US 2026/0198490 A1 · ADDITIVE INGREDIENTS OF SYNERGISTS AND SURFACTANTS PROVIDED IN A SINGLE-USE TRANSPORTER PREFERABLY FOR USE WITH WEED CONTROL, INSECT CONTROL AND MOLD REMOVAL COMPOSITIONS

Abstract

An additive transporter, housing additive ingredients of synergists and surfactants preferably for use in a natural, weed control application, insect control application, algae removal and/or mold removal end-use application. In certain non-limiting embodiments, the transporter can be fluid soluble. Where the transporter is fluid soluble it can be added to a container/bottle having a desired amount of water and organic acid or inorganic acid causing the transporter to dissolve and release the additive ingredients for mixing with the water and organic acid. Preferably, the additive or product enhancer ingredients can be organic ingredients and can comprise, without limitation, citric acid, potassium oleate, wintergreen oil and almond oil. Potassium citrate can also be included. As the transporter dissolves the released ingredients mix with organic acids and/or inorganic acids to provide an end-use composition for eco-friendly weed control, insect control, algae removal and/or mold removal. Though not considered limiting, the transporter can be in the form of a pod, packet, pouch, capsule, carton, or cardboard/plastic/metal container.

Dependent claims

A method for creating an end-use composition at or near the time of use of the end-use composition by the user;

comprising the steps of:
a. housing one or more ingredients for an end-use composition within a fluid soluble transporter;
b. providing the remaining ingredients of the end-use composition within a container or bottle, wherein at least one of the remaining ingredients being in a liquid state/fluid form;
c. placing the fluid soluble transporter within a container or bottle and causing the fluid soluble transporter to come into contact with the fluid ingredient of the end-use composition;
d. causing the fluid soluble transporter to dissolve from contact with the fluid ingredient to release the housed one or more ingredients;
and
e. mixing the housed ingredients released in step d. with the remaining ingredients to form the end-use composition.

4 more elements

A product for weed control, insect control, algae removal, or mold removal, comprising:

(A) a transporter housing a composition, wherein the composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition housed in (A), 2-40% citric acid and 1-50% potassium oleate, and;
(B) organic acid or inorganic acid, and water;
wherein the water and the organic acid or inorganic acid are housed within a bottle or container;
wherein the product provides an end-use composition, at or near a time of use by a user, for weed control, insect control, algae removal, or mold removal when the composition housed in (A) is mixed with the water and organic acid or inorganic acid of (B);
and
wherein the citric acid and potassium oleate act as a synergist and surfactant for the organic acid or inorganic acid in the end-use composition.
