Abstract
The present invention provides the use of a UV absorber for reducing the E/Z isomerization of pesticides comprising a double bond. It furthermore relates to a composition comprising an E and/or a Z isomer of a pesticide comprising a double bond and a UV absorber.
Claims20
A method of reducing the E/Z isomerization of a pesticide comprising a double bond comprising mixing a UV absorber to a composition comprising the pesticide.
A composition comprising an E and/or a Z isomer of a pesticide comprising a double bond and a UV absorber wherein the E isomer or the Z isomer of the pesticide is present in an amount to at least 60 wt. %, based on the total amount of the E and Z isomers of the pesticide, and wherein the UV absorber has a solubility in water at 20° C. of at least 5.0 g/l.
