Name of Applicant: Actual Inventors: Address for Service: Invention Title: RHONE-POULENC CHIMIE Valerio BRAMATI, Isabelle GUBELMAN and Antonio MARCHETTO SHELSTON WATERS 60 Margaret Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 "DISPERSING AGENT FOR SOLID PLANT-PROTECTION
FORMULATIONS"
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us:- I I la The present invention relates to a new dispersing agent for solid plant-protection formulations, to the use of the said agent for the preparation of dispersible plant-protection granulates and to the said granulates themselves.
Solid plant-protection formulations, namely "wettable powders" and "dispersible granulates" are currently undergoing wide development because they make it possible to avoid the use of potentially toxic solvents and may be packaged in packages which are easily recyclable or in water-soluble sachets. The applicator or the user forming part of the general public is thus better protected.
Besides the plant-protection active substance, these solid formulations are made of dispersing agents, binders and wetting and disintegrating agents. They are generally obtained by pregrinding the solid active matter with the various solid additives, before preparing, by adding water, a 20 concentrated dispersion which will be subsequently C C agglomerated in a coater or in a turbosphere, or which will be extruded before being dried with the aid of a fluid bed.
At present, the dispersing agents used must *S 25 be solid; they are polymers such as lignosulphonates (sodium, calcium or ammonium salts), maleic anhydride/ isobutylene copolymers (sodium or ammonium salts), condensed phenylsulphonic acids (sodium salts) or 2 condensed naphthalenesulphonate/formaldehyde polymers (sodium or ammonium salts).
This restriction is due to the requirements of the process, which does not permit the addition of a liquid additive unless a premix in water is produced, which will be subsequently employed for the granulation.
Consequently, surface-active agents which are liquid or viscous at ambient temperature, such as ethoxylated alkylphenols or ethoxylated di- or tristyrylphenols, commonly employed as dispersing agents in liquid formulation (in particular in microemulsions, concentrated emulsions, emulsifiable concentrates or concentrated suspensions) cannot be employed. Furthermore, when these products are evaluated in solid formulations, in particular in "dispersible granulates", it is found that, besides the fact that they are difficult to process, they are not good dispersants, that is to say that they produce 20 granulates which have a mediocre dispersibility and suspensivity.
The Applicant Company has found that the association of a lignosulphonate and of some optionally sulphated, ethoxylated di- or tristyrylphenols results 25 in a dispersing agent for solid plant-protection formulations and does so with a "performance/price ratio" which is particularly advantageous.
In fact, a synergism has been found between these two types of dispersants, and this provides their mixture with dispersing properties, in the case of a good number of active substances, which are much superior to those of an (inexpensive) lignosulphonate taken in isolation, and at least close to those of the most ef 'ctive (but costly) dispersing polymers in this type of application.
The subject of the present invention is a dispersing agent for solid plant-protection formulations, characterized in that it consists: of at least one alkali or alkalineearth metal or ammonium lignosulphonate [constituent used in combination with at least one optionally sulphated, ethoxylated di- or tri(l-phenylethyl)phenol containing from 7 to fewer than 20 oxyethylene units [constituent the weight ratio constituent (a)/constituent being of the order of 95/5 to 70/30, preferably of the order 20 of 90/10 to 75/25.
The dispersing agent forming the subject of the invention may be prepared by mixing its constituents.
It is very particularly advantageous to 25 obtain this mixture in a handlable solid form, especially of a pourable powder. One means for obtaining such a powder is to spray an aqueous solution containing the two constituents and The subject of the present invention is therefore more particularly a dispersing agent in powder form, capable of being obtained by spraying an aqueous solution containing at least one alkali or alkaline-earth metal or ammonium lignosulphonate [constituent and at least one optionally sulphated, ethoxylated di- or tri(1-phenylethyl)phenol containing from 8 to fewer than 20 oxyethylene units [constituent the weight ratio constituent (a)/constituent being of the order of 95/5 to 70/30, preferably of the order of 90/10 to 75/25, in a quantity corresponding to approximately 40 to parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of the mixture of the two constituents. Constituents in a totally sulfated form are also particularly interesting constituents of the composition according to the invention.
Among the constituents there may be 20 mentioned Na, K, Ca, Mg and NH 4 lignosulphonates and very particularly that of Na and, for economic reasons, that of Ca.
Among the constituents there may be mentioned ethoxylated di(1-phenylethyl)phenol containing oxyethylene units ethoxylated di(1-phenylethyl)phenol containing 7 oxyethylene units sulphated ethoxylated di(1-phenylethyl)phenol containing 7 oxyethylene units ethoxylated tri(1-phenylethyl)phenol containing 8 oxyethylene units ethoxylated tri(1-phenylethyl)phenol containing 16 oxyethylene units sulphated ethoxylated tri(l-phenylethyl)phenol containing 16 oxyethylene units.
The spraying operation may be carried out in a sprayer according to techniques which are well known to a person skilled in the art; the air temperature at the entry is generally near 150-300 0 C, and that at the exit near 80-100 0
C.
The dispersing agent forming the subject of the invention is very particularly suited for the preparation of pesticide (herbicide, insecticide, fungicide) granulates, since it is preferably in the form of a flowable powder.
Another subject of the invention consists of solid plant-protection formulations, especially in granulate form, based on a solid plant-protection 20 active substance and the dispersing agent described above.
The said solid plant-protection formulations are favourably made up: of 0.01 to 90 by weight of plant-protection active S25 substance of 0.1 to 20 by weight of the dispersing agent forming the subject of the invention of 0 to 10 by weight of a disintegrating binding and/or binding agent of 0 to 10 by weight of an anticlotting agent of 0 to 10 by weight of a chemical stabilizing agent and of 0 to 50 by weight of inert fillers relative to the weight of solid formulation.
The following may be mentioned among the active substances which may be present in the said formulations: diuron linuron neburon carbaryl atrazine ametryn carboxim fentin acetate ziram manab zineb carbondazim chlorothalonil copper oxychloride By way of example there may be mentioned as: wetting agent: anionic agents such as alkylnaphthalene sulphonates, alkylbenzenesulphonates, alkylsulphosuccinates, taurates, alkyl sulphates, etc or nonionic ones such as acetylenic diols, ethoxylated alkylphenols, etc disintegrating and/or binding agent: starch, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidones, microcrystalline cellulose, crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, soya polysaccharides, ion exchange resins, ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers, polyethoxylated alkylphenols, etc anticlotting agent: ammonium or sodium phosphates, sodium carbonate or bicarbonate, sodium acetate, sodium metasilicate, magnesium, zinc or calcium sulphates, magnesium hydroxide, calcium chloride, molecular r r 7 sieves, sodium alkylsulphosuccinates, barium or calcium oxides, etc chemical stabilizing agent: alkaline-earth or transition metal sulphates, sodium hexametaphosphate, calcium chloride, boric anhydride, etc, inert fillers: cays, synthetic and diatomaceous silicas, calcium or magnesium silicates, titanium dioxide, aluminium, zinc or calcium oxides, calcium or magnesium carbonates, sodium, ammonium, calcium sulphates, carbon black, etc.
The said formulations may be obtained by mixing these constituents, grinding the said mixture dry, agglomeration by addition of water to the ground particles, extrusion or granulation and then drying with the aid of a fluid bed until granulates are Sobtained which have a residual moisture of the order of 0.1 to 2 by weight.
SFor a good implementation of the invention .9 the agglomeration of the ground particles is carried 20 out by adding from approximately 10 to 20 by weight o* of water relative to the weight of particles; the extrusion or granulation operation is carried out using techniques which are well known to a person skilled in the art, for example extrusion through a die, a grid, 25 etc, granulation with the aid of a coater, a turbosphere, etc.
The following examples are given by way of illustration.
