanate compound, an ethylene oxide-capped polyether triol, at least one polyether diol, and at least one polyester diol; (2) water; and (3) surfactant, is disclosed. The waterborne polyurethane dispersion can be used to prepare a synthetic leather product having superior wrinkle resistance, hand-feeling and peel strength. A synthetic leather article prepared with said waterborne polyurethane dispersion is also disclosed.
