Abstract
Described is a biocide composition, comprising: a herbicide; a fatty acid amide; a fatty acid; and optionally an emulsifier and/or a polyol. The composition exhibits an improved stability, especially at lower temperatures, and is both environmentally friendly and non-toxic.
Claims23
A biocide composition, comprising
- (a) about 0.1 to about 5% b.w. a herbicide;
- (b) about 50 to about 90% b.w. a fatty acid amide;
- (c) about 5 to about 15% b.w. a fatty acid;
- and optionally
- (d) about 0.5 to about 5% b.w. an emulsifier and/or
- (e) about 0.1 to about 1% b.w. a polyol
- with the proviso that the amounts add to 100%, wherein said herbicide exhibits solubility in water of less than 5 g/l at a temperature of 20° C. and a water hardness of at most 1000 ppm, and wherein said biocide composition is free of naphthalene.
