Description

The field of technology to which the invention belongs

This invention relates to the use of dibenzylidene sorbitol (085) or chemical derivatives of pBvo5 as modifiers of rheological properties, useful in obtaining stable compositions of agrochemical products in the form of oil dispersions (00).

Prior art and the essence of this invention

An agrochemical active ingredient, such as a herbicide, insecticide or fungicide, or herbicide antidote, can rarely be applied in its original release form. Agrochemical products, in general, consist of two parts, an active ingredient and additional formulation components or inert ingredients combined together in a composition. Combining these two parts into the final product is done for two main purposes: (1) to maintain the stability of the products during storage and (2) to provide an easy and efficient way to apply the product after dilution in a carrier such as water or oil and spraying onto cultivated area.

Agrochemical compositions, as a rule, are developed based on the needs of the customer and the physical and chemical properties of the active ingredient(s), for example, the solubility of the active ingredient in water and other non-aqueous solvents. There are two main categories of compositions, solid compositions and liquid compositions. Liquid compositions include emulsified concentrates (EC), suspension concentrates (5C), soluble liquids (5), flowing liquids (PE) and oil dispersions (00). Compositions in the form of ES consist of an oil-soluble active ingredient(s) dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent(s) to which emulsifying agents are added.

The main components of the agricultural composition in the form of OJ are the solvent or oil phase and the dispersed solid phase. These main components can include active ingredients, petroleum oil or natural solvents, antidotes, rheological additives, emulsifiers, dispersing agents and other common components of the composition that contribute to giving the products the desired characteristics. Rheological additives ensure the physical stability of the composition by increasing the viscosity of the liquid phase, preventing insoluble particles of the active ingredient from falling into the sediment from the suspension and forming a layer at the bottom of the storage container. This phenomenon, known as sedimentation, can lead to difficulties in the delivery and application of products if the deposited layer of particles forms a dense layer that is difficult to disperse and

To suspend again. The related physical instability of liquid compositions is called syneresis. Syneresis in compositions in the form of OO is usually measured as the degree of clarification of the supernatant liquid as a result of phase separation.

The amount and degree of sedimentation that occurs in compositions in the form of OJ over a long time can be measured by the flow test. This test is carried out by pouring out the composition in the form of OJ in a controlled manner from the container and measuring the amount of the composition that remains in the container. The amount of fluidity is a percentage by mass of the material that remains in the container.

Rheological additives used to control sedimentation, also known as thickening agents, anti-caking agents, viscosity modifiers, or structuring agents, in general, provide increased viscosity of the composition in the form of OJ. In addition to increasing the viscosity of the composition in the form of EO, rheological additives have the ability to reduce shear viscosity, as a result of which the gel network they form is easily destroyed when a small external force is applied. This reduction in shear viscosity allows the OU composition to maintain its viscosity and physical stability when at rest, but allows this viscosity to dissipate rapidly when an external force is applied so that the product can be easily poured or pumped out of its container , mixed with a carrier such as water and applied to the area where it is needed.

Rheological additives used today in viscosity-enhancing products come in a variety of forms and chemical compositions. They can be mineral or derived from minerals (eg, organoclays, fumed silica), swellable polymers (eg, polyamides or hydrogenated castor oils), associative thickeners, self-forming structures (eg, EO/RO block copolymers), or they can be steric dispersing agents (for example, combined polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidinones or polyacrylates). These rheological or structuring agents ensure long-term stability of the product at rest or during storage.

Agrochemicals, as a rule, must be diluted and properly dispersed in water before use. The emulsifying system can be included in the composition in the form of

OO for improving the dispersion of an oil-based, water-immiscible composition in water. The emulsifying system usually includes a mixture of nonionic and anionic surface

active substances to equalize differences in water hardness and temperature found in different places.

For polar interactions, clays, organoclays such as bentonite, hectorite or gibbsite clays, which are also known as hydrophobically modified clays, hydrogenated castor oils, castor oil derivatives, polyamides, polar, oxidized waxes and hydrophobized fumed silica can be used as rheological additives in non-aqueous solvents. Organic sulfates are traditionally used for controlled flocculation of pigments in paints. High molecular weight polymers such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetobutyrate and artificial polymers such as polyacrylates, polystyrenes and polyisobutylenes 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.

Natural clay products are typically layered silicates, which can be effective thickeners for a wide range of applications. However, to make them dispersible in non-aqueous solvents, the clay surface is usually treated with quaternary ammonium. These modified clays are known as organoclay thickeners. These strongly agglomerated particles must first be wetted and then separated by applying a shear force. High shear mixing is preferred for this method.

Activators, such as alcohols, can penetrate between the layers of clay and contribute to the formation of loosely bound stacks from them for ease of application. A typical rheological curve for a composition in the form of OO modified with clay particles shows strong shear thinning and thixotropic behavior. At low shear stress, the clay structure may show some reduction in fluidity. As the shear rate increases, the applied shear force increasingly disrupts the clay network, and the layered clay particles begin to move with the flow. When the shear force disappears, the clay network is restored and the viscosity increases again. Depending on the type and origin of clay products, it is important to know that the effectiveness of the formation of rheological properties depends on the difference in the size and shape of clay particles. Boehmite clay appears to be more effective at enhancing fluid rheological properties than other types of clay due to its higher aspect ratio and therefore greater surface area.

The mechanism of thickening with hydrogenated castor oils and their derivatives, polyamides and polar,

With oxidized waxes, it is based on the formation of hydrogen bonds, but these additives can be somewhat sensitive to the effect of temperature. The activation process of hydrogenated castor oil products requires shear mixing and high temperature because these products are supplied as finely divided powders. Similar to organoclays, these finely divided powders must be dispersed into a gel form without complete dissolution in a solvent. The last stage is the swelling of the crystalline particles with the help of a solvent with the application of shear force and heating to obtain the swollen particles, which become completely separate and dispersed. The activation temperature depends on the type of solvent. Care must be taken not to exceed the activation temperature, otherwise castor oil derivatives will completely dissolve, lose their thickening properties and recrystallize upon cooling.

A preliminary gel is usually made for easier application of these materials.

The third type of modifiers of rheological properties, which require the presence of polar interactions to create a three-dimensional network, are those based on fumed silica. Fumed silica, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic, consists of nano-sized particles of primary silicates bound together to form segregates in the form of chains. Due to their extremely high surface area and compatibility with a wide range of solvents, fumed silica products are widely used in the formulation of industrial and consumer products. Despite the fact that both hydrophilic and hydrophobic fumed silica can be used in compositions in the form of OO as thickeners, hydrophobic silica usually provides such rheological properties that are easier to control in non-aqueous compositions, compared to hydrophilic silica.

Rheological additives used in compositions in the form of OJ to ensure that suspended particles of active ingredients are not prone to irreversible sedimentation, can be used alone or in combination with other rheological additives. It is very common to combine one or more rheological additives in a single composition in the form of OO to obtain the desired rheological properties and, at the same time, to minimize any adverse interactions that may occur between the ingredients. Proper selection and quantity of thickening agents for OO can enhance the thickening effect and range of application of a particular composition. Factors that must be considered when choosing rheological additives for the development of a stable OO system are the type of solvent, interaction with emulsifiers, reliability during activation of thickening agents and sensitivity to the temperature of the final system.

While there are a number of rheological modifiers available for use in stabilizing agrochemical compositions in the form of OO with respect to particle sedimentation, there is a constant need for new modifiers due to the limitations of existing options, incompatibilities with surfactants, and diversity in the chemistry of new active ingredients. and solvents that are available and are being developed today. In addition, the increased number of active ingredients included in a single composition can also present problems for compounding. These limitations can be overcome by identifying new modifiers of rheological properties that have a new principle of action or act at lower concentrations.

The effective amount of the composition in the form of OJ of the present invention used in typical agricultural practice depends, for example, on the type of plant, the stage of growth of the plant, the severity of the environmental conditions, the weeds, insects or fungal pathogens to be controlled, and the conditions introduction Typically, a plant in need of protection against weeds or insects, or to control or eradicate pathogenic diseases, is contacted with an amount of the composition in the form of an OO diluted in a carrier such as water to provide a concentration of from about 1 to 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, such as leaves or stems, can be sprayed with the active ingredient mixed with an appropriate amount of a solvent or carrier such as water.

The above-mentioned compositions according to the present invention can be applied to the leaves of the plant or to the soil or the area close to the plant. Additionally, the compositions of the present invention may be mixed with or applied together with any combination of agricultural active ingredients such as herbicides, insecticides, bactericides, nematicides, miticides, pesticides, termiticides, rodenticides, molluscicides, arthropodicides, fertilizers, growth regulators and pheromones. .

In a typical method of obtaining a composition in the form of OO according to this invention, the previous one

The OB5 gel is first obtained by dispersing and activating OB5 in a solvent during mixing with shear force and heating. After cooling to room temperature, the previous ЮОВ5 gel is added with stirring to the mixture formed earlier with shearing of the active ingredient and any other ingredients with the solvent.

An example of a stable composition in the form of OJ according to the present invention, in which the sedimentation of the dispersed active ingredient is slowed down with the help of ОВ5, includes: a) a solvent that is in relation to the total composition from about 200 g/l to about 999 g/l Agotaiyys 2000; p) rheological additive, which is in relation to the total composition from approximately 0.1 g/l to approximately 100 g/l of dibenzylidene sorbitol; c) the active ingredient, which is in relation to the total composition, from about 1 g/l to about 200 g/l of piroxulam; a) optional, other inert ingredients of the composition.

Examples

In order to properly activate UB5, a 1.5 95 solution of UB5 pre-gel in an aromatic solvent (e.g. Agotaiys 200 with reduced naphthalene content from EchopMorbia) was prepared by dispersing 1.5 g of OB5 in 98.5 g Agotaiys 200 at high shear force, heating the mixture to 50-55 "C for 15 minutes and cooling the mixture to room temperature with stirring at low shear. The resulting mixture should be translucent to transparent in appearance and exhibit strongly thixotropic gel properties.

The compositions of the present invention, shown in Table 1, were obtained using the following procedure: 1) the amount of solvent shown in Table 1 was placed in a glass flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer; 2) 1.595 of the previous gel of ЮОВ5 was added to the flask with constant stirring; C) then the active ingredient was added to the mixture; 4) the mixture was mixed to a homogeneous state and then treated with ultrasound for 10 minutes to obtain a test sample. All samples were stable to sedimentation after 24 hours at room temperature by visual inspection.

Samples 9 and 10 were subjected to various temperature conditions, including constant temperatures of 54 °C and 40 °C and one-day cycles of -107 °C/40 °C, to evaluate their storage stability.

Conducted chemical analyzes after storage for 2 weeks and found that compositions 9 and 10 were chemically stable with no loss of active ingredient detected under all storage conditions. The samples were also compared based on their plastic flow stress, which is known to be an indicator of the strength of the rheological structure, and therefore the stability of the compositions. The higher the plastic flow stress value, the stronger the gel structure and, therefore, the better the stability of the composition. The plastic flow stress was measured using a rheometer AK1000 from TA

Ipbigitepi5, equipped with a 4 mm shaded plate. The stress-viscosity curve was obtained by applying a stationary shear force using a rheometer from the smallest possible torque on this device to 10,000 micro Newton meters (μNm). The plastic flow stress was then calculated using the software on the rheometer as the initial stress value, measured in pascals (Pa), at which the sample began to flow. The results of the yield stress measurements for samples 9 and 10 are shown in Table 5. The results show that compositions 9 and 10 had very stable high yield stress values under a variety of storage conditions, indicating that each formulation had a stable rheological structure.
