Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to polyelectrolyte-layer forming block copolymers adsorbed at colloid interfaces in aqua solution and compositions and uses thereof.
- the present invention relates to agricultural material compositions comprising particles of at least one agricultural material compound and a polyelectrolyte-layer forming block copolymer.
- the present invention also relates to non-agricultural material compositions comprising particles of at least one non-agricultural material compound and a polyelectrolyte-layer forming block co-polymer.
- water based formulations are composed of the hydrophobic solid particles of the AI suspended in the aqua phase or hydrophobic drops and capsules, which contain the active ingredient, dispersed in the water.
- the concentration of a pesticide active material and other materials for agricultural application in a formulation can influence the application rate and packaging of the product.
- High-load formulations require less packaging and thus are easier to handle and transport.
- the ultimate goal for designing a pesticidal formulation is to prepare the formulation with the highest possible amount of the active material, with the resultant formulation maintaining stability and a long shelf life, and also providing an environmentally friendly and cheaper product.
- dispersing agents and surfactants are known in the art to achieve these purposes.
- the dispersing agents in this regard can be ionic or non-ionic compounds, polymeric or non-polymeric surfactants. Some of these co-formulants impart rheology properties for the concentrated pesticidal formulations.
- the dispersant surrounds the particles and disperses the particles in the liquid phase and therefore prevents and/or breaks aggregates.
- Previously exemplified and known dispersants useful in this regard include comb co-polymers such as AtloxTM 4913, block co-polymers of alkylene oxide, ethoxylate alcohol and anionic type polymers such as fatty acid sulfonate.
- dispersants In order to achieve and stabilize a high load formulation there is a need for the dispersants to stabilize extremely well against flocculation and coagulation, to perform well at low concentration of dispersant and to reduce the friction between the particles. In granulation processes, good lubricating properties of the dispersant are also desired. Another important property for a dispersant is good performance in both high and low concentrations of the electrolyte.
- WO 2015116716 is directed to compositions for plant growth regulation comprising at least one polyanionic polymer in combination with one or more plant growth regulators, in preferred forms, the polyanionic polymer comprises a copolymer polymers having repeat units randomly located along the polymer chain without any ordered sequence of repeat units.
- WO 2013004704 discloses, in part, an apolar liquid comprising micelles comprising a copolymer AB, in which the micellar cores are more hydrophilic than the micelle coronas.
- the copolymer is formed as micelles in a water-free organic solvent liquid medium to provide a surface coating.
- WO 2013189776 discloses a solid dispersion consisting of hydrophobic active ingredients and cationic copolymers of N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate, the monomers being provided at a weight ratio of 35:65 to 55:45.

- WO 2013093578 discloses a polymer selected from the group consisting of poly(methacrylic acid-co-ethyl acrylate); poly(methacrylic acid-co-styrene); poly(methacrylic acid-co-butylmethacrylate); poly[acrylic acid-co-poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]; and poly(n-butylmethacrylcate-co-methacrylic acid).
- any known dispersants as described by the prior art are limited in some of the characteristics needed for a dispersant to achieve a high load formulation: stabilization against agglomeration, reduction in the friction between particles, perform well at low concentration and efficient in different electrolyte solutions.
- the prior art typically provides products with the amount of particles present being limited. Accordingly, there remains a need in the art for pesticidal compositions containing improved dispersants which permit a higher concentration of the active ingredient in the composition, and which enable improved milling and granulation of the composition.
- the present subject matter relates to the use of a polyelectrolyte-layer forming block copolymer as a dispersant or emulsifier wherein the block copolymers adsorb on the surfaces of the active ingredient particles in a dispersion to result in a stable brushed “particle-polymer” complex.
- the present compositions have a reduced friction between particles and stabilize dispersions in a very efficient way. Also, by combining steric and ionic stabilization they perform well at both high and low concentrations of electrolytes.

- the final droplet size is D 90 ⁇ 2 ⁇ m
- the final Fluensulfone is 630 gr/l
- the organic phase content is 69%, which is more than twice than the aqua phase.
- the final viscosity, after high shear is 370 cP (measured at 12 RPM, spindle 62 , Brookfield viscometer.).
- Example 5 Evaluation of the efficacy and optimum use level of the polymer prepared in Example 5 for the preparation of a pigment color pastes was determined by dispersant demand curve studies. Starting point formulations were chosen for 3 pigments Blue PB 15:2 (40% solids), Black Raven® 5000 (20% solids) and Yellow PY42 (50% solids). For each specific pigment a demand curve was acquired by obtaining 6 viscosity data points corresponding to the dispersion of 6 samples with varying active dispersant to pigment ratios. Each sample contains 1.5 g in total.
- the amount of dispersant added to each vial was varied such that the active dispersant to pigment ratio was between 6-21% for PB 15:2, 20-70% for Raven® 5000 and 0.3-4% for PY42.
- the Di water water amount was added such that the final pigment concentrations were 40% for PB 15:2, 20% for Raven® 5000 and 50% for PY42.
- the mixture was wetted by gentle vortex mixing and then dispersed using vigorous vortex agitation for 90 min using a Scientific industries Vortex-Genie® 2 speed 6-8.
- the viscosity of the dispersions in the different vials was measured using a Gilson Viscoman portable viscometer.
