  • Patent number: 6727204
    Abstract: The invention concerns the use, in an aqueous spray mixture comprising a phytosanitary formulation, of an anti-leaching agent comprising: at least a polyhydroxyl and/or polycarboxyl polymer or copolymer; at least a crosslinking agent comprising a metal selected among columns IVA, IB and IIIB of the periodic table; said anti-leaching agent being, in the aqueous spray mixture, in the form of an aqueous solution or dispersion having a polymer or copolymer concentration such that the viscosity of the anti-leaching agent is not more than 10 times the viscosity of the aqueous solution in polymer or copolymer without crosslinking agent, having the same concentration.

  • Patent number: 6624136
    Abstract: The invention concerns water dispersible granulates comprising: at least a hydrophobic perfume (P), in the form of droplets, finely divided in and encapsulated by a water soluble or water dispersible solid organic matrix (MO) selected among: polypeptides (PP) of plant or synthetic origin; polyelectrolytes (PE) belonging to the family of weak polyacids; or their mixtures; and at least an emulsifying agent (AE) at the droplet/matrix interface. The invention also concerns a method, in two steps, for preparing said granulates, the first step consisting in preparing an emulsion in water comprising at least a hydrophobic perfume (P), at least an emulsifying agent (AE); and said water soluble or water dispersible organic matrix (MO), the second step consisting in drying said emulsion until a granulate is formed.

  • Patent number: 6596337
    Abstract: The invention concerns a dry emulsion characterised in that it is obtained by drying a dispersion of at least a weakly soluble edible substance also called active substance (MA) in a continuous phase comprising: at least an emulsifier (E) containing at least a partially hydrolysed vegetable protein (protein lysate) whereof the degree of hydrolysis ranges between 0 (excluded) and less than 5%; and at least a water soluble or water dispersible interstitial filler (ARI) containing at least a partially hydrolysed vegetable protein (protein lysate) whereof the degree of hydrolysis ranges between 5 and 40%. The invention also concerns a method for preparing said emulsions, comprising the following steps: (i) a first step consists in preparing a dispersion in water or in an aqueous phase comprising at least a hydrophobic active substance (MA), at least an emulsifier (E), and at least a filler (ARI); (ii) the second step consists in drying said dispersion until a dry emulsion is formed.

  • Patent number: 6465414
    Abstract: The invention concerns water dispersible granulates comprising at least a hydrophobic organic active substance (MA) solid or with melting point less than 100° C., in the form of particles, finely divided inside and encapsulated by a solid matrix and a water soluble or water dispersible polypeptide (PP) synthetic or of plant origin and at least an ionic or amphoteric dispersing agent (D) at the active substance/matrix interface. The invention also concerns the method for preparing said granulates in two steps, the first step consisting in preparing a dispersion in water comprising at least a hydrophobic active substance, at least an ionic or amphoteric dispersing agent (D) and at least a water soluble or water dispersible polypeptide (PP) synthetic or of plant origin, and the second step consisting in drying the dispersion until a granulate is formed.
