Patent No. EP3554236 (titled "Adjuvants") was filed by Syngenta Crop Protection on Dec 11, 2017. The application was issued on Sep 25, 2024.
Alcohol alkoxylate adjuvants of the formula R-O-(PO)m-(EO)n-H, where R is an alkyl group, m is 1-10, and n is 1-50, exhibit improved biological performance in agrochemical formulations compared to conventional adjuvants. These alkoxylates demonstrate enhanced efficacy as adjuvants for herbicides such as nicosulfuron, mesotrione, pinoxaden, and fomesafen, outperforming established adjuvants like Tween 20 and tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate.
