Process for the preparation of solvent-free suspensions

Abstract

A process for the preparation of a solvent-free suspension of a low-melting point water-insoluble solid agrochemical active ingredient, which comprises suspending 1-40% by weight of a silica-based carrier in 40 to 97% by weight of water in the presence of 1-40% by weight of anionic dispersant, heating the suspension thus obtained to a temperature above that of the active ingredient, and adding, with stirring, 1-25% by weight of a molten active ingredient with a melting point of <80° C. or a mixture of at least two active ingredients each having a melting point of <80° C. The present invention furthermore relates to the preparation of suspension concentrates, water-dispersible powders and water-dispersible granules based on the suspensions prepared via the abovementioned process.
