Valerio BRAMATI and Antonio MARCHETTO SHELSTON WATERS 55 Clarence Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 "FLUID CONCENTRATED FORMULATIONS CONTAINING PHOSPHATED POLYALKOXYLATED TRISTYRYLPHENOL DERIVATIVES WHICH ARE USEFUL IN PARTICULAR IN
AGROCHEMISTRY"
p.

p p pp The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us:- -la- The subject of the present invention is the development of fluid formulations, which are stable with time, of phosphated polyalkoxylated tristyrylphenol derivatives.
Commercial formulations containing phosphated polyethoxylated tristyrylphenol salts currently available use, as corresponding vehicle, mainly monopropylene glycol.
For reasons of physicochemical stability, these liquid formulations cannot unfortunately exceed concentrations of approximately 40% by weight of tristyrylphenol derivatives.
At higher concentrations, a separation phenomenon is encountered which is harmful to the homogeneity of the formulation and which causes significant difficulties when it is So later used.
In relation to the abovementioned disadvantages, this limitation in concentration of course represents a significant handicap as regards logistics and it would be desirable on an industrial scale to be freed of it.
:i The present invention provides fluid composition which is stable with time and with temperature, comprising at least one phosphated polyalkoxylated tristyrylphenol or I 15 a salt thereof and a diluent, wherein the said diluent is glycerol and the concentration of the phosphated polyalkoxylated tristyrylphenol or salt thereof in the diluent is at least by weight.
Preferably the concentration of phosphated polyalkoxylated tristyrylphenol or salt thereof in the said diluent is in the order of 50 to 80% by weight, and most preferably in the order of 70% by weight.
Glycerol unexpectedly turns out to be an advantageous substitute for monopropylene glycol.
-2- Like the latter, it proves to be a good solvent for phosphated polyalkoxylated tristyrylphenol derivatives and for their salts and advantageously, in comparison with monopropylene glycol, leads to corresponding formulations which are markedly more concentrated and stable.
Whereas monopropylene glycol does not make it possible to achieve concentrations greater than 40%, glycerol leads efficiently to formulations enriched up to in active products.
a Of course, these enriched formulations additionally retain the required qualities, namely good fluidity and good stability with time and with temperature.
10 Phosphated polyalkoxylated tristyrylphenol derivatives is understood to cover, according to the invention, derivatives in which the alkoxyl units are preferably oxyethylene and/or oxypropylene units. The number of these units generally varies between 4 and 100 depending on the desired hydrophile/lipophile balance. The number of these units preferably varies between 5 and 40. It can in particular be an e a ethoxylated/propoxylated tristyrylphenol derivative having oxyethylene (OE) and/or oxypropylene (OP) units with an OE/OP ratio which can vary between 100/0 and 50/50.
Mention may in particular be made, as specific examples of this type of surface-active agents, of phosphated ethoxylated tristyrylphenols containing 16, 20, 25 or 40 OE units and those containing 25 OE OP units.
These compounds are preferably in the form of their salts and more particularly of their alkali metal and alkaline-earth metal salts, such as the K, Na, NH 4 Ca, Mg, Zn and the like.
Glycerol can be used as the sole solvent or mixed with other solvents usual for this type of .surface-active agents. Of course, it is clear that, in the second possibility, the propcirtion of glycerol must remain such that corresponding -ormulations are obtained which are fluid and stabilized'with time'aid with temperature. This adjustment is only a routine ee matter for anyone skilled in the art.
*99 Mention may be made, as solvent capable of being introduced into the claimed composition as a mixture with glycerols, of in particular: water, monopropylene glycol, monoethylene glycol, glycols such as diethylene glycol, alcohols such as isobutanol and cyclohexanol, or alternatively N-methylpyrrolidine. It is understood that this list of solvents capable of being combined with glycerol is in no way limiting and that is within the capability of those skilled in the art to complete it.
Mention will very particuiarly be made, as preferred formulation according to the invention, of a composition containing 70% by weight of potassium salt of phosphated polyethoxylated tristyrylphenol, containing 16 OE units, in solution in glycerol.
Of course, the compositions according to the invention can additionally incorporate other conventional additives of antifreeze, dye, anti-foam or protecting agent, with respect to oxidation, U.V, radiation or pH variation, type.
1: The compositions according to the invention turn out to be particularly useful in 10 stabilizing active materials in formulations of dispersion, suspension or suspoemulsion type and the like, A dispersion is a general term referring to any two heterogeneous non miscible 0 °phases which are put together; it can be two non miscible liquids (emulsion), or it can be 0 a solid in a liquid (suspension).
0.
is A suspension results when a solid is dispersed in a liquid; this is also called a 000 colloidal sol.
A suspension concentrate is when there is a substantial amount of dispersed phase (solid) in the continuous (liquid) phase; in such a suspension, the interactions between the solid particles are important.
Finally, a suspoemulsion is a combination of a suspension and an emulsion; a suspoemulsion is thus constituted of a suspension of particles (solid) in the aqueous phase, along with the solid particles there are also oil droplets which are present in the aqueous phase (emulsion).
4a- These active materials are in particular agrochemical active materials such as, for example, fungicides, pesticides, insecticides, germicides, nematocides, molluscicides, rodenticides, attractants, repellents, herbicides or growth activators.
The examples presented below, without implied limitation of the present invention, will make it possible to demonstrate other advantages thereof.
EXAMPLE 1 The various compositions tested below .i4 oo** 6 re 4 9 9 prepared by addition of the required amount of potassium salt of phosphated ethoxylated tristyrylphenol, containing 16 OE units, in glycerol.
By way of comparison, the stability and the viscosity results shown below also give an account of behaviour of two control formulations of potassium salt of phosphated ethoxylated tristyrylphenol, containing 16 OE units, respectively as 40% and 60% by weight solutions in monopropylene glycol. In the case of the 40% by weight control solution, it is more specifically the compound marketed under the name Soprophor FLK 1 by Rh8ne-Poulenc Geronazzo.
The fluidity of each of the formulations was assessed by measuring its viscosity at two different o 15 temperatures; the viscosity measurements were carried out using a Brookfield L.V.T rheometer at revolutions/minute.
As regards the homogeneity of the said solutions, it was assessed visually at two separate' temperatures and at the end of a temperature cycle.
*9 This temperature cycle consists in causing the *9* temperature of the solution under test to swing between -5°C and 45°C with a periodicity of 24 hours and for a time of 1 month. Heating at 45 0 C is carried out using an autoclave.
The table shown below gives an account of the results observed after storing for two months.
