Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of film-forming agent technology, specifically to a uniformly coated film-forming agent and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Seed coating technology is a key means in modern agriculture to improve seed resistance and ensure seedling quality. The film-forming agent, as the core component of the coating formula, directly determines the coating effect, with coating uniformity being one of the core indicators for evaluating its quality. Currently, most seed coating film-forming agents use polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and chitosan as their main base materials, and generally suffer from poor coating uniformity, severely restricting the application effect of coating technology.

[0003] The main reason for the poor coating uniformity of existing film-forming agents is the poor compatibility of the components. The large difference in interfacial tension between hydrophilic and hydrophobic components easily leads to phase separation, resulting in uneven film thickness, localized white spots, or clumping during the film-forming process. Simultaneously, the weak bonding between ordinary inorganic fillers and the organic matrix, coupled with improper viscosity control in some film-forming agents, further exacerbates the problem of uneven coating, resulting in excessive coating of small seeds and insufficient coating of large seeds.

[0004] Insufficient coating uniformity leads to uneven adhesion of active ingredients in seed coating agents, which not only reduces the slow-release effect and pest and disease control efficiency, but may also inhibit seed germination due to localized phytotoxicity, or result in uneven emergence and decreased germination rate due to insufficient coating, ultimately affecting crop yield and quality. Therefore, solving the problem of poor coating uniformity of film-forming agents has become a key bottleneck that urgently needs to be overcome in the current seed coating technology field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes a uniformly coated film-forming agent and its preparation process, which solves the problem of poor coating uniformity of film-forming agents in related technologies.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention proposes a uniformly coated film-forming agent, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 20-25 parts of film-forming material, 3-6 parts of dispersant, 5-10 parts of additive, and 2-4 parts of filler; The additive consists of a first plant gum, a second plant gum, and polyethylene wax; the first plant gum is locust bean gum, and the second plant gum is gum arabic and / or fenugreek gum.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of the first plant gum, the second plant gum, and the polyethylene wax is 1~3:1:0.5.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the second plant gum is fenugreek gum.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the fenugreek gum is sodium alginate composite fenugreek gum.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the raw materials in the sodium alginate composite fenugree gum include sodium alginate and fenugree gum in a mass ratio of 0.5~0.8:2.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the sodium alginate composite fenugree gum includes the following steps: stirring and mixing sodium alginate and fenugree gum to obtain sodium alginate composite fenugree gum.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the filler includes silica and / or calcium carbonate; the film-forming material includes polyvinyl alcohol.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the dispersant includes at least one of alkyl polyoxyethylene ether, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate, alkyl polyoxyethylene ether ammonium sulfate, alkyl polyoxyethylene ether phosphate, and phenylphenol polyoxyethylene ether.

[0014] This invention also proposes a preparation process for a uniformly coated film-forming agent, characterized by comprising the following steps: Film-forming materials, dispersants, additives, and fillers are mixed with water to obtain a film-forming agent.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the mixing process involves first dispersing at 400-600 rpm for 15-20 minutes, and then dispersing at 1200-1300 rpm for 10-15 minutes.

[0016] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this invention, the film-forming agent significantly improves coating uniformity through a rational combination of components, especially optimized additive combinations: polyvinyl alcohol is used as the film-forming material to ensure the basic shapeability of the film layer; the dispersant enhances the dispersion stability of each component; and the filler optimizes the film layer density. The key lies in the use of a compound of locust bean gum, a second plant gum (gum arabic and / or fenugreek gum), and polyethylene wax as additives. Locust bean gum and the second plant gum synergistically regulate the viscosity of the system, reducing the interfacial tension between hydrophilic and hydrophobic components and preventing phase separation; polyethylene wax improves film flowability, reducing film layer accumulation and whitening. These three components synergistically significantly improve coating uniformity. Ultimately, this ensures uniform adhesion of the active ingredients in the seed coating agent, significantly improving the coating uniformity of the film-forming agent. Detailed Implementation
