Abstract: This invention relates to a biocidal composition resistant to the formation of a gel and to the method for stabilizing a concentrate containing, in addition to the biocide, a carbodiimide, a lipophilic/hydrophilic emulsifier mixture having a HLB of 6 to 20 and optionally an oil and/or an alkoxylated ester of a polyhydroxylated compound, by adding to the concentrate an effective anti-gelling amount of an anti-gelling agent selected from the group of an inorganic oxide, a epoxidized naturally occurring or synthetic vegetable oil and an epoxylated ester of a saturated or unsaturated C6 to C18 aliphatic acid optionally containing hydroxy substitution and mixtures of the foregoing anti-gelling agents.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of (a) 0.1-40% by wt. of a low molecular weight, low melting point, water-insoluble polymer in which the polymer particles have a size <10 microns, and (b) 0.001-30% by wt. of an anionic emulsifier.

Abstract: A clear emulsifiable concentrate of a water-insoluble fungicide, without nonylphenol ethoxylate, that can be diluted in water to produce an aqueous ready-to-use formulation free from crystal formation or decomposition.

Abstract: A dry flowable agricultural composition made by mixing glyphosate and an anhydrous base salt with a sulfonylurea herbicide and stabilizer (sodium metasilicate or sodium carbonate), all of which is combined a heat activated binder without using a drying step.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for encapsulation, and particularly to the production of small or minute capsules constituted by a skin or thin wall of polymeric material e.g., polyurea, polyamide, polysulfonamide, polyester, polycarbonate, or polyurethane, which involves first providing an aqueous solution (continuous phase liquid) containing an emulsifier which is a water soluble, alkylated polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer which will form a stable oil-in-water emulsion under the process conditions described herein. A discontinuous (immiscible or organic) phase liquid containing a water-immiscible material which is the material to be encapsulated, plus a first shell wall component; is dispersed in the aqueous liquid to form an oil-in-water emulsion. The second shell wall component is added to the oil-in-water emulsion whereupon the first shell wall component reacts with the second shell wall component to form a solid polycondensate shell wall about the material to be encapsulated.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for encapsulation, and particularly to the production of small or minute capsules constituted by a skin or thin wall of polyurea, which involves bringing together an aqueous phase containing a lignin sulfonate emulsifier and a water-immiscible phase containing a water-immiscible material, the material to be encapsulated, plus polymethylene polyphenylisocyanate, dipersing the water-immiscible phase in the aqueous phase followed by addition of a polyfunctional amine. Polymethylene polyphenylisocyanate reacts with the amine to form a solid polyurea shell wall about the encapsulated material. The capsules formed may be directly used as aqueous suspensions.

Abstract: Corrosion of metal surfaces contacted by aqueous agricultural compositions containing as an active ingredient an aminomethylenephosphonic acid, such as N-phosphonomethylglycine or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof is inhibited by the inclusion in the compositions of an inhibiting amount of a thiol compound or salt thereof.
