摘要:
A method for reducing the rate of diffusion of a slow-release material through a host polymer material to increase the useful life of a slow-release product. An inert fine particulate inorganic material such as an intercalation material having a layered structure is incorporated into a mixture of the slow-release material and the host polymer. The intercalation material has its layers intercalated with molecules of the slow-release material which are accommodated within spaces between the layers of the intercalation material. The particulate material slows the diffusion rate of the slow-release material through the host polymer when compared with the diffusion rate of the same slow-release material through the same host polymer not containing the particulate material. In one embodiment, the intercalation material comprises a nano-clay, the host polymer is a polyolefin, and the slow-release material is a bioactive material such as dinitroanaline. The slow-release product can comprise a drip irrigation emitter device or tube or tape or device used adjacent to an emitter to protect against root intrusion. The intercalation material can comprise a layered nano-clay produced by contacting the clay with a surface modifier to achieve sorption and complexing of the surface modifier between adjacent spaced layers of the clay material, sufficient to expand the spacing between adjacent platelets. This is followed by exfoliating the surface-treated material to separate the platelets, followed by mixing the exfoliated platelets with the polymeric material to form a polymeric matrix from which drip irrigation products can be made.

Dry, stable, high available halogen sanitizing granular compositions with a rapid rate of dissolution comprising halogenated 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones and a dissolution accelerant that is an alkali metal salt of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione are disclosed. The disclosed compositions may include inorganic and/or organic disintegration agents. Additionally, these compositions may contain other performance enhancing additives such as water clarifiers, algaestats/algaecides, surfactants, glidants, processing aids, and binders. These UV stable sanitizing compositions contain a high available halogen content, and are stable even when stored in high-humidity environments.

In an agricultural chemicals composition which is scattered by being thrown directly into a submerged paddy field, it is an object to provide a composition having an excellent spreadability without stagnation of an agrochemically active ingredient at the point of treatment (application), and in particular to provide a labor-saving formulation for scattering (application) which contains a liquid agrochemically active ingredient at room temperature, and to provide an agricultural chemicals composition containing a liquid agrochemically active ingredient at room temperature in high concentrations, which have been difficult to be realized. The agricultural chemicals composition prepared by letting a granular nucleus coated with a water-soluble polymer or water-swellable substance hold agrochemically active ingredients and, if necessary, surfactants, and a method of scattering (applying) a granular agricultural chemicals formulation comprising the step of throwing the agricultural composition directly into a submerged paddy field at a rate of 20 g to 2,000 g thereof per 10 are of the paddy field, or packing 10 g to 100 g of the agricultural chemicals composition per bag made of a water-soluble film and throwing directly into a paddy field at a rate of 2 to 20 bags per 10 are.

摘要:
A composition suitable for topical application to human skin comprises, in addition to a suitable vehicle and a perfume, an active ingredient which can control skin barrier functions. The active ingredient is (a) a long chain .omega.-hydroxy fatty acid or a carboxy-substituted derivative, (b) an hydroxy- or epoxy-derivative of an essential fatty acid or an ester formed between (a) and (b). Certain novel compounds of structures (a), (b) and (a)(b) esters are also claimed.
摘要:
An allergen absorbent and blocking aerosol composition for topical application to the skin comprises a highly activated organophilic clay of the smectite type, ion exchanged with a quaternary ammonium compound having aryl or alkyl groups in the range of from 10 to 22 carbon atoms, and a vehicle comprising one or more long-chain hydrocarbons or volatile silicone oils. The composition is preferably in the form of an aerosol composition additionally comprising an aerosol propellant. The composition is applied to the skin, preferably by spraying, to block and absorb the allergenic oils of toxic plants such as poison ivy and the like.

Disclosed are antiperspirant gel stick compositions substantially free of unbound water comprising from about 5 to about 50% of a solubilized antiperspirant active, from about 7% to about 35% of intermediate polarity emollients, from about 1% to about 5% of a benzylidene sorbitol, from about 15% to about 75% of a polar solvent, from about 1% to about 20% of a coupling agent and from about 0.5% to about 10% of a bufferieng agent. These antiperspirant gel sticks provide very stable antiperspirant compositions with good efficacy as well as excellent cosmetic anesthetics which are further characterized by their ease of manufacture. Also disclosed is a method for the manufacture of these gel sticks as well as a method for treating or preventing perspiraton and malodor associated with human underarm perspiration.
