Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous resin emulsions containing at least a non-ionic surfactant of general formula R1-(A1O)n-(A2O)x-(A3O)y—R2, obtained by the phase inversion emulsification process. In particular, the invention relates to aqueous resin emulsions commonly used in solvent-based paints, such as, for example, alkyd resins. Said emulsions are stabilized by non-ionic and anionic surfactant compositions which promote the inversion of the water-oil to oil-water phases in the presence of low water content, enabling water-oil type emulsions to be obtained with high productivity and high solids content, even in low shear conditions.

Abstract: This invention describes an adjuvant composition comprising a blend containing fatty acid esters with an alkoxylated polyol for drift reduction during the application of agrochemical product. This invention further describes the incorporation of this adjuvant composition in agrochemical formulations or the addition thereof in a step prior to its application, directly in the spray mix. The adjuvant composition described in this invention is compatible with a great variety of pesticides and inert components used in agrochemical compositions and proved to be able of reducing the formation of fine droplets, responsible for the formation of drift in more than one type of nozzle, without increasing the relative amplitude of the droplet spectrum, thus avoiding compromising the effectiveness of the active ingredient.
