The present invention provides a spreading agent for agrochemicals having superior adhesion particularly for plant surface. The present invention also provides an agrochemical spray solution having a reduced risk of leaving the spreading agent for agrochemicals on a plant surface. The present invention relates to a spreading agent for agrochemicals comprising a carboxy-modified vinyl alcohol polymer (A) having a carboxy-containing monomer unit content of 0.1 mol % to 10 mol %, a viscosity-average degree of polymerization of 200 to 5,000, and a degree of saponification of 65 mol % to 99.9 mol %.

Spreading agent for agrochemicals, and agrochemical spray solution

Release paper base paper includes a substrate; and a coating agent containing a modified polyvinyl alcohol (A) and sodium acetate, the substrate coated with the coating agent, wherein the modified polyvinyl alcohol (A) has 0.005 mol % or more and less than 10 mol % of double bonds derived from unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof (B) in side chains, has 1.4 mol % or more and 2.0 mol % or less of 1,2-glycol bond, units, and is water soluble, and a content of the sodium acetate relative to the modified polyvinyl alcohol (A) is 0.01 mass % or more and 10 mass % or less. The release paper base paper of the present invention is excellent in sealing properties for silicone. Use of the release paper base paper allows acceleration of curing of silicone in a release layer and improvement in adhesion between the substrate and the release layer.

Release-paper base paper and method for producing same, and release paper

The present invention provides a spreading agent for agrochemicals having excellent spreadability particularly against surfaces of plant leaves. The present invention also provides an agrochemical spray solution comprising the spreading agent for agrochemicals, and that shows excellent storage stability (particularly viscosity stability) even during long storage. The present invention relates to a spreading agent for agrochemicals that comprises an ethylene-modified vinyl alcohol polymer (A) having an ethylene unit content of 1.0 mol % to 19 mol %, a 1,2-glycol linkage unit content of 1.2 mol % to 2.0 mol %, a viscosity-average degree of polymerization of 200 to 5,000, and a degree of saponification of 80 mol % to 99.9 mol %.

Release paper base paper, includes: a substrate; and a coating agent containing a polyvinyl alcohol (A) and a compound (B), the substrate coated with the coating agent, wherein the compound (B) is unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof having a pKa of less than 4.00, and 0.1 part by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less of the compound (B) is contained based on 100 parts by mass of the polyvinyl alcohol (A). The release paper base paper of the present invention is excellent in sealing properties for silicone and waterproofness. The release paper base paper of the present invention is also capable of accelerating curing of silicone in a release layer.

There is provided a composition (C) comprising a modified PVA (A) and a compound (B), wherein the modified PVA (A) contains 0.01 mol % or more and less than 2 mol % of double bonds derived from an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof in side chains; the compound (B) is a compound having a conjugated double bond and two or more hydroxy groups bonded to the conjugated double bond, or a salt or oxide thereof; and a content of the compound (B) in the composition (C) is 0.001 parts by mass or more and less than 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the modified PVA (A). The composition (C) has excellent hue, contains less insolubles in water, and has excellent water solubility.
