Abstract:
This invention concerns a process for converting N-(2alkylidine) aminoguanidines, having 7 to 15 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, which are normally insoluble in petroleum oil, to soluble complexes by treatment with alkylated phenols, and to the oil-soluble complexes resulting therein. These N-(2-alkylidine) aminoguanidines have pesticidal, particularly anti-fungal activity.
Abstract:
This invention concerns a process for preparing water-inpetroleum type of micro emulsions. These emulsions are stable and clear and contain substantially greater quantities of watersoluble additives than it is normally possible to disperse when using the petroleum fraction alone.
Abstract:
Stable suspensions useful as high energy propellant and agricultural compositions comprising a finely-divided vehicleinsoluble organic or inorganic powder, 0.2 to 3.0 percent vehicle-insoluble microfibers and a liquid vehicle which is either a liquid hydrocarbon or a hydrocarbon soluble polar hydrocarbon derivative such as an amine, amide, ketone, alcohol, etc. The microfibers are either inorganic microfibers having an average particle between 0.01 and 2.0 microns or organic microfibers having an average fiber diameter between 1 and 20 microns. A typical stable suspension comprises 68.72 percent aluminum powder, 1.43 percent diethyl stearyl amide, 0.75 percent glass microfibers having an average fiber diameter of 0.05 to 0.2 microns and 29.1 percent kerosene. This stable suspension useful as a propellant was prepared by blending glass microfibers into the kerosene fraction to form a soft gel and separately blending the aluminum powder with distearyl amide; the aluminum-amide mixture is then slowly added to the glass fiber-kerosene gel until a buttery suspension is formed.
