Abstract: Flowable composites are disclosed which comprise a) microcapsules comprising one or more non-aqueous pesticidally active compositions enclosed in an inert water-soluble wall material; b) a non-aqueous liquid in an amount sufficient to maintain the composite flowable; the non-aqueous pesticidally active composition and the non-aqueous liquid being reactive with each other and the inert water-soluble wall material being insoluble in and impermeable to the non-aqueous liquid and the pesticidally active composition. Also disclosed are composites in which the pesticidally active compositions are internally-reactive in the presence of a non-aqueous liquid or solvent. Processes for production of the composites and their utilization as pesticides are also disclosed.

Abstract: A controlled release pharmaceutical preparation containing a micronized gastrointestinal irritant drug, such as potassium chloride, in a non-toxic protective balm. An irritant/balm admixture may be formed into microparticles. Alternatively, an irritant/balm admixture, may be used as the core for microcapsules. The microparticles or microcapsules may themselves be filled into a capsule or tabletted.
