  • Publication number: 20190335748
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous agrochemical spray solution containing an agrochemical active and a surfactant. The spray solution comprises a dispersed phase comprising dispersed particles which have an average particle size between 1 to 100 microns and the concentration of said dispersed particles is from about 0.001 to 5 wt %. The aqueous agrochemical spray solution is capable of reducing the volume of the fine droplets in mist whose size is less than 150 microns during spraying by at least 20% compared to the same aqueous spray solution without the presence of the surfactant. The present invention also relates to a method of reducing the spray drift of an aqueous agrochemical spray solution upon spraying with a spraying apparatus. The method includes adding the surfactant to the aqueous agrochemical spray solution in an amount effective to form the dispersed phase.

  • Patent number: 6329319
    Abstract: A seed coating composition for low temperature applications, said seed coating composition comprising at least one polymer having a Tg of −60° C. to 20° C., provided that the Tg of the polymer is less than or equal to the seed surface temperature at the time of application. The seed coating compositions of the invention provide a matrix which entraps active ingredients and improves seedling survival by maintaining the active ingredient on the surface of the seed for a period of time. The seed coating also increases the safety of using an active ingredient by reducing operator exposure and environmental release. In addition, the seed coating composition is resistant to cracking and flaking even when the seed coating composition is applied at a temperature of less than 20° C. Moreover, the seed coating composition improves the uniformity of seed size and shape which is advantageous to mechanical planting techniques.

  • Patent number: 6165613
    Abstract: This invention is an adhesive paste that consists essentially of a polymeric resin in particulate form and a carrier for the resin. The polymeric resin is present as particles with a particles size of 50 microns or smaller, is insoluble in the carrier at ambient temperature, and is soluble in the carrier at a temperature above ambient temperature. The carrier either reacts with the resin to form a covalent bond, or vaporizes from the adhesive paste, at a temperature above the temperature at which the resin is soluble in the carrier. The paste contains no inorganic fillers, holds its geometry on application, and fuses to a void-free bond.
