Description

STABLE FORMULATIONS CONTAINING FUMED ALUMINUM OXIDE FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agrochemical formulations. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] To enable the efficient elimination or controlling of unwanted plants, it is desirable to use effective chemical formulations of herbicides. Compositions containing two or more herbicides are desirable in agricultural, specialty applications and related endeavors due to broadening the spectrum or range of unwanted plant species killed or controlled.
[0003] Due to the desirability of having a composition with the above-mentioned properties, it is useful to use combinations of herbicides to obtain enhanced control of numerous weeds with a single herbicidal application. Combinations of pesticides are known and available as mixed solutions of the active ingredients in their commercially available formulations. One method of preparing such a composition is referred to as "tank mixing" in which the ingredients in their commercially available form are mixed together by the user in a quantity of water. Tank mixes require the end user to purchase two or more commercial formulations, store them, calculate the correct amount of each active ingredient, measure those amounts into the mix and when empty, properly dispose of a number of containers. Tank mixing two or three different commercial formulations often results in physical instabilities causing precipitation of active ingredients, flocculation, phase separation and the like, providing uneven distribution of the active ingredients. Combining active ingredients into one formulation is beneficial but frequently more complex due to widely different physical properties of the active ingredients in which chemical and physical stability are problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The present invention provides novel herbicidal aqueous suspoemulsion or aqueous suspension concentrate compositions containing an herbicidal active agent and fumed alumina as a stabilization agent that have superior chemical and physical stability as well as superior re-dispersion properties.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present invention provides novel herbicidal aqueous suspoemulsion or aqueous suspension concentrate compositions containing an herbicidal active agent and fumed alumina as a stabilization agent that have superior chemical and physical stability as well as superior re-dispersion properties.
[0006] In one aspect the present invention relates to a novel aqueous suspoemulsion composition containing an herbicidal agent comprised of atrazine, pyroxasulfone and fluthiacet-methyl that has superior chemical and physical stability as well as superior re-dispersion.
[0007] In particular the aqueous suspoemulsion composition of the present invention comprises:
i) an aqueous suspension concentrate composition containing pyroxasulfone and atrazine;
ii) an emulsion in water composition containing fluthiacet-methyl; and iii) fumed alumina.
[0008] Another embodiment of the present invention is a process for the preparation of an aqueous suspoemulsion composition comprising:
i) forming an aqueous suspension concentrate composition containing pyroxasulfone and atrazine;
ii) forming an emulsion in water composition containing fluthiacet-methyl;
iii) blending the suspension concentrate and emulsion in water compositions together and
iv) adding fumed alumina and blending the mixture to form a homogenous mixture.
[0009] Still another embodiment of the present invention is a process for the preparation of an aqueous suspoemulsion composition comprising:
i) forming an aqueous suspension concentrate composition containing pyroxasulfone and atrazine and fumed alumina;
ii) forming an emulsion in water composition containing fluthiacet- methyl;
iii) blending the suspension concentrate and emulsion in water compositions together to form a homogenous mixture.
[0010] Another embodiment of the present invention is an aqueous suspension concentrate composition comprising:
i) an agriculturally active component comprising fluthiacet-methyl, atrazine and pyroxasulfone;
ii) a surfactant component comprising an acrylic graft copolymer and a
polyalkylene oxide block copolymer;
iii) an antifoam agent;
iv) a biocide;
v) a pH adjusting agent;
vi) an antifreeze agent; and
vii) fumed alumina.
[0011] It has been surprisingly discovered that the addition of fumed alumina to a suspoemulsion or suspension concentrate compositions provides exceptional physical and chemical stability to the compositions. Other stabilizing agents, for example, fumed silica, when used in the present suspoemulsion or suspension concentrate compositions, provide good chemical stability but lack physical stability (e.g. precipitates form after 24 hours at room temperature, re-dispersion difficulties). Adding fumed alumina to the present suspoemulsion or suspension concentrate compositions provides chemically and physically stable compositions. In preparing a suspoemulsion composition, fumed alumina can be added to the suspension concentrate composition portion, or may be added to the final formulation composition; preferably it is added to the suspension concentrate portion of the composition.
[0012] In one aspect of the present invention a suspoemulsion composition is formed by combining a suspension concentrate composition with an emulsion in water composition. A suspension concentrate (SC) is a formulation in which a solid active ingredient(s) is suspended in a liquid carrier. The aqueous suspension concentrate composition portion of the suspoemulsion further comprises a surfactant component, a pH adjuster (optional), an anti-freeze agent, an antifoam agent and an anti-microbial (biocide) agent.

The stabilization component is fumed alumina, preferably as an aqueous dispersion that is acidic, for example, AERODISP® W 630, available from Evonik Industries, and is present on an amount of from 0.5% to 2% by weight of all the components in the SC composition. The SC composition can further comprise a thickening agent, for example, magnesium aluminum silicate (Veegum®

Fluthiacet- methyl is present in an amount of 1% to 2% by weight of all the components in the EW composition. The solvent is preferably an aromatic solvent, for example, Aromatic 200 or Aromatic 200 ND, available from ExxonMobil™ Chemicals, and is present in an amount of from 45% to 50% by weight of all the components in the EW composition. The surfactant component is comprised of at least two surfactants; a non-ionic polymeric surfactant and a polyalkylene oxide block copolymer. The non-ionic polymeric surfactant is preferably, for example, Atlox™ 4914, available from Crodia Crop Care and is present in an amount of from 4% to 5% by weight of all the components in the EW composition.

[0015] The weight ratio of fluthiacet-methyl to pyraxosulfone to atrazine can vary over a wide range but is usually in the range of 1:33:284 to 1:40:325.
[0016] A particular embodiment of the present invention is a method for the control of unwanted plants comprising applying a pesticidally effective amount of the composition of the present invention to an area where such control is desired.

The mixture was transferred to an Eiger mill and milled for 15 minutes at 3000 rpm, achieving a particle size of D90 < 3μιη.
Step B: Fluthiacet-methyl Emulsion in Water (EW)
[0022] Fluthiacet-methyl, 12.36 grams (99.1% purity) and 47.50 grams of a nonionic polymeric surfactant (Atlox™ 4914 from Crodia Crop Care) was added to 475.00 grams of an aromatic naphthalene depleted solvent (Aromatic 200 ND from ExxonMobile Chemicals). The mixture was stirred and heated to about 65 °C, forming a solution. This solution was added to a warm (about 65 °C) solution of 0.50 gram of glacial acetic acid, 60.00 grams of propylene glycol, 50.00 grams of a polyalkylene oxide block copolymer (Atlas™ G5000 from Crodia Crop Care), 0.50 gram of anti foam agent (Dow® Antifoam AF from The Dow Chemical Company) and 1.00 gram of a preservative (Kathon™ CG/ICP from The Dow Chemical Company) in 353.00 grams of deionized water. This mixture homogenized using a Silverson homogenizer until a uniform mixture was formed. Step C: Suspoemulsion Concentrate (SE) Formation
[0023] A suspoemulsion concentrate was formed by combining 367.82 grams of atrazine/pyroxasulfone SC from Step A with 51.84 grams of the fluthiacet-methyl EW from Step B and 4.67 grams of deionized water. The resultant composition was stirred until a uniform mixture was obtained. The resultant suspoemulsion concentrate composition was evenly distributed into eight ounce glass jars, sealed and stored for stability testing either at an elevated temperature of 54° C for two weeks. Analysis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) indicated the following after two weeks at elevated temperature: initial analysis - atrazine 42.33%; pyroxasulfone 5.40%; fluthiacet-methyl 0.16%; elevated temperature atrazine 42.48%; pyroxasulfone 5.42%; fluthiacet-methyl 0.16%; indicating that the composition was chemically stable.
[0024] Visual inspection of the suspoemulsion concentrate composition at two weeks indicated no phase separation or sedimentation indicating the composition was physically stable.
