Abstract:
The invention relates to a hyperbranched polymer comprising:a) a hyperbranched polycondensate with hydroxyl end groups, amino end groups, or a combination thereof condensed to b) one or more linking groups connected to c1) one or more polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethers and c2) one or more poly(C2-C3)alkylene glycol mono-(C8-C22)-alkyl ethers, wherein the weight ratio of components c1):c2) is from 9:1 to 1:9. It further relates to a process for producing the polymer, to a composition comprising the polymer and an active ingredient, and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi or undesired vegetation or insect or acarid infestations or for regulating the growth of plants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to aqueous binder compositions comprising an aqueous polymer latex of a film forming carboxylated polymer and a branched polyetheramine polyol dissolved in the aqueous phase of the aqueous polymer latex, wherein essentially all of the amino groups in the branched polyetheramine polyol are tertiary amine groups. The present invention also relates to water-borne coating compositions containing such an aqueous binder composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to amphiphilic star-like polyether. The core molecule is an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, which is further alkoxylated, first with ethylene oxide or combinations of ethylene oxide and C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, and/or glycidol, and then with a C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, or combination of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, then optionally anionically modified. The resulting amphiphilic star-like polyether thus has an inner core based on an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, an inner shell predominantly containing polyethylene oxide units, the inner shell comprising at least 3 ethylene oxide units and an outer shell predominantly containing polypropylene oxide units, the outer shell comprising at least 3 propylene oxide units. They optionally contain anionic groups instead of hydroxyl groups on the periphery of the macromolecule. The invention further relates to their use as additive in laundry formulations and to their manufacturing process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to composition comprising a pesticide and an alkoxylate of the formula (I) as defined below. The invention further relates to said alkoxylate. The invention further relates to a method of preparing said composition by bringing the alkoxylate and the pesticide into contact. Finally, the invention relates to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein said composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or the crop plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or on their environment; and to seed containing said composition.
