Abstract
The present invention teaches the composition of terminally modified, amino, polyether, siloxanes, known henceforth as amino siloxane alkokylates, and their use as adjuvants. The amino siloxane alkoxylates of the present invention enhance the efficacy of agrichemicals on plants as compared to conventional TSE's alone. The amino siloxane alkoxylates have at one end, an amine functionality and at the other end, a polyalkyleneoxide functionality.
Claims18
A composition comprising an amino siloxane alkoxylate of the following formula:
- ZMe2SiO((Me)2SiO)xSiMe2Q wherein x=0 to 2, Q=CaH2aO(C2H4O)b(C3H6O)cR, a=2 to 4, b=1 to 12, c=0 to 5, provided that when c>0, (b+c)=2 to 12, R is hydrogen, acetyl, or a hydrocarbon radical having between 1 and 4 carbon atoms, Z is BN(DO(CdH2dO)eR)2−zVz, each d is 2 to 4, each e is 0 to 15, z is 0 to 2, V is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of less than 8 carbon atoms which may be optionally substituted with hydroxyl and alkylamine, the nitrogen of which may be optionally alkoxylated or substituted with alkyl, D is an alkylene divalent bridging group of 2 to 6 carbon atoms on which there may be hydroxyl substituents, and B is a divalent alkylene group of 2 to 4 carbon atoms or D(O)y(CdH2dO)jD, wherein j=0 to 6 and y is 0 or 1.
