  • High-strength, low viscosity herbicidal concentrate of clopyralid dimethylamin
    Patent number: 8669210
    Abstract: This invention relates to a high-strength, aqueous herbicidal concentrate containing the clopyralid dimethylamine salt. The formulation is stable to storage and exhibits lower viscosity than other clopyralid amine salt formulations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 11, 2014
    Assignee: Dow AgroSciences, LLC.
    Inventor: Robert M. Buttimor
  • Stable emulsifiable concentrates containing a first herbicidal carboxylic acid salt and a second herbicidal carboxylic acid ester
    Patent number: 8309491
    Abstract: Stable emulsifiable concentrates containing a first herbicidal carboxylic acid in the salt form and a second herbicidal carboxylic acid in the ester form are prepared by using a tertiary amine to prepare the salt of the first herbicidal carboxylic acid and by using an alcohol which is the same as the ester portion of the second carboxylic acid herbicide as the solvent.
    Type: Grant

  • STABLE EMULSIFIABLE CONCENTRATE FORMULATION
    Publication number: 20090215797
    Abstract: The use of an N,N-dimethyl alkylamide or an N-alkanoyl morpholine provides a stable emulsifiable concentrate composition that hinders de-esterification and transesterification of mixtures of a carboxylic acid herbicide and an ester of a different carboxylic acid herbicide. The N,N-dimethyl alkylamide or N-alkanoyl morpholine additionally stabilizes emulsifiable concentrates containing a triazolopyrimidine herbicide having at least one methoxy group on the triazolopyrimidine ring.
