This invention relates to a formulation comprising a compound of formula (I) where R1 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl; R2 is methyl or ethyl; R3 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl; and n is 1, 2 or 3; to the use of a compound of formula (I) as a solvent; and to certain novel compounds of formula (I). 

Formulations

This invention relates to a formulation comprising a compound of formula (I) where R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, optionally substituted C1-18 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-18 alkenyl, optionally substituted C3-8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted C3-8 cycloalkenyl or optionally substituted aryl; provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R1 and R2 is an integer from 5 to 40 inclusive; the use of a compound of formula (I) (i) as an adjuvant provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R1 and R2 is an integer from 5 to 40 inclusive; and (ii) as a solvent provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R1 and R2 is an integer from 5 to 20 inclusive; to certain novel compounds of formula (I) and to a process for preparing those novel compounds. 

An encapsulated composition of (a) a pesticide at least active via ingestion that is photolabile, and (b) at least one photoprotectant, wherein the encapsulating polymeric barrier is base triggerable is disclosed. A method for controlling damage of a material by a pest by the use of such encapsulated compositions is likewise disclosed. The composition as disclosed gives protection for beneficial arthropods and reduces workers exposure.

Capsule formulation

A product comprising microcapsules which themselves comprise (a) a polymeric shell; and (b) a core which comprises (i) a solid agrochemical dispersed in a matrix and (ii) a water-immiscible liquid characterized in that the matrix is distributed non-continuously throughout the water-immiscible liquid.

Formulation

A novel microcapsule comprising an encapsulated material which is enclosed within a solid permeable shell of a polymer resin having surface modifying compounds capable of reacting with isocyanate incorporated therein is disclosed. The process for producing such microcapsules is likewise disclosed.
