  • Patent number: 6284278
    Abstract: Method for the production of encapsulated water-soluble granulated chemicals (fertilizers, salts, pesticides, etc.) with slow controlled release in water and soil with a uniform distribution of the chemicals in a melted thermoplastic, biodegradable and inert polymer composition, with subsequent formation of clots, granules or other shapes. The uniform cross-linked polymer compositions are produced by combining the process of polymerization of neutralized unsaturated carboxylic acids and the process of polycondensation of thiourea with formaldehyde, and the cross-linking of the obtained macromolecules with sulfur. Thus method makes it possible to obtain encapsulated chemicals with a wide range of use, containing up to 85% of the target product, with a gradual release which lasts for up to 180 and more days.
