A composition and a method of using the same wherein said composition comprises a rodenticide and an additive selected from the group consisting of 1. polyoxyalkylated alkyl phenols; 2. sorbitan fatty acids and polyoxyalkylated derivatives thereof; 3. polyoxyalkylated fatty amines; 4. polyoxyalkylated branched or linear alcohols, diols or polyols; 5. polyoxyalkylated branched or linear mercaptans; 6. polyoxyalkylated esters; and 7. polyoxyalkylated amines. The composition may optionally include an organic solvent and/or a dye. The rodenticide may be selected from a wide host of compounds, including brodifacoum, bromadiolone, diphacinone, chlorodiphacinone, monofluoroacetatic acid, bromethalin, calciferol, flocoumafen, and salts of such compounds.
A low volatile organic compound co-solvent system is disclosed for preparing emulsion concentrates of water-insoluble pesticides having a melting point of less than about 110.degree. C. The co-solvent system comprises a water-soluble ethoxylated fatty acid/rosin acid-nonionic surfactant composition.
The present invention relates to novel tocopheryl oligosaccharides, acylated tocopheryl oligosaccharides, sulfated tocopheryl oligosaccharides, and antiviral agents including the sulfated tocopheryl oligosaccharides as active ingredients. In the tocopheryl oligosaccharide, the hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group at the 1-position in the terminal sugar moiety of an oligosaccharide which consists of 3.about.20 of identical or different repeating monosaccharide units selected from the group consisting of glucose, galactose, mannose, talose, idose, altrose, allose, glucose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, fucose, and fructose, which are glycoside-linked, is substituted by a tocopherol group. In the acylated tocopheryl oligosaccharides, each of any hydroxy group of the sugar moiety, other than the hydroxy group at the 1-position in the terminal sugar moiety of the oligosaccharide described above, is protected by an acyl group. The antiviral agents including the sulfated tocopheryl oligosaccharides or the biologically acceptable salt of the same as active ingredients have low toxicities and exhibit improved antiviral action, especially against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
A low volatile organic compound co-solvent system is disclosed for preparing emulsion concentrates of low melting organophosphorous insecticides wherein the bioefficacy of the insecticide active is significantly enhanced. The co-solvent system comprises a water-soluble ethoxylated fatty acid/rosin acid-nonionic surfactant composition.
The present invention relates to rodenticidal foams based on hydrophilic polymers, of the following composition: a) rodenticidal active compound, b) hydrophilic polymers having an average molecular weight of 2,000 to 60,000 (determined by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) from the series consisting of ling-chain polyurethanes, polyesters, polyester-polyols, polystyrenes, polybutadienes and maleic acid polymers, which are in each case modified in the polymer chain by carboxylic acid groups or amino groups, c) long-chain aliphatic C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 -fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, dodecanoic acid and stearic acid, or alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts thereof, d) and if appropriate further auxiliaries from the series consisting of dyestuffs, emulsifiers, solvents, perservatives, attractants and baits.
