  • Publication number: 20180027803
    Abstract: The invention relates to a non-aqueous, emulsifiable and pourable concentrate formulation comprising: (a) at least 20% by weight of at least one non-ionic surfactant chosen from polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids surfactants, relative to the total weight of the concentrate formulation; (b) a liquid medium wholly or partly formed from at least one non esterified vegetable oil or mixtures thereof; (c) at least one phyllosilicate, said phyllosilicate being present in a content of less than or equal to 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the concentrate formulation; and (d) at least one activator of said phyllosilicate. The invention also relates to the use of such a concentrate formulation for preparing a liquid aqueous emulsion, a suspoemulsion or an agricultural oil dispersion.
