Description

Descriptive Report of the Invention Patent for STABLE OIL AGROCHEMICAL DISPERSIONS.

Field of the Invention [001] This invention relates to the use of dibenzylidene sorbitol (DBS) or chemical derivatives of DBS as rheology modifiers useful in the preparation of stable oil dispersion (OD) compositions of agrochemicals.

Background and Summary of the Invention [002] An agrochemical active ingredient, such as a herbicide, insecticide, or fungicide, or a herbicide antidote, can rarely be used in its originally produced form. Agrochemicals generally consist of two parts, the active ingredient and the co-formulants or inert ingredients combined in a formulation. The combination of these two parts in the final product is made with two main objectives in mind: (1) maintaining the product's stability during storage and (2) providing an easy and effective way to use the product by diluting it in a vehicle such as water or oil, and spray application to an area to be treated.

[003] Agrochemical formulations are generally designed based on the needs of users and the physicochemical properties of the active ingredients, for example, the solubility of the active ingredient in water and other non-aqueous solvents. There are two important categories of formulations: solid formulations and liquid formulations. Liquid formulations include emulsifiable concentrates (EC), suspension concentrates (SC), soluble liquids (SL), flowable liquids (F) and oily dispersions (OD). EC formulations consist of oil-soluble active ingredients dissolved in non-aqueous solvents to which emulsifying agents are added.

[004] The basic components of an agricultural OD formulation

2/28 la are the solvent or oily phase and the dispersed solid phase. These basic components can include active ingredients, petroleum or naturally derived solvents, antidotes, rheology additives, emulsifiers, dispersants and other co-formulants that help to provide the desired product attributes. The rheology additives provide physical stability to the formulation by increasing the viscosity of the liquid phase to prevent insoluble particles from the active ingredient from separating from the suspension and forming a layer at the bottom of the storage container. This phenomenon, known as sedimentation, can result in difficulties in the distribution and use of the product if the sedimented layer of particles forms a hard block that is difficult to disperse and resuspend. A related physical instability of liquid formulations is syneresis. The syneresis in an OD formulation is usually measured as the amount of top-clearing due to phase separation.

[005] The amount and severity of sedimentation that occurs in an OD formulation over time can be measured using a pourability test. This test is conducted by pouring the OD formulation from a container in a controlled manner and measuring the amount of formulation remaining in the container. The pourability index is the percentage by weight of material remaining in the container.

[006] The rheology additives used to control sedimentation, also known as thickeners, anti-caking agents, viscosity modifiers or structuring agents, generally provide an increased viscosity to the DO formulation. In addition to increasing the viscosity of the DO formulation, rheology additives have a shear attenuating capacity that allows the gel network they form to break easily with the application of a small external force. This shear attenuation

Petition 870180034295, of 04/27/2018, p. 8/45

3/28 allows the DO formulation to maintain its viscosity and physical stability while at rest, but allows this viscosity to dissipate quickly when an external force is applied so that the product can be easily poured or pumped out of its container, mixed in a vehicle such as water and applied to an area where it is needed.

[007] The rheology additives used in current products to increase viscosity are presented in many forms and chemicals. They can be minerals or mineral derivatives (for example, organo-clay, smoked silica), swelling polymers (for example, hydrogenated polyamides or castor oils), associative thickeners that form structures by themselves (for example, EO / block copolymers) PO), or they can be steric dispersants (for example, cellular polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidinones or polyacrylates). These rheological or structuring agents provide long-term stability when the product is at rest or is stored.

[008] Agrochemicals generally have to be diluted and appropriately dispersed in water before being applied. An emulsifying system can be included in the DO formulation to help disperse the water immiscible oil formulation in water. An emulsifying system commonly includes a mixture of nonionic and anionic surfactants in order to accommodate variations in water hardness and temperature found in various locations.

[009] For polar interactions, clays, organo-clays such as bentonite, hectorite or gibsite clays, which are also known as hydrophobically modified clays, hydrogenated castor oils, castor oil derivatives, polyamides, oxidized polar waxes, and hydrophobized smoked silica can be used as rheology aids in non-aqueous solvents. For controlled flocculation of pigments in paints, organic sulfates are commonly used. Poly

4/28 high molecular weight merers such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetobutyrate and artificial polymers such as polyacrylates, polystyrenes and polyisobutylene can also be used to increase viscosity in organic solvents. Finally, soaps such as aluminum stearate and magnesium stearate can be used to increase viscosity.

[0010] Natural clay products are generally layered silicates that can be effective thickeners for a wide range of applications. To make them dispersible in non-aqueous solvents, however, the clay surface is usually treated with quaternary ammonium. These modified clays are known as thickeners of the organo-clay type. These strongly agglomerated particles must first be humidified and then separated by shear forces. High shear mixing is desirable for this process. Activators such as alcohols can penetrate between the clay layers and help them form loose piles for ease of application. The typical rheological curve of the modified DO formulation with clay particles shows strong attenuating shear and thixotropic behavior. At a low shear stress, the clay structure may have some resistance to flow. As the shear stress increases, the applied shear force progressively destroys the clay network and the layered clay particles move with the flow. When the shear is removed, the clay net changes and the viscosity increases again. Depending on the type and origin of the clay products, it is important to know that the efficiency of increasing the rheology varies due to the difference in the sizes and shapes of the clay particles. Bohemian clay appears to be more effective in improving the rheological properties of a fluid than other types of clay due to its higher aspect ratio and therefore its surface area.

5/28 [0011] The thickening mechanism of hydrogenated castor oils and their derivatives, polyamides and oxidized polar waxes is based on the hydrogen bond, but these additives may be somewhat sensitive to the effects of temperature. The activation procedure of hydrogenated castor oil products requires both shear mixing and heat since these products are distributed as micronized powders. Similar to these organo-clays, these micronized powders need to be dispersed as a gel without complete dissolution in the solvent. The first step is the swelling of the crystalline particles by the solvent using shear and heat to provide swollen particles that are fully separated and dispersed. The activation temperature is dependent on the type of solvent. Care must be taken not to exceed the activation temperature, as otherwise castor oil derivatives will dissolve completely, lose their thickening properties and recrystallize when they cool. It is usually possible to make a pre-gel to facilitate the use of these materials.

[0012] The third type of rheology modifiers that require polar interactions to establish a three-dimensional network are those based on smoked silica. Smoked silica, whether hydrophilic or hydrophobic, is composed of nanodimensioned primary silica particles linked together to form segregated in the form of a chain. Due to their extremely high surface area and great compatibility with solvents, smoked silica products are widely used in the formulation of industrial products and consumer products. Although both hydrophilic and hydrophobic smoked silica can be used in DO formulations as thickening agents, hydrophobic silica generally offers rheological properties that are easier to control in non-aqueous formulations than hydrophilic silica.

6/28 [0013] The rheology additives used in DO formulations to ensure that suspended particles of active ingredients are not susceptible to irreversible sedimentation can be used alone or in combination with other rheology additives. It is very common to combine one or more rheology additives in a single DO formulation to obtain the desired rheological properties and, at the same time, to minimize any adverse reactions that may occur between the ingredients. The appropriate choice and amounts of OD thickeners can increase the thickening effectiveness and range of application of a particular formulation. Factors to be considered when choosing rheology additives to design a stable DO system are the type of solvent, interactions with emulsifiers, robustness in activating thickeners, and the sensitivity of the final system to temperature.

[0014] While there are many rheology modifiers available for use in stabilizing agrochemical OD formulations to particle sedimentation, there is a constant need for new rheology modifiers due to limitations with existing choices, incompatibilities with surfactants, and diversity in chemistry new active ingredients and solvents that are currently being discovered and developed. In addition, the growing number of active ingredients included in a single formulation can also present formulation challenges. These limitations can be overcome by the discovery of new rheology modifiers that act in new ways or at lower concentrations.

[0041] The insecticidal or fungicidal active ingredients of the present invention may comprise, in relation to the total composition, from about 1 g / L to 700 g / L, preferably from about 5 g / L to 500 g / L.

[0042] It is generally desirable to incorporate one or more surfactants into the compositions of the present invention. Surfactants can be of anionic, cationic or non-ionic character and can be used as emulsifying agents, wetting agents, suspending agents, or for other purposes. Surfactants conventionally used in the formulation technique and which can also be used in the present formulations are described, inter alia, in McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual, MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, New Jersey, 1998 and in Encyclopedia of Surfactants, Vol. I- III, Chemical publishing Co., New York, 1980-81. Typical surfactants include alkyl sulfate salts, such as diethanolammonium lauryl sulfate; alkylarylsulfonate salts, such as calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate; products of the addition of alkylphenol-alkylene oxide, such as nonylphenol-C18 ethoxylate; products of the addition of alcohol-alkylene oxide, such as tridecyl alcohol-Cw ethoxylate; soaps, such as sodium stearate, alkylnaphthalenesulfonate salts, such as sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate; dialkyl esters of salts of, such as sodium di (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate; sorbitol esters; such as sorbitol oleate; quaternary amines, such as lautil trimethylammonium chloride; fatty acid esters with polyethylene glycol, such as polyethylene glycol stearate; block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; salts of mono- and dialkyl phosphate esters; vegetable oil such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, castor oil, sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, flaxseed oil, palm oil, peanut oil, safflower oil,

22/28 sesame, tung oil, among others; and esters from the above vegetable oils.

[0043] The composition of the present invention can optionally include one or more additional inert ingredients such as defoaming agents, adjuvants, stabilizers, fragrances, sequestering agents, neutralizing agents, buffers, corrosion inhibitors, dyes, odorants and other commonly used ingredients.

[0044] The effective amount of the OD formulation of the present invention to be employed in a typical agricultural application often depends, for example, on the type of plant, the stage of development of the plant, the severity of environmental conditions, weeds, insects or fungal pathogens to be controlled and the application conditions. Typically, a plant in need of protection from weeds or insects, or to control or eliminate disease-causing pathogens, is contacted with an amount of the DO formulation diluted in a vehicle such as water that will provide an amount of about 1 at about 40,000 ppm, preferably from about 10 to about 20,000 ppm of the active ingredient. Contact can be made in any effective way. For example, any exposed part of the plant, for example, leaves or stems can be sprayed with the active ingredient in admixture with an appropriate amount of a diluent or carrier such as water.

[0045] The above-mentioned compositions of the present invention can be applied to the foliage of plants or to the soil or area adjacent to the plant. Additionally, the compositions of the present invention can be mixed or applied with any combination of agriculturally active ingredients such as herbicides, insecticides, bacteriocides, nematocides, miticides, biocides, termiticides, rodenticides, molluscs, arthropodicides, fertilizers, growth regulators, and

Petition 870180034295, of 04/27/2018, p. 28/45

23/28 pheromones.

[0046] In a typical procedure for preparing an OD formulation of the present invention, a DBS pre-gel is first prepared by dispersing and activating the DBS in the solvent with shear and heat mixing. After cooling to room temperature, the DBS pre-gel is then added, with mixing, to a mixture previously formed by shear mixing the active ingredient and any other ingredients with the solvent.

[0047] An example of a stable OD formulation of the present invention in which sedimentation of the dispersed active ingredient is delayed by DBS comprises:

a) a solvent comprising, for the total composition, from about 200 g / L to about 999 g / L of Aromatic 200ND;

b) a rheology additive comprising, for the total composition, from about 0.1 g / L to about 100 g / L of dibenzylidene sorbitol;

c) an active ingredient comprising, for the total composition, from about 1 g / L to about 200 g / L of pyroxsulam;

d) optionally, other inert formulation ingredients.

Examples [0048] To properly activate DBS, a 1.5% pre-gel solution of DBS in an aromatic solvent (for example, ExxonMobil Aromatic 200 naphthalene exhausted) was made by dispersing 1.5 g of DBS in 98 , 5 g of Aromatic 200 under high shear, heating the mixture to 50-55 ° C for 15 minutes, and cooling the mixture to room temperature with a low shear mixture. The resulting mixture should look semi-olympic to clear and have highly thixotropic gel properties.

[0049] The compositions of the present invention shown in the Table

Petition 870180034295, of 04/27/2018, p. 29/45

24/28 were prepared using the following procedure: 1) the amount of solvent shown in Table 1 was loaded into a glass beaker equipped with a mechanical stirrer; 2) the 1.5% DBS pre-gel was added to the beaker with constant mixing; 3) the active ingredient was then added to the mixture; 4) the mixture was stirred until it was homogeneous and then sonicated for 10 minutes to give the test sample. All samples were stable to sedimentation after 24 hours at room temperature by visual inspection.

[0052] Samples 9 and 10 were exposed to a variety of temperature conditions including constant temperatures of 54 ° C and 40 ° C, and cycles of -10 ° C / 40 ° C for one day, in order to assess their stability to storage. Chemical tests were measured after 2 weeks of storage and it was found that formulations 9 and 10 were chemically stable without detecting loss of the active ingredient under all storage conditions. The samples were also compared based on their strain strain which is known to be an indicator of the strength of the rheological structure and therefore of the stability of the formulations. The higher the strain value, the stronger the resistance of the gel and

27/28 therefore improves the stability of the formulation. The strain strain was measured using a TA Instruments AR1000 rheometer equipped with a 4 mm crosshatched plate. The viscosity-tension curve was obtained by shearing at steady state by operating the rheometer from the lowest possible torque with the equipment up to 10,000 micro Newton meters (mNm). The strain strain was then calculated by the software on the rheometer as the initial stress value measured in Pascals (Pa) to induce the sample to flow. The strain strain measurements of samples 9 and 10 are shown in Table 5. The results show that formulations 9 and 10 showed high and very stable strain values when subjected to various storage conditions indicating that a stable rheological structure was present in each formulation.

[0053] The pourability of a particular OD formulation is a measure of the amount of sedimentation that occurs over time and how resistant the sediment is to being dumped from the container into which it is stored. The pourability index can be measured using the CIPAC MT 148.1 method, Suspension Concentrate Dump. In this method, the sus concentrate

28/28 pension is allowed to stand for a defined period of time and then subjected to a standardized eviction procedure. The amount of material remaining in the container after pouring is determined and reported as the% by weight of material remaining in the container. The weight% of material remaining after pouring is known as the pourability index. A glass bottle containing the Formulation 10 sample was left to stand at room temperature for 24 hours and then the contents of the bottle were poured out using the CIPAC MT 148.1 method. It was found that the residual amount of Formulation 10 remaining in the bottle after pouring was 1.77% by weight of the original amount, thus giving a pourability index of 1.77% for Formulation 10.
