  • Publication number: 20240423198
    Abstract: Suspension concentrate dispersants A novel suspension type water medium agrochemical formulation comprising adjuvants selected from a copolymer dispersant comprising a copolymer of acrylic 5 acid, hydrophobic monomer, alkylacrylate of a monoalkyl polyethylene glycol, C10 to C30 alkoxylated mono- and/or di-ester phosphate, and optionally strong acid derivatives of (meth)acrylic acid; non-ionic graft copolymer of acrylic ester and oxyalkylene; and having hydrophobic solid agrochemical active dispersed in aid water medium. A concentrate is also provided suitable for forming the formulation. The 10 combination of copolymers provide dispersancy for the hydrophobic solid agrochemical active in the water medium of the suspension concentrate withsignificantly reduced crystal growth. There is also provided the use of said copolymers as dispersants for hydrophobic solid agrochemical active in agrochemical formulations.

  • Patent number: 11044906
    Abstract: An emulsion polymer system suitable for use in agrochemical formulations for coating seeds. The emulsion polymer system comprises a core polymer and stabiliser polymer where the core is a polymer with a low glass transition temperature (?100° C. to 10° C.) and the stabiliser has a high glass transition temperature (30° C. to 300° C.). There is also provided a method of making the core-stabiliser system. The core-stabiliser system is suitable for seed coating formulations provided dust off, germination, and good flow.
