Description

1 / 91 Modified hydrophobic and hydrophilic malated natural oils and agricultural compositions thereof. Field of the invention.

[0001] This application provides an agricultural composition comprising modified natural maleate oils. The modified natural maleate oils do not exhibit many of the limited properties of natural maleate oils. The modified natural maleate oils are useful in a wide variety of agricultural compositions and applications. FUNDAMENTALS OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Modified natural oils may be non-dispersible in water or alcohols. As a result, these oils can be incorporated into a wide variety of compositions. Such compositions include, but are not limited to, personal care products (e.g., hair care, sun protection, skin care, oral hygiene), adhesives, coatings, paints, electronics, household, industrial and institutional (HI&I) compositions, inks, membranes, metalworking fluids, oilfield chemicals, plastics and plasticizers, textiles, industrial products, biocides, pharmaceutical / nutritional products and agrochemical compositions.

[0003] Natural oils, such as soybean and linseed oils, are among the most promising raw materials for the synthesis of renewable compounds, including polymers, plastics, and plasticizers. These natural materials are inexpensive, highly abundant, sourced from reliable and sustainable sources, and exhibit high potential for modification. Natural oils are generally mixtures of different triglycerides, the product of the esterification of fatty acids and glycerol, and contain varying degrees of unsaturation (i.e., double bonds). Oils can be characterized by a hydroxyl value and fatty acid compositions. Both natural fatty acids and oils Petition 870250107893, dated 11 / 25 / 2025, page 9 / 99 2 / 91 natural compounds must be chemically modified to make them sufficiently reactive to allow structural changes and polymerizations to occur, since olefinic functional groups are relatively unreactive. Unsaturated double bonds in these compounds have been converted into epoxide functional groups and succinic anhydride functional groups, allowing the addition of many hydroxyl-containing species to natural oils.

[0004] Maleated natural oils are natural oils that have been chemically functionalized by the chemical addition of epoxide (oxirane) and succinic anhydride functional groups. Examples include epoxidized and maleated soybean oil and linseed oil; unsaturated natural oils lend themselves to these chemical functionalizations.

[0005] US Patent 9809538B2 describes a modified natural compound synthesized from epoxidized natural fatty acid, maleated natural fatty acid, epoxidized natural oil or maleated natural oil; and lactam compound with hydroxyl(s) to form, for example, an adhesive or beverage composition.

[0018] US Patent 9809538 B2 describes a modified natural compound synthesized from epoxidized natural fatty acid, natural maleated fatty acid oil, epoxidized natural oil or natural maleated oil; and lactam compound with hydroxyl(s) used in agricultural applications.

[0019] US Publication 20130210630 A1 discloses a self-emulsifying oil containing modified vegetable oil (maleated soybean oil) obtained by reaction with a fraction more polar than vegetable oil; and an active ingredient, for example, a herbicide.

[0020] Despite the renewability, biodegradability, sustainability, and beneficial functions provided by natural fatty acids, natural oils, and their maleated equivalents, they exhibit properties that may limit their application. For example, maleated soybean oil is insoluble and non-dispersible in water or alcohols. As a result, these oils may tend to exude or separate from formulated compositions. This characteristic makes their formulation more difficult, often requiring additional ingredients to facilitate solutions, emulsions, or dispersions. Natural and maleated oils may not confer the desired properties needed in end uses, such as Petition 870250107893, dated 11 / 25 / 2025, page 12 / 99 5 / 91 solubilization, capacity, glass transition, flexibility, gloss and / or plasticity. Consequently, performance (including, but not limited to, stability, resistance to phase separation, absorption, cleaning, solubility potential, color potential, lubrication, film formation, distribution uniformity, comedogenic tendency, ease of removal) may be lower than desired. Finally, although such natural oils are an important renewable material, they are not always the formulator's first choice and, in fact, are often not even considered.

[0021] Mineral oils and vegetable oils are frequently used as components of agricultural compositions. Consequently, there is a need for materials that are renewable, natural, and biodegradable, with different and controllable chemical, physical, and / or mechanical properties, so that the limitations found in natural and naturally maleated oils are minimized or eliminated. Most agricultural compositions contain more than one inert ingredient to help deliver the active ingredient with fungicidal, bactericidal, insecticidal, and herbicidal activity in combination with the inert ingredient or an adjuvant used in plant treatments. The agricultural composition employed comprises modified naturally maleated oils. The combination with active ingredients for agriculture and specific ingredients can improve the efficiency of the active ingredient itself used in agriculture.Therefore, there is a need to develop new functionalized natural maleate oils for use in curative treatments of agricultural crops and agricultural compositions that are non-toxic and inspired by or created from renewable resources.

[0039] Modified natural maleate oils are useful in a wide variety of agricultural compositions and applications. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0040] This application provides an agricultural composition comprising modified natural maleated oils that do not exhibit many of the limited properties of natural maleated oils. The modified natural maleated oils are useful in a wide variety of agricultural compositions and applications.

[0041] Natural oils are abundant, inexpensive, and derived from sustainable sources. Natural oils are useful for synthesizing renewable compounds such as polymers, plastics, and plasticizers, compounds that are useful in a variety of agricultural applications. One difficulty with using natural oils is that they are mixtures of triglycerides containing varying degrees of unsaturated groups, which are relatively unreactive. To make these natural oils reactive, these unsaturated groups are usually chemically modified to make them reactive. For example, these unsaturated groups can react to provide epoxide functional groups or succinic anhydride functional groups. Despite these chemical modifications, maleated natural oils may still exhibit limited properties, such as insolubility or non-dispersibility in water and alcohols.Consequently, there is a need for modified natural maleated oils that do not exhibit the limited properties of natural maleated oils.

[00111] The maleation reaction in natural oil can occur under heating in three different ways. The first is known as the “Ene” reaction (pericyclic reaction between an allylic moiety with an allylic hydrogen and an enophile), producing a triglyceride structure with anhydride moieties (succinic anhydride) and causing the migration of a double bond in a fatty acid. The second is a radical addition, which consumes a double bond in the fatty acid, incorporating succinic anhydride into the natural oil structure. The final reaction is also a radical addition that incorporates maleic anhydride into the natural oil structure without consuming C=C bonds (fatty acid chain and maleic anhydride); this reaction occurs due to the deprotonation of a hydrogen between two alkene groups. Subsequently, the maleated natural oil can react with the hydrophobic or hydrophilic moiety of a hydrocarbilic alcohol, a hydrocarbilic amine, or a silicon-based compound.

[00112] The reaction in the non-limiting example above, for illustrative purposes only, can be carried out at elevated temperatures, such as a temperature between about 150 °C and about 300 °C, alternatively between about 170 °C and about 230 °C, or alternatively between about 200 °C and about 220 °C.

[00113] During maleation, the molar ratio of maleic anhydride to natural oil in some embodiments is 1:1. In other embodiments, the molar ratio of maleic anhydride to natural oil is 1:1 to 2:1; in other embodiments, 1:1 to 2.8:1; and in still other embodiments, 1:1 to 3.2:1.

[00252] Herbicides: A dispersant can be used to disperse herbicides in an oil-based solution, allowing for better and more consistent coverage of weeds in agricultural fields. This can increase the effectiveness of the herbicide and reduce the amount of herbicide needed.

[00253] For example, a formulation for an oil-based herbicide dispersion may include 20 to 50% by weight of the herbicide active ingredient, 5 to 50% by weight of a carrier oil, such as mineral oil or vegetable oil, and 1 to 5% by weight of the non-aqueous dispersant. The specific concentrations will depend on the properties of the herbicide and the oil, as well as the target application (Table 6). Table 4: Herbicide composition Ingredients % by weight Halosulfuron-methyl 20 to 50 Mineral oil 5 to 50 Maleated soybean oil 1 to 5

[00254] Insecticides: Non-aqueous dispersants can also be used to disperse insecticides in oil-based solutions. This can be particularly useful in greenhouse applications, where water-based sprays may be less effective or more likely to cause plant damage.

[00255] For example, a formulation for an oil-based insecticide dispersion may include 1 to 10% by weight of the insecticide's active ingredient, 90 to 99% by weight of an oil. Petition 870250107893, dated 11 / 25 / 2025, pages 95 / 99 88 / 91 carrier, such as canola oil or soybean oil, and 1 to 5% by weight of non-aqueous dispersant. Specific concentrations will depend on the properties of the insecticide and the oil, as well as the target application. Table 5: Insecticide Composition Ingredients % by weight Imidacloprid 1 to 10 Canola oil 90 to 99 Maleated soybean oil 1 to 5

[00256] Fungicides: Non-aqueous dispersants can also be used to disperse fungicides in oil-based solutions, which can be particularly useful for treating fungal infections in crops or soil.

[00257] For example, a formulation for an oil-based fungicide dispersant may include 10 to 30% by weight of the fungicidal active ingredient, 70 to 90% by weight of a carrier oil, such as vegetable or mineral oil, and 1 to 5% by weight of the non-aqueous dispersant. The specific concentrations will depend on the properties of the fungicide and the oil, as well as the target application. Table 6: Fungicide Composition Ingredients % by weight Myclobutanil 10 to 30 Soybean oil 70 to 90 Maleated soybean oil 1 to 5

[00258] Seed Coatings: Non-aqueous dispersants can also be used as components of seed coatings, allowing for better adhesion and coverage of pesticides on the seed surface. This can improve pesticide efficiency and reduce the amount of pesticide needed per seed.

[00259] For example, a formulation for a seed coating may include 1 to 20% by weight of the pesticide, 5 to 30% by weight of a binder, such as starch or gum, 50 to 90% by weight of a Petition 870250107893, dated 11 / 25 / 2025, pp. 96 / 99 89 / 91 carrier oil, such as vegetable or mineral oil, and 1 to 5% by weight of non-aqueous dispersant. Specific concentrations will depend on the properties of the pesticide, binder, oil and dispersant, as well as the target seed and application.
