Abstract: An agrochemical microemulsion containing: (a) an alkyl (oligo)glycoside; and (b) an oil phase containing: (i) an organic water-insoluble solvent selected from the group consisting of N,N-dimethyl amides of C8-22 fatty acids, glycerol C8-22 fatty acid esters of natural or synthetic origin, dialkyl ether having a total of from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, monohydric primary alcohols having from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof; and (ii) an agrochemical, and wherein 80% of the microemulsion contains droplets between 10 and 100 nm in size.

Abstract: The invention relates to multiphase lubricant concentrates with improved properties for use in aqueous fluids for geological exploration by drilling which contain organic lubricating components which are solid and/or liquid at room temperature (O phase) together with emulsifiers finely dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase (W phase). These concentrates are characterized in that the system of O phase/W phase and emulsifiers has a phase inversion temperature (PIT) above room temperature and has been produced by heating the multiphase system to temperatures equal to or above the PIT and subsequent cooling to temperatures below the PIT. The present invention also relates to the use of the multiphase lubricant concentrates as an additive in water-based fluids for use in geological exploration by drilling and for the subsequent treatment of the resulting boreholes.

Abstract: The invention relates to flowable and pumpable multicomponent mixtures based on a multiphase mixture of water and oil containing emulsifiers and, if desired, other soluble, emulsifiable and/or dispersible auxiliaries for their use in exploration by drilling and/or for the further treatment of the wells thus drilled. The invention is characterized by the use of emulsifiers or emulsifier systems which, in the particular multicomponent mixture in question, lead to temperature-controlled phase inversion at a phase inversion temperature (PIT) in a temperature range of which the upper limit is so far below the working temperature of the multicomponent mixture in geological exploration that the water-based part of the multicomponent mixture is present as a disperse (invert) phase in the continuous oil phase (w/o invert emulsion) while the lower limit of this temperature range enables the multicomponent mixture to be converted into an o/w emulsion with a continuous aqueous phase.

Abstract: The invention relates to translucent antiperspirants based on finely-divided, sprayable microemulsions. The invention also relates to microemulsion concentrates and a method for the production of antiperspirants from such concentrates.
