Abstract
Description
[0001] An emulsifiable concentrate having an amide / ester / co-solvent solvent system Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) comprising one or more pesticides, one or more emulsifiers and a solvent system (S) comprising one or more amide solvents, one or more ester solvents and one or more (partially) water soluble co- solvents, to an emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation formed from said emulsifiable concentrate (EC), and to the use of ester solvents for improving the stability of an emulsion- in-water formulation wherein the non-aqueous phase contains an amide solvent and a (partially) water soluble co-solvent. Background to the Invention When preparing agrochemical formulations, it is usually required to dissolve the agrochemically active ingredient, e.g. one or more pesticides in a solvent, which is then diluted in a larger volume of water in order for it to be applied in the form of a fine spray. Alternatively, it may be necessary to dilute the agrochemically active ingredient in a solution and load it onto a seed or solid carrier. Whilst some agrochemically active ingredients are salts and thus highly water-soluble, allowing for simply dissolution, many other non-ionic agrochemically active ingredients are hydrophobic and not at all water-soluble. In the case of active ingredients that are not water-soluble, it is normally necessary to dissolve the formulation in a water-immiscible solvent and add one or more surfactants, so that the solution will form an oil-in-water emulsion, when added to water. Such a formulation is called an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulation. Alternatively, the water- immiscible solution comprising active ingredient can be pre-emulsified in water in a concentrated form. Such a formulation is called an Emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation. Water-immiscible solvents commonly used for EC and EW formulations include, but are not limited to, aromatic hydrocarbons such as the SOLVESSO® series, paraffinic hydrocarbons such as the EXXSOL ® range, ester solvents such as the EXXATE® range, all of which are manufactured by EXXONMOBIL, and ester solvents such as methyloleate. Further, solvents that are water-immiscible at high concentration include cyclic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexanone and isophorone. In more recent times, solvents that exhibit improved toxicity and reduced flammability profiles have been used. These include the dibasic ester solvents of long chain di-acids having from 8-16 carbon units, which are usually methyl ester derivatives, and fatty acid amide solvents, examples of which are the dimethylamide and morpholineamide derivatives of C6-C16fatty acids. Whilst these solvents may have benefits such as improved emulsion stability, improved solubility properties and low melting temperatures, few solvents have a good balance of all 3. The ester-based solvents described above have very good emulsion stability and mid-range melting points, but often have poor active ingredient solubility. The amide-based solvents described above have very good active ingredient solvency and emulsion stability but rather high melting points, limiting their application as a solvent in emulsifiable concentrates that might either be stored or employed at low temperatures. Finally, solvents that combine reasonable active ingredient solubility with low melting points, such as propylene carbonate, tend to have very poor emulsion stability, generally due to having undesirably high water solubility. Whilst the simplicity of a single solvent system has its advantages, it is very difficult to achieve a balance of all properties required for an effective emulsifiable concentrate and highly-engineered solvents are often more expensive that the simple solvents described above. As such, more complicated solvents systems able to achieve an impressive balance of these properties is required, preferably wherein the use of relatively low-cost solvents is employed, thus achieving high cost efficiency. Summary of the Invention The finding of the present invention is that an emulsifiable concentrate comprising a combination of one or more water insoluble amide solvents, one or more water insoluble ester solvents, and one or more (partially) water soluble co-solvents achieves a particularly beneficial balance of pesticide solubility, emulsion stability and low temperature emulsifiable concentrate stability. In a first aspect, the present invention is directed to an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) comprising one or more pesticides, one or more emulsifiers, and a solvent system (S) comprising, more preferably consisting of: a) one or more amide solvents (S1) having a water solubility of less than 1.50% w / w; b) one or more ester solvents (S2) having a water solubility of less than 1.50% w / w; and c) one or more co-solvents (S3) having a water solubility of greater than 1.50% w / w. In a further aspect, the present invention is directed to an emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation, comprising an aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase, wherein the non- aqueous phase is the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) of the first aspect. In a final aspect, the present invention is directed to a use of one or more ester solvents (S2) having a water solubility of less than 1.50% w / w for improving the stability of an emulsion-in-water formulation, wherein the non-aqueous phase comprises one or more amide solvents (S1) having a water solubility of less than 1.50% w / w and one or more co- solvents (S3) having a water solubility of greater than 1.50 % w / w. Definitions Emulsifiable concentrates are typically optically transparent oily liquid formulations that are prepared by dissolving a certain amount of pesticide in organic solvents (such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and solvent oil), which may also contain surfactants (i.e. emulsifiers) and other additives. These concentrates are suitable for dispersion within an aqueous phase to form an emulsion-in-water formulation. Emulsifiable concentrates must be monophasic, i.e. the pesticide and any emulsifiers must be completely soluble in the organic solvent at the concentrations used. An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible, wherein one liquid forms a dispersed phase, suspended as tiny droplets within the other liquid, which is known as the continuous phase. Emulsions are typically referred to as oil-in-water (i.e. the water is the continuous phase) or water-in-oil (i.e. the oil is the continuous phase). In the context of agrochemical formulations, oil-in-water emulsions, known as emulsion-in-water formulations are often used to disperse hydrophobic pesticides across fields of crop plants. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a pesticide as "any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest". A pesticide may be a chemical substance or biological agent (such as a virus or bacteria) used against pests including insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms) and microbes that compete with humans for food, destroy property, spread disease or are a nuisance. In the context of agrochemical formulations, pesticides are used to actively target pests, typically fungi, insects, and / or weed plants, without unduly harming the crop plant. In the context of the present invention, alkyl refers to linear and branched chains alkyl chains, whilst aryl refers to any aromatic carbocyclic ring system, being either a single ring, for example phenyl group or a fused ring system, for example a naphthyl group or an anthracenyl group.

The one or more pesticides Another essential component of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is one or more pesticides. The one or more pesticides of the present invention are not limited. A pesticide is generally a chemical or biological agent (such as pesticidal active ingredient, compound, composition, virus, bacterium, antimicrobial, or disinfectant) that through its effect deters, incapacitates, kills or otherwise discourages pests. Target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, spread disease or are vectors for disease. The term “pesticide” includes also plant growth regulators that alter the expected growth, flowering, or reproduction rate of plants; defoliants that cause leaves or other foliage to drop from a plant, usually to facilitate harvest; desiccants that promote drying of living tissues, such as unwanted plant tops; plant activators that activate plant physiology for defense of against certain pests; safeners that reduce unwanted herbicidal action of pesticides on crop plants; and plant growth promoters that affect plant physiology e.g. to increase plant growth, biomass, yield or any other quality parameter of the harvestable goods of a crop plant.

In addition to these essential components, the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) may further comprise adjuvants conventionally used for agrochemical formulations, the choice of the adjuvants depending on the specific use form, the type of formulation or the active substance. Examples of suitable adjuvants are surface-active substances (such as solubilisers, protective colloids, wetters and tackifiers), retention agents, wetting agents, spreaders, uptake enhancers, penetration agents, spray drift controllers, crystallization inhibitors, organic and inorganic thickeners, bactericides, antifreeze agents, antifoams, optionally colorants and adhesives (for example for the treatment of seed) or conventional adjuvants for bait formulations (for example attractants, feedants, bittering substances).

Additionally or alternatively, the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) according to the present invention preferably comprises, more preferably consists of: a) from 1 to 50% w / w, more preferably from 5 to 40% w / w, most preferably from 10 to 35% w / w, relative to the total weight of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC), of the one or more pesticides; b) from 1 to 30% w / w, more preferably from 5 to 25% w / w, most preferably from 10 to 20% w / w, relative to the total weight of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC), of the one or more emulsifiers; c) from 1 to 70% w / w, more preferably from 3 to 50% w / w, most preferably from 5 to 40% w / w, relative to the total weight of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC), of the one or more amide solvents (S1); d) from 1 to 70% w / w, more preferably from 3 to 50% w / w, most preferably from 5 to 40% w / w, relative to the total weight of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC), of the one or more ester solvents (S2); e) from 1 to 70% w / w, more preferably from 3 to 50% w / w, most preferably from 5 to 40% w / w, relative to the total weight of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC), of the one or more co-solvents (S3); and f) optionally from 1 to 30% w / w, more preferably from 2 to 20% w / w, most preferably from 3 to 15% w / w, relative to the total weight of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC), of one or more adjuvants, wherein the total amount of components a), b), c), d), e), and f) do not exceed 100%. The emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is preferably stable in liquid form at 21 °C for at least 2 weeks. The emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is preferably stable in liquid form at –5 °C for at least 24 hours. Preferably, the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) has a flash point, determined according to ISO 2719, of at least 40 °C, more preferably of at least 50 °C, most preferably at least 60 °C. As mentioned above, it is a finding of the present invention that many typical commercially important pesticides have improved solubility in the solvent system (S) according to the present invention, when compared with typical solvent systems used for agrochemical emulsifiable concentrates. In addition to this finding, it has been further found that the inventive emulsifiable concentrates (EC) form highly stable emulsions when mixed with water to form emulsions, so called emulsion-in-water (EW) formulations. The stability of an emulsion-in-water formulation may be evaluated by determining how much sedimentation or cream is formed following homogenization (i.e. following emulsification). Both cream and sedimentation represent a departure from idealized emulsion behavior, where the disperse particles either rise to the surface (creaming) or sink to the bottom (sedimentation) depending on their density. When determining the extent of creaming or sedimentation, it is not critical whether the emulsified droplets remain as such or aggregate to form a new continuous phase – both are sufficient to determine that the emulsion has broken down. The stability of a given emulsion is dependent on a number of factors, including the nature of the two immiscible phases, the relative amounts of each phase, and the emulsifiers used to stabilize the emulsion. For the purposes of quantifying emulsion stability in the context of the present invention, a stable emulsion is viewed as an emulsion that forms less than or equal to a given amount of cream and / or sedimentation 24 hours after homogenization. It is a finding of the present invention that the inventive emulsifiable concentrates (EC) are suitable for forming a wide range of emulsion-in-water (EW) formulations, when mixed with water and homogenized, which demonstrate unexpectedly beneficial emulsion stability. In order to quantify this beneficial feature of the emulsifiable concentrates (EC), a model emulsion system comprising 5.0 mL of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and 95.0 mL of water may be used, in which case a stable emulsion is defined as an emulsion that produces less than or equal to 1.5 mL of cream or sediment, 24 hours after formation of said emulsion. As such, it is preferred that the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) forms a stable emulsion when 5.0 mL of said emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is combined with 95.0 mL of water and homogenized, wherein a stable emulsion is defined as an emulsion having less than or equal to 1.5 mL of cream or sediment, 24 hours after formation of said emulsion. More preferably the emulsion forms less than or equal to 1.0 mL of cream or sediment, 24 hours after formation of said emulsion. Most preferably the emulsion forms less than or equal to 0.5 mL of cream or sediment, 24 hours after formation of said emulsion. If the emulsion does produce a measurable level of sediment or cream, it is further preferred that the emulsion may be re-homogenized, i.e. re-emulsified, to reform a stable emulsion, wherein a stable emulsion is as defined as above, wherein less than or equal to 1.5 mL of cream or sediment is formed 30 minutes after re-homogenization, more preferably wherein less than or equal to 1.0 mL of cream or sediment is formed 30 minutes after re- homogenization, most preferably wherein less than or equal to 0.5 mL of cream or sediment is formed 30 minutes after re-homogenization. Methods for the initial homogenization and re-homogenization are well known in the art, and the precise method used in such a test is not critical. That said, it is preferred that the homogenization is carried out by gentle inversion of the emulsion 10 times and that the re-homogenization is likewise carried out by gentle inversion of the emulsion 10 times. As would be understood by the person skilled in the art, the threshold of how much cream or sediment would indicate that an emulsion would not be stable is dependent on the amounts of each phase present in the emulsion. As such, alternative tests, such as may be envisaged. A model emulsion system comprising 0.5 mL of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and 99.5 mL of water may be used to assess low temperature stability, in which case a stable emulsion is defined as an emulsion that produces less than or equal to 1.0 mL of cream or sediment, 24 hours after formation of said emulsion at 5 °C. It is thus further preferred that the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) forms a stable emulsion when 0.5 mL of said emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is combined with 99.5 mL of water and homogenized at 5 °C, wherein a stable emulsion is defined as an emulsion having less than or equal to 0.5 mL of cream or sediment, 24 hours after formation of said emulsion, having been maintained at 5 °C. More preferably the emulsion forms less than or equal to 0.2 mL of cream or sediment, 24 hours after formation of said emulsion. If the emulsion does produce a measurable level of sediment or cream, it is further preferred that the emulsion may be re-homogenized, i.e. re-emulsified, to reform a stable emulsion, wherein a stable emulsion is as defined as above, wherein less than or equal to 0.5 mL of cream or sediment is formed 30 minutes after re-homogenization, preferably wherein less than or equal to 0.2 mL of cream or sediment is formed 30 minutes after re- homogenization. Emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation As described above, the emulsifiable concentrates (EC) of the present invention are most suitable for forming highly stable emulsion-in-water (EW) formulations. In a further aspect, the present invention is directed to an emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation, comprising an aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase, wherein the non- aqueous phase is the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) of the first aspect. The precise amounts of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and water present in the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation are not critical; however, it is preferred that the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation comprises, more preferably consists of, an amount in the range from 0.01 to 80.0% w / w of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) according to the first aspect and an amount in the range of from 20.0 to 99.99% w / w of water, both amounts being expressed relative to the total weight of the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation. It is further preferred that that the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation comprises, more preferably consists of, an amount in the range from 0.1 to 50.0% w / w of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) according to the first aspect and an amount in the range of from 50.0 to 99.9% w / w of water, both amounts being expressed relative to the total weight of the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation. It is especially preferred that the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation comprises, more preferably consists of, an amount in the range from 0.5 to 5.0% w / w of the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) according to the first aspect and an amount in the range of from 95.0 to 99.5% w / w of water, both amounts being expressed relative to the total weight of the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation. In addition to the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) according to the first aspect and water, the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation may further contain adjuvants conventionally used for agrochemical formulations (co-called tank adjuvants), the choice of the adjuvants depending on the specific use form, the type of formulation or the active substance. Examples of suitable adjuvants are surface-active substances (such as solubilisers, protective colloids, wetters and tackifiers), retention agents, wetting agents, spreaders, uptake enhancers, penetration agents, spray drift controllers, crystallization inhibitors, organic and inorganic thickeners, bactericides, antifreeze agents, antifoams, optionally colorants and adhesives (for example for the treatment of seed) or conventional adjuvants for bait formulations (for example attractants, feedants, bittering substances). All preferable embodiments and fallback positions relating to the emulsifiable concentrate (EC) of the first aspect are applicable mutatis mutandis to the emulsion-in-water (EW) formulation of the further aspect. Use In a final aspect, the present invention is directed to a use of one or more ester solvents (S2) having a water solubility of less than 1.50% w / w for improving the stability of an emulsion-in-water formulation, wherein the non-aqueous phase comprises one or more amide solvents (S1) having a water solubility of less than 1.50% w / w and one or more co- solvents (S3) having a water solubility of greater than 1.50 % w / w. All preferable embodiments and fallback positions relating to the one or more ester solvents (S2), the one or more amide solvents (S1) and the one or more co-solvents (S3) of the first aspect are applicable mutatis mutandis to the one or more ester solvents (S2), the one or more amide solvents (S1) and the one or more co-solvents (S3) of the present aspect. Likewise, all preferable embodiments and fallback positions relating to the emulsion-in- water formulation given for the second aspect are applicable mutatis mutandis to the emulsion-in-water formulation of the present aspect.

As a guide, C6fatty acid methyl ester has a Tm of –71 °C, C10fatty acid methyl ester has a Tm of –18 °C, C12fatty acid methyl ester has a Tm of 4 °C, and C18fatty acid methyl ester has a Tm of 40 °C. The following methods were used to obtain the data given in Table B: Melting temperature: The melting temperature of the individual solvents is determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Pour point: The pour point of individual solvents and mixtures of solvents was determined according to DIN ISO 3016. For individual solvents, the pour point is typically 0 to 5 °C higher than the melting point. Flash point: The flash point of individual solvents and mixtures of solvents was determined according to ISO 2719 (i.e. Pensky-Martens closed cup method). Values marked with two asterisks (i.e. 130**) were measured using DIN ISO 2592 (i.e. Cleveland open cup method), which typically gives values that are approximately 5-10 °C higher than when ISO 2719 is used. Water solubility: The water solubility of the solvent was determined according to a method based on CIPAC MT157.1 and OECD 105 via the assessment of undissolved solvent in water after vigorous mixing and standing. Herein, various amounts of solvent and water were mixed with vigorous shaking in a glass-stoppered graduated cylinder or separating funnel, followed by standing for at least 30 min to enable separation. For example, if undissolved solvent was observed after thorough mixing of 0.1 g solvent in 100 mL of water, the solvent had a water-solubility equal to or below 0.1% (≤ 1 g / L). This method can be repeated with various amounts of solvent and water to enable the determination of the water-solubility of the solvent. CIPAC D water: Made in the lab using a standard recipe published by CIPAC “MT 18.1.4”: Standard Waters .The water has a hardness of 342 ppm, with a 4:1 mixture of Ca:Mg ions at pH 6-7. The pesticides: Oxyfluorfen, tebuconazole, prothioconazole, trifloxystrobin, flufenacet and difenoconazole were purchased from various commercial sources. The emulsifiers: The emulsifiers used in the experiments are listed below. Emulsifier 1 Ethoxylated castor oil (35 mol% ethoxylated) Emulsifier 2 Ethoxylated castor oil (40 mol% ethoxylated) Emulsifier 3 Calcium dodecylbenzene sulfonate 70% in isobutanol Emulsifier 4 EO-PO-EO block copolymer, 40% EO, Molar Mass 2900 g / mol The following methods were used to evaluate the various combinations of solvents in the inventive and comparative formulations: 1. Emulsion concentrate (EC) stability at room temperature (21°C) All the components within the mixture are readily dissolved within the solution after stirring at room temperature (21°C) to form a liquid, free-flowing emulsion concentrate (EC). If the resulting EC remains stable without any precipitation for at least 2 weeks upon storage at room temperature, then this is termed “stable”. C = clear, S = stable, L = liquid, U1 = unstable due to separation U2 = unstable due to solidification. 2. Emulsion concentrate stability at low temperature (–5°C) All the components within the mixture are readily dissolved within the solution after stirring at room temperature (21°C) to form a liquid, free-flowing emulsion concentrate (EC). If the resulting EC remains liquid at –5°C and stable without any precipitation for at least 24 hours upon storage at –5°C, then it is termed “stable”. C = clear, S = stable, L = liquid, U1 = unstable due to separation U2 = unstable due to solidification 3. Emulsion stability at 5 % at room temperature (21°C) The emulsion was tested for its dispersibility by the effect known as blooming. The emulsions were assessed according to their spontaneous emulsification when the concentrate is added to water (known in the art as "blooming") with a visual assessment given on a scale of 1 to 5, whereby 1). Excellent, “cloud of emulsion”, does not sink to bottom of cylinder. 2). Good, “cloud of emulsion”, but sinks to bottom of cylinder 3). Okay, “poor emulsion cloud”, larger droplets 4). Poor, “no emulsion cloud”, small “particles” observed 5). Very poor, no emulsion, oil and water phases immediately separate“ Emulsifiable concentrates were prepared in the following examples and the resulting 5% w / w emulsions in various water hardness at 21 °C after 24 hours were assessed. Emulsion stability was determined as a function of time, with the amount of either cream or sediment measured. To measure emulsion stability, 5.0 mL of the emulsifiable concentrate was diluted in 95.0 mL CIPAC D water in a 100 mL measuring cylinder. The resulting oil-in-water emulsion stability was assessed after 1, 2, 4 and 24 hours. A highly stable emulsion does not form cream or sediment, or has less than 1.5 mL cream or sediment after 24 hours, and can be readily re-emulsified after 24 h of standing without the formation of cream or sediment, with such re-emulsified emulsions assessed 30 minutes after re-emulsification. Both the initial emulsification and the re-emulsification were achieved by gently inverting the emulsion 10 times. In the following tables Y (i.e. yes) indicates that at most 1.5 mL cream or sediment is observed after 24 hours, whilst N (i.e. no) indicates that more than 1.5 mL cream or sediment is observed after 24 hours. 4. Emulsion stability at low concentration (0.5 %) and low temperature (5°C) Emulsifiable concentrates were prepared in the following examples and the resulting 0.5 % w / w emulsions in various water hardness at 21 °C after 24 hours were assessed. Emulsion stability was determined as a function of time, with the amount of either cream or sediment measured. To measure emulsion stability, 0.5 mL of the emulsifiable concentrate was diluted in 99.5 mL CIPAC D water in a 100 mL measuring cylinder. The resulting oil-in-water emulsion stability was assessed after 24 hours. A highly stable emulsion does not form cream or sediment, or has less than 1.0 mL cream or sediment after 24 hours. Emulsification was achieved by gently inverting the emulsion 10 times. In the following tables Y (i.e. yes) indicates that at most 1.0 mL cream or sediment is observed after 24 hours, whilst N (i.e. no) indicates that more than 1.0 mL cream or sediment is observed after 24 hours. 5. Emulsion stability test using low-temperature re-circulation test A low-temperature emulsion re-circulation test was conducted to assess the stability of the emulsion under field application conditions. Herein, a 5L temperature-controlled vessel isothermally maintained at 4 °C containing 3L of pesticide emulsion at 0.5% w / w emulsifiable concentrate was prepared. The emulsion contains 3 L CIPAC D water and 15 g of emulsifiable concentrate, resulting in an emulsion concentration of 0.5% w / w. The resulting emulsion was pumped through a metal filter with a 140 µm pore size attached to the temperature-controlled vessel at a flow rate of 1L / min for 6 h at 4 °C, wherein the pressure was continually monitored. A perfectly stable emulsion maintains a pressure < 1.0 bar throughout the 6 h re-circulation period, and the filter after 6 h re-circulation was removed and dried, with a total collected solid material < 100 mg measured.

[0017] NM* = not measured (usually due to failure of a test higher up in the table). NE** = no emulsion formed (usually due to high water solubility of solvent system) *** = crystals formed, rather than cream / sedimentation As can be seen from Tables 1a to 7b, the individual amide solvents (e.g. S1a, see CEd) tend to have poor emulsifiable concentrate stability (often solidifying or separating after storage at –5 °C), as well as generally having poor emulsion stability. The individual ester solvents (e.g. S2a, see CEe) have very poor active ingredient solubility, with separation (i.e. U1) observed even at room temperature in all cases, thus emulsion stability tests often cannot be performed, although when such tests are performed, emulsion stability is also poor. The individual co-solvents (e.g. S3a, see CEf) have poor emulsifiable concentrate stability, especially at low temperatures, and do not form stable emulsions. Combinations of S1 and S2 (see CEb) are superior to S1 and S2 individually, but still fail to overcome the issues regarding emulsifiable concentrate stability at low temperatures (due to solidification or separation), and emulsion stability is generally still poor. Combinations of S1 and S3 (see CEa) occasionally provide better emulsion stability at low temperatures; however, emulsion stability is still generally poor, especially at low concentrations / low temperature. Combinations of S2 and S3 (see CEc) experience poor active ingredient solubility at low temperature (and occasionally at room temperature), as well as having mixed emulsion stability performance at room temperature. It is only through using a three-way combination of S1, S2 and S3 that excellent emulsion concentrate stability at room temperature and low temperature, as well as excellent emulsion stability at high concentration / room temperature and low concentration / low temperature can be achieved. Furthermore, these effects can be achieved across a range of suitable amide solvents (S1), a range of suitable ester solvents (S2) and a range of (partially) suitable water soluble co-solvents (S3) (as shown for the range of inventive examples from IEa to IEo).
