Description

~5~Llo PE:STICTD~ sT~ R~-R~TRNn~

~ he pre6ent invention relates to a pesticide product and more particularly to a sticker-extender for postlcide sprays.

9ticker-extenders for pesticide 6prays have been known for a number oi years and are used to extend the activities oi pesticide sprays 6uch as fungicidos, herbicides and insecticides. A sticker-extender is intended to improve the performance of such pestlcides by assisting to evenly epread the pesticide and form an elastic film to keep it in place. It has been found that existing pesticide spray additives sometimes do not extend the activity of the pesticide sprays for a very long period and sometimes do not help to spread the pesticides evenly over the entire plant or do not form a suit~ble elastlc film to keep the peeticides in place. It also sometimes occurs that losses occur from rain, overhead irrigation and heavy dew and that losses also occur due to sunlight and evaporation.

:

21~60~11 Some existing sticker-extenders have poor canopy penetration and do not deposit the spray solutions deep lnto the crop foliage and others do not easily disperse in water to form emulslons.
It has been found that some sticker-extenders are more prone to flre Qnd explosion and may be dangerous to use and store.

Q~çg~
The present invention is an improvement over exlsting pesticide spray additives and has for one of its ob,~ects the provision of an improved sticker-extender for extending the activity of pesticide sprays, such as insecticides, fungicid~s and herbicides.
Another ob~ect of the present invention is the provision of an improved sticker-extender whlch improves - the performance of pestlcides by helping to spread the pesticides evenly over the entire plant.

Another ob,ject of the present invention in the provision of an improved sticker-extender which aids in preventing losses from rain, overhead irrigation and heavy dew .
Another object of the present invention i9 the provision of an improved stioker-extender which provides extra protectlon from losses due to sunlight and evsporation.
Another object of the present inventlon is the provision of an improved sticker-extender which aids in canopy penetratlon and helps deposit the spray solutions deep into the crop foliage, Another ob,lect of the present invention is the provision of an improved sticker-extender which easily dI_erses In w~er to ~orm ~n emuI~Ion.

21~S~3 Other and further ob ~ects of the lnvention wlll be obvious upon an understanding of the illustratlve embodlment about to be descrlbed, or will be indlcated in the appended claims and vQrious advantages not referred to herein will occur to one skilled in the art upon employment of the invention in practice.
DeG-~rint~nn o~ Iny~nt~
The stlcker-extender of the present lnventlon i8 manufactured in a two stage process. The first stage produces an lntermediate product herelnafter referred to as "lntermedlate`'. The 6econd and flnal stage produces the fLnal product hereinafter referred to as "Flnal Product".
The lntermediate preferably contains an anhydride made from an di~ase acid, such as maleic anhydride, a strong acld such as sulfuric acld and turpentlne preferably acintene P-AC turpentine. Preferably, the turpentlne amounts to almo~t twlce as much as the anhydride with the acld belng in v~ry small amounts.

_q_ :
2ls6olo The Intermedlate i6 preferably formulated as follows:
~,,, _= ,_ ,, ~,~_, , TNTFRURnTATF
MALEIC ANHYDRIDE 34.32%
SULFURIC ACID 0 . 37%
ACINTENE P-AC ~ N1; 64 . 71 TOTAL lO0.00~
In order to make the final product, the Intermedlate is added to a plurality of a number of alcohols 6uch as an isomeric alcohol and a number of amino alcoholæ. Prefer~bly, al~out 60% of the Final Product comprises lntermediate and the remalnder compr~ses the said variety of alcohols.
The preferred formula whlch may be used in the preparation of the Fin~l Product of the improved Sticker-Extender of the present invention i8 as follows:

F~NAI, pRon~ T
INTER,llEDlATE 60.40%

BUTANOL 22 . 40%

MONOETHANOLAMINE 6.80%
(MEA) DlhT~lANOLAMlNE 2.00%
(DEA ) . _5_ ~.~ 21 ~4~
TRIETHANOLAMINE 5.90 ( TEA ) MONO ISOPROPYLAMINE 2.50%
TOTAL 100 . 00%
., ' The Intermediate 18 preferably manuf~ctured by placlng maleic anhydride into a reactor and heating it to about 170C. After the maleic anhydride is melted, it i8 agitated in an,agitator. Sulfuric acid is added to the agitator and cooling water is applied thereto.
The turpentine is then added 610wly over a two hour period.
Temperature in the agitator i8 maintained between 170-185C
and any condensatio~ may be returned by a condenser back to the reactor. PreierabIy, the temperature is. kept above 167 to prevent turpentine buildup which may result in , uncontrolled exothermic reaction. After all the turpentine has been added, the mixture is held at about 180-185C
for about two hours. The mixture is then cooled to about 40C .
Following the above procedure, a batch of Intermediate was prepared. The kettle and all piping a6sociated with the process are thoroughly cleaned. Cleaning was accomplished ....

1~ ~, 21SGo~D
by applying a N2 (Nitro~en) purge but any other well known cleaning step may be used. The kettle i9 then charged with about 4,900 lbs. of malelc anhydride. About 52 lbs.
oi E12S04 (Suifuric Acld) is then added. Coollng water i8 applied to the condenser and the kettle is set for total rei'lux. A water line is connected to the acid sorubber and a 2" vent line on the kettle to vent the kettle to the acid scrubber.
About 9080 lb6. (1268 gallons) of the turpentine i8 applied to the kettle at about 6 gpm ~gallons per minute).
Cold water is used to maintain the temperature at about 1705 to 180C. Preferably, the temperature should not go below 165C because the reaction may stop and unreacted raw materials may build up in the system causing runaway reaction when the kettle ls heateù bac~ up to the reaction temperature. Ii the temperature falls below. 11;5C, the addition ci Turpentine should be stopped and heat should be applied to the kettle to raise the temperature up to 170 and 180 before the Turpentine addi~ion is resumed.

; ~
'` ' 21~G~
Once all the Turpentine is added, the reaction 8hould be held at about 170 to 180 for about 2 hour8.
Thereafter, the batch i8 cooled to about 40C. If lt i8 determined that addltlonal cook tlme is needed, the batch may be reheated to about 170 to 180C and held at tbat temperature for an additlonal 2 hour8 and thereafter allowed to cool to about 40C~
The resulting Intermedlate should have an amber color and the appearance Of a homOgeneOU8 flUid.
In general, the Final Product i8 manufactured by placing the Intermediate into an agitator and 8tarting the agitation. The Butanol, MEA, DEA and TEA are added preferably in that 8equence while maintainlng the temperature between 45C and 60C. The ~Lono-Isopropyl Amine 18 then added preferably below the 8urface of the batch while the temperatUre i8 still below 60C. The batch i8 mixed for about one hour and the Final Product should have the appearanCe Of amb~r liquld wlth a p~l Of 7.0 :~ 0.5.
The Intermediate was added to the agitator and agitation of the batch i8 8tarte About 51~2 Ib8.

- 21~o4o (769 gallons) of Butanol i5 added to the batch. The agltator i8 heated to about ~0C. About 1576 lbs. of UEA 18 added to the batch. When the temperature reaches 50C, the mixture may be cooled in any well known manner (such as through an oll recycle cooling system) and the MEA 18 contlnued to be added at a rate to hold the temperature below 60C.
Thereafter, about 464 lbs.of DEA is added and the temperature ls kept below 60C by adjusting the rate at whlch the DEA
is added. About 1367 lbs. of t~le TEA is then added and the temperature ls kept below 60'C by agaln adjusting the rate at whlch the TEA is added. About 570 lbs. of ~lono lsopropylamine is added to the batch and agaln the temperature is kept below 60 C. by ad,~ustlng the rate at which it 18 added. Mlx for about one hour to produce the ~lnished Product .
IL will be seen that the present invention provldes an improved sticker-extender which extends the activitY of ln8ectlcide8, iungicides and herbicide sprays whicn improveS the periormance of pesticides by helping to ~pread tbe pes'Cicldes evenly over the entlre plant _g_ ~ 21 ~60~ l) The lmproved stlcker-extender also improves the performance of pesticides bg forming an elastic film to keep the pe~ticide ln place and alds ln preventlng losses from raln, overhead lrrigation, heavy dew, sunllght and evaporatlon. 'rhe lmproved ~ticker-extender aids ln canopy penetration, helps deposlt spray solutlon3 deep lnto the crop follage and dlsperses easlly ln water to form an emulelon.
As many and varled modiflcations of the subject --matter of thls lnventlon wlll become apparent to those skilled ln the art from the detalled descrlption glven hereinabove, lt wlll be understood that the present lnventlon ls llmlted only as provlded ln the clalms appended hereto.
