Abstract
Temperature stable aqueous compositions and methods for their preparation and use are described. The compositions can include cloquintocet-mexyl, a surfactant comprising a tallowamine alkoxylate, a cocoamine alkoxylate, or a combination thereof, and water.
Claims20
A method of reducing crystal growth of an aqueous suspension of hydrated cloquintocet-mexyl, comprising:
- contacting an aqueous suspension of hydrated cloquintocet-mexyl with a surfactant selected from the group consisting of a tallowamine alkoxylate, a cocoamine alkoxylate, and mixtures thereof.
The method of claim 8, wherein the weight ratio of hydrated cloquintocet-mexyl to the pesticide is from 1:1 to 9:1.
A method of making a stabilized aqueous composition of hydrated cloquintocet-mexyl, comprising:
- mixing anhydrous cloquintocet-mexyl with an aqueous composition comprising water and a wetting surfactant to form an aqueous cloquintocet-mexyl composition;
- converting at least 95% of the anhydrous cloquintocet-mexyl to hydrated cloquintocet-mexyl;
- mixing a stabilizing surfactant comprising a tallowamine alkoxylate, a cocoamine alkoxylate, or a combination thereof with the aqueous hydrated cloquintocet-mexyl composition;
- and
- milling the resultant product.
