  • Publication number: 20220386616
    Abstract: Disclosed is a combination of encapsulated, in particular micro-encapsulated phenothrin and emulsified prallethrin in water, preferably in a ratio of 10:1. This combination has excellent suitability for use as an insecticide. The suitable concentration is about 0.1% by mass of phenothrin and 0.01% by mass of prallethrin. The insecticide is used at a concentration of 20 ml/m2 to 60 ml/m2 on non-porous surfaces or in a concentration of 40 ml/m2 to 120 ml/m2 on porous surfaces. Despite the low amounts of active ingredients, the insecticide shows a rapid knockdown effect and a prolonged depot effect.

  • Patent number: 9320270
    Abstract: Microencapsulated formulations of macrolide lactones (abamectin, milbemectin, milbemycins emamectin, avermectins, ivermectins) wherein the active ingredient is protected from UV-degradation, with exceptional release characteristics resembling those of an emulsion concentrate or, if desired, of long-lasting effect; further with appropriate rheological properties, and with reduced toxicity. The invention provides a unique microencapsulation process for the chemical stability and biological activity of mectins, e.g. abamectin, and provides microcapsules of mectins to be used in formulations CS, WG/CS, ZC, EC/CS and any formulation type containing microcapsules and combination with other biologically active ingredients.

  • Patent number: 9006145
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards microcapsules, uses and methods of microencapsulation with improved properties regarding agglomeration, bleeding and control of the reaction. The invention is especially suitable for chemical compounds with at least one carboxamide group, preferably for microencapsulation of those compounds wherein the carbonyl group is attached to a nitrogen atom or nitrogenated heterocycle and wherein the microencapsulation reaction may be too vigorous. The microcapsules are characterized by a mixed glycoluril-polyurea polymer wall, wherein the polyurea groups come from a urea-formaldehyde resin and not from isocyanate monomers or prepolymers. The process of making such microcapsules a dispersant in the oil phase of the type of block copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone/vinylalkene and/or vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate and the microencapsulation reaction may be carried out without the presence of any polyamine/polyol acting as a catalyst.

  • Patent number: 8911783
    Abstract: The invention relates to microcapsules, and a continuous micro-encapsulation water-in-oil-in-water microencapsulation process through in situ and interfacial polymerization of the emulsion. The formulation comprises a continuous water phase having a dispersion of microcapsules which contain oil drops and wherein the inside of each oil phase drop—containing optionally oil-soluble materials—there is a dispersion of water, or aqueous extract or water dispersible material or water soluble material. The oil drops are encapsulated with a polymerizable material of natural origin. Such microcapsules are appropriated for spray-dry processes, to be used as dry powder, lyophilized, self-emulsifiable powder, gel, cream and any liquid form. The active compounds included in the microcapsules are beneficial to the health and other biological purposes.

  • Patent number: 8337900
    Abstract: Disclosed are microcapsules and processes of microencapsulation of water soluble or water dispersible compounds by reverse-phase microencapsulation and ways to combine them with other oil soluble or oil dispersible compounds in suitable formulations that yield tiny microcapsules and a very homogeneous distribution of particle size. Multiple combinations of these reverse-phase microcapsules are disclosed, including in combination with normal-phase microcapsules in order to create a Capsule Mixed Suspension (CX) where an outer oil phase or, alternatively, a water phase contains microcapsules of two types: those with a core of water and active ingredients dissolved or dispersed therein, and those with a core of oil and active ingredients dissolved or dispersed therein. Water Dispersible Granules (WDG) and Emulsion Concentrates (EC) and Suspension Concentrates (SC) combinations with the reverse phase microcapsules are also successfully performed.

  • Patent number: 8293733
    Abstract: Selective insect neonicotinoids is a class of pesticide active ingredients that share some characteristics in their chemical structures and bind to the nAChR acetylcholine receptors. Formulation of such compounds in oil suspension or oil dispersion is challenging due to their electrostatic interactions of the heteroatoms in oily media, that lead to irreversible flocculation or diminished homogeneicity and bleeding of such oil dispersions. Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam, Thiachloprid, Nitenpyram, Acetamiprid, Clothianidin and Dinetofuran and derivatives thereof with nAChR binding ability are successfully formulated in oil suspension with the use of certain copolymeric anionic fatty-acid based dispersants, sorbitan derivatives, ionic surfactants, other non-ionic surfactants and inorganic polyvalent cationic salt dispersed in the oil.
