Abstract
An emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is provided. The EC includes an active component, a solvent component, and an emulsifier component. The active component is present in an amount of from 20 to 90 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the emulsifiable concentrate. The solvent component includes 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester. The emulsifier component is present in an amount of from 5 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the emulsifiable concentrate and includes an anionic surfactant, a non-ionic surfactant, and a surfactant including at least one ethylene oxide block. Moreover, the active component is dissolved in the solvent component.
