This disclosure provides a composition comprising a mixture of molecules of Formula (I): {RO&#x2014;[CH(CH)CHO)][CH&#x2014;CHO]}P(&#x2550;O)(OX)(I), wherein R is chosen from linear or branched C-Calkyl or alkenyl groups; a is 0 to 50, b is 0-30, and a+b&#x3e;0; Xis potassium, triethanolamine, or H, and m and n are each equal to 1 or 2, such that when m=1 then n=2, and when m=2 then n=1. Moreover, in the mixture some of the molecules have m=1 and n=2 and some of the molecules have m=2 and n=1, wherein the mole ratio of compounds where m=1 to compounds where m=2 is of from 1:1 to 3:1.

Universal dispersant

The present invention relates to an aqueous agrochemical spray solution containing an agrochemical active and a surfactant. The spray solution comprises a dispersed phase comprising dispersed particles which have an average particle size between 1 to 100 microns and the concentration of said dispersed particles is from about 0.001 to 5 wt %. The aqueous agrochemical spray solution is capable of reducing the volume of the fine droplets in mist whose size is less than 150 microns during spraying by at least 20% compared to the same aqueous spray solution without the presence of the surfactant. The present invention also relates to a method of reducing the spray drift of an aqueous agrochemical spray solution upon spraying with a spraying apparatus. The method includes adding the surfactant to the aqueous agrochemical spray solution in an amount effective to form the dispersed phase.

The present invention is directed to a nitrogen containing surfactant composition comprising at least one nitrogen containing surfactant of structure (h) or structure (i). The nitrogen containing surfactant of structure (h) is as shown below: Structure (h). The nitrogen containing surfactant of structure (i) is as shown below: Structure (i). The present invention is also directed to an agricultural composition comprising at least one agrochemical and at least one nitrogen containing surfactant composition of the present invention. 

Nitrogen containing surfactants with alkoxylation on the hydroxyl group of fatty chains

The invention presented in this application relates to a fragrance deposition system for high surfactant applications such as shampoo and body wash. The system will provide a long lasting release of the fragrance and is more efficient at low levels and does not deposit particles that can cause adverse properties.

Deposition from surfactant systems

A seed coating composition for low temperature applications, said seed coating composition comprising at least one polymer having a Tg of &minus;60&deg; C. to 20&deg; C., provided that the Tg of the polymer is less than or equal to the seed surface temperature at the time of application. The seed coating compositions of the invention provide a matrix which entraps active ingredients and improves seedling survival by maintaining the active ingredient on the surface of the seed for a period of time. The seed coating also increases the safety of using an active ingredient by reducing operator exposure and environmental release. In addition, the seed coating composition is resistant to cracking and flaking even when the seed coating composition is applied at a temperature of less than 20&deg; C. Moreover, the seed coating composition improves the uniformity of seed size and shape which is advantageous to mechanical planting techniques.

Seed coating compositions for low temperature applications

This invention is an adhesive paste that consists essentially of a polymeric resin in particulate form and a carrier for the resin. The polymeric resin is present as particles with a particles size of 50 microns or smaller, is insoluble in the carrier at ambient temperature, and is soluble in the carrier at a temperature above ambient temperature. The carrier either reacts with the resin to form a covalent bond, or vaporizes from the adhesive paste, at a temperature above the temperature at which the resin is soluble in the carrier. The paste contains no inorganic fillers, holds its geometry on application, and fuses to a void-free bond.
