Description

[0001] This invention relates to a liquid non-aqueous composition comprising 20 to 60% by weight of aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) or sodium tris(ethyl phosphonate) as an active ingredient. The invention also relates to a method for its production and its use for applying the contained active ingredient.

[0002] Active ingredients are known to differ from one another in various aspects, including their physicochemical properties such as solubility in water, solvents, and / or oils, melting and boiling points, polarity, molar mass, etc. These properties affect the ability to formulate active ingredients, the properties of the resulting formulations, and their suitability for specific agrochemical applications or for turf / ornamental plant management applications.

[0003] It is also known that organic substances have different water solubilities, and these water solubilities may be pH-dependent depending on their chemical properties, such as water solubility acquired through the formation of salts.

[0004] Aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) is a solid active ingredient that has so far only been formulated into solid formulations, such as water-dispersible granules (WG) or wettable powders (WP). Aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) has very high water solubility (111.3 g / L at 20°C) and becomes unstable after a few days once dissolved in water. Therefore, aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) cannot be formulated into stable suspension concentrates (SC) in water. Unfortunately, aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) also has very poor solubility in most organic solvents, and therefore cannot be formulated into emulsifiable concentrates (EC). Another disadvantage of formulation is that a relatively high amount of aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) is required for good efficacy in agrochemical applications. Application rates exceeding 1000 g / ha are typically needed. Therefore, the concentration in the concentrate preferably needs to be formulated to be higher than 400 g / L. At lower concentrations, the application rate used by farmers would be too high. This is why solid formulations of up to 80% by weight (such as the Aliette brand from Bayer AG) are available. ® One of the reasons why it has become so prevalent. However, farmers prefer liquid formulations because they are easier to use (e.g., volumetric measurement is easier than with solid formulations which must be measured using a balance), and liquid formulations are dust-free. Common oil dispersions (such as those described in EP2193712) are also unsuitable for liquid aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) concentrates. Because oil often results in very high viscosity in the formulation, the concentration of commonly used oils (such as mineral oil or rapeseed oil) cannot exceed a loading of 300 g / L.

[0005] Another challenge is that aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) has a very low pH (measured at approximately pH 3-4 in aqueous spray solutions). Therefore, the dispersant must disperse aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) at a very low pH and must also enhance the solubilization behavior of the active ingredient in the spray solution before it can settle and solidify.

[0006] Therefore, the applicant has recognized the need for a non-solid, anhydrous aluminum tris(ethylphosphonate) dispersion, preferably one with a high loading of the active ingredient without negatively impacting the stability of the active ingredient. Furthermore, the formulation is characterized by good long-term stability and good dispersibility in spray solutions applied by farmers or end-users.

[0007] US4348385 already describes formulations of pesticide active ingredients that are only partially insoluble in water or whose chemical properties are unstable after prolonged exposure to water.

[0008] US2008 / 318774 discloses stable agricultural suspensions containing 60 to 90% by weight of glycerol, and mentions that aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) can be used in particular in these suspensions. However, due to the high glycerol concentration, the aforementioned formulations are unsuitable for formulations with high loadings of aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate), as their viscosity would be excessive for any commercial use. Therefore, US2008 / 318774 specifies a maximum loading of 30% by weight of the active ingredient.

[0009] US5906962 discloses stable non-aqueous suspending agents containing 5 to 85% by weight of an active ingredient, particularly aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate). However, stable formulations can only be obtained when hydrated polysaccharides (such as xanthan gum or hydroxypropyl ether guar gum) are used as thickeners. With aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) or sodium tris(ethyl phosphonate), the use of these thickeners results in a viscosity increase in the formulation that is unacceptable for commercial use.

[0010] WO03 / 006135 discloses stable non-aqueous suspending agents comprising 0.1 to 75% by weight of solid particles, particularly aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate). However, stable formulations are only obtained when hydrogenated castor oil or wax is used, and in most cases, in combination with silica. Hydrogenated castor oil or wax is known to have a thickening effect on formulations. With aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) or sodium tris(ethyl phosphonate), the use of these thickeners results in a viscosity increase in the formulation that is unacceptable for commercial use.

[0011] US2002 / 065198 describes a stable suspension concentrate comprising one or more agricultural solids, a single nonionic surfactant, and a water-soluble liquid. However, this document does not disclose formulations containing aluminum tris(ethylphosphonate).

[0012] US2018 / 228161 discloses an aqueous suspending agent comprising a solubilized phosphite, which, according to the description, may also be aluminum tris(e)phosphonate. US2018 / 228161 does not disclose examples of the use of aluminum tris(e)phosphonate and also mentions that disodium hydrogen phosphite is preferred. The aqueous conditions mentioned in US2018 / 228161 would cause aluminum tris(e)phosphonate to hydrolyze, and therefore are not suitable for this active ingredient.

[0013] US2008 / 280763 discloses a method for improving turfgrass quality using an aqueous composition based on aluminum tris(ethylphosphonate) and phthalocyanine compounds.

[0014] WO 2017 / 025581 and WO2017 / 025582 disclose agricultural chemical formulations that should overcome the drawbacks of aqueous suspension formulations, such as their unsuitability for active ingredients with high water solubility. Both patent applications describe liquid non-aqueous compositions comprising pesticides in suspension particulate form, a water-soluble solvent, an alkoxylate, and pyrolytic silica particles as an inorganic thickener. Neither patent specifically mentions aluminum complexes with very high water solubility, such as aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate). Furthermore, the disclosed formulations achieve relatively low loading levels. Additionally, WO2017 / 025582 indicates that only by using pyrolytic silica particles as an inorganic thickener can physically stable formulations be obtained. However, with aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) or sodium tris(ethyl phosphonate), using these thickeners results in formulation viscosity increases to unacceptable levels for commercial use.

[0015] Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a stable liquid formulation of aluminum tris(e)phosphonate or sodium tris(e)phosphonate, having a high loading of active ingredient and a viscosity acceptable for commercial use.

[0016] Surprisingly, this problem is solved by a non-aqueous liquid composition described in certain embodiments of the present invention, the composition comprising: a) Aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) or sodium tris(ethyl phosphonate) b) Water-soluble solvents, c) Surfactants, and d) Optional organic or inorganic colorants, Compound a) is present in an amount of 20 to 60% by weight, and the composition does not contain organic or inorganic thickeners.

[0017] Surprisingly, it has been found that stable liquid compositions with high loadings of aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) or sodium tris(ethyl phosphonate) complexes can be obtained without adding any thickeners.

[0018] Therefore, the compositions disclosed herein may not contain inorganic or organic thickeners. According to certain aspects disclosed herein, the aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) or sodium tris(ethyl phosphonate) compositions disclosed herein specifically exclude inorganic and / or organic thickeners.

[0019] Stable liquid compositions are characterized by their physical and chemical storage stability over long periods of time and over a wide temperature range (0 to 54°C). This wide temperature range requirement advantageously allows for the use of formulations containing only one active ingredient or a combination of active ingredients in different climatic regions.

[0020] The storage stability of liquid compositions is characterized, in particular, by the fact that the contents of these liquid compositions undergo only minimal phase separation (if any) during storage. Another parameter of the stability of a liquid composition is, for example, the stability of the dispersion within the composition, which manifests as the presence or absence of agglomerates in the composition.

[0021] Compositions described in this application consisting only of the essential components (not optional components) should also be considered as disclosed.

[0022] Furthermore, within the preferred scope described in this invention, different preferred levels should be understood as being able to be combined with each other in a permutation and combination manner. However, in any case, the same preferred levels, especially the most preferred embodiments / preferred levels in each case, should be able to be combined with each other, and such combinations are indeed disclosed.

[0023] Unless otherwise stated, in the context of this invention, room temperature means a temperature of 20°C to 25°C.

[0024] Unless otherwise stated, % and weight% in this application refer to weight percentages. The percentage values ​​are based on the total weight of the composition.

[0025] It should be understood that in the case of a composition containing multiple components, the sum of the weight percentages of all components in the composition is 100.

[0026] In the context of this invention, unless otherwise defined, the term "alkyl," whether used alone or in combination with other terms, is understood to mean a group preferably having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and may be branched or unbranched, consisting of a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group. Non-limiting examples of alkyl groups may include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl.

[0038] Particle size distribution is based on CIPAC (CIPAC = International Committee for Collaboration on Pesticide Analysis). www.cipac.orgThe particle size distribution was determined using the MT187 method. The particle size distribution was determined by laser diffraction. A representative amount of sample was dispersed in degassed water at ambient temperature (sample self-saturation), ultrasonicated (typically for 60 seconds), and then measured in a Malvern Mastersizer series (Malvern Analytical) instrument. Scattered light was measured at various angles using a multi-element detector, and the relevant values ​​were recorded. Using the Fraunhofer model, the proportion of certain size classes was calculated from the scattering data, and the volume-weighted particle size distribution was thus calculated. The D90 value gives the particle size of the active ingredient that accounts for 90% of all volumetric particles.

[0189] The mode of action and the fungal pests treated with aluminum tris(ethyl phosphonate) are described in "The Pesticide Manual," 16th edition, MacBean, 2012 BCPC. Finally, the compositions of the present invention have been found to be very suitable for the application of their contained agrochemically active ingredients to plants and / or their habitats.

[0190] The following examples are used to illustrate the subject matter of the invention and not to limit it.

[0191] Example Materials used in the examples: method: All tests were performed using the CIPAC method, a general rule for plant growth described below. (CIPAC = International Committee for Pesticide Analysis; www.cipac.org)

[0192] Particle size Particle size is based on CIPAC (CIPAC = International Committee for Collaboration on Pesticide Analysis). www.cipac.org Method MT 187 was used for determination. Particle size distribution was determined by laser diffraction. A representative amount of sample was dispersed in degassed water at ambient temperature (sample self-saturation), treated with ultrasound (typically 60 seconds), and then measured in a Malvern Mastersizer series (Malvern Panalytical) instrument. Scattered light was measured at various angles using a multi-element detector, and the relevant values ​​were recorded. Using the Fraunhofer model, the proportion of certain size classes was calculated from the scattering data, and the volume-weighted particle size distribution was calculated from this. Typically, the D50 or D90 value is given as the active ingredient particle size (representing 50% or 90% of all volumetric particles).

[0193] rotational viscosity Rotational viscosity was measured according to CIPAC MT 192. Stable and convenient formulations are expected to have a medium viscosity range to facilitate easy emptying and cleaning of the bottle.

[0194] Phase separation / dehydration shrinkage After storage, phase separation or the fraction of precipitate is calculated by dividing H1 [the horizontal height of the interface layer between the precipitate and the supernatant] by H0 [the total packing height of the sample], or, as in this case, recorded as the fraction of supernatant: Precipitate fraction = (H1 / H0) * 100 [%] or Supernatant fraction = 100 - Precipitate content [%) Expectedly stable and convenient formulations show little or no phase separation after prolonged storage at elevated temperatures and are easily rehomogenized. Significant phase separation after short-term storage indicates limited storage stability and, if present, a marked tendency to form difficult-to-disperse precipitates during storage.

[0195] Determination of aluminum tris(ethylphosphonate) (FEA) content by HPLC-UV / Vis : The active ingredient, aluminum tris(ethylphosphonate), was separated from the formulation components using isocratic elution on a reversed-phase column. Quantitative evaluation was performed by comparing the peak area with that of a reference standard after UV detection, using single-point calibration or a standard curve.

[0196] HPLC: Agilent 1260 LC system; Column: Phenomenex Luna C18(2) 150 x 4.6 mm; Eluent A: 1.3 mM phthalic acid + 0.5 mM TBA (tetrabutylammonium) pH 8.5 / acetonitrile 95 / 5 (v / v); Eluent B: None; Column temperature 30℃; Flow rate: 1.0 ml / min; Injection volume 10 µl; Detection conditions: Measurement wavelength 550 nm; Detector: Agilent 1260, DAD or VWD; Integration and evaluation: ThermoFisher Chromeleon V7.2.

[0197] Precipitates and redispersibility in the bottle After slowly inverting the bottle 3 times, pour out the supernatant, visually inspect the remaining formulation at the bottom of the bottle, then pour in water to 20% of the bottle volume, slowly invert 10 times, and repeat the above redispersion process 4 times (3 times in Example 5). →Classification: "+" indicates that the material is homogenized and flows freely before water is added, and is easily redispersed after water is added. "O" has some residual viscosity before water is added, but it is easy to disperse after water is added; "-" The residue is viscous and cannot be completely redispersed.

[0198] The formulations described below are characterized by dispersing active particles in an aqueous miscible solvent. The manufacturing process is generally similar to that for producing suspension concentrates or oil dispersions. Methods for preparing suspension concentrate formulations or oil dispersions are known in the art and can be produced by known methods familiar to those skilled in the art.
