Cyclopropene compositions
View Patent ↗Provided is a composition comprising (a) at least one cyclopropene molecular encapsulating agent complex, and (b) at least one salt other than calcium chloride, wherein the ratio of dry weight of said salt to dry weight of said cyclopropene molecular encapsulating agent complex is from 0.03 to 500, and wherein said composition either (i) has 30% or less water by weight, based on the weight of said composition, and has at least one said salt that is non-deliquescent, or (ii) has more than 30% water by weight, based on the weight of said composition, and has a ratio of dry weight of said salt to weight of said water of 0.05 or higher. Also provided are methods of storing and using such compositions.
1. A composition comprising
(a) at least one cyclopropene molecular encapsulating agent complex, and
(b) at least one non-deliquescent salt, wherein no chloride salt is used;
wherein the ratio of dry weight of said salt to dry weight of said cyclopropene molecular encapsulating agent complex is from 0.03 to 500, and wherein said composition has more than 30% water by weight, based on the weight of said composition, has a ratio of dry weight of said salt to weight of said water of at least 0.3, and has said cyclopropene molecular encapsulating agent complex distributed throughout said water.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein said non-deliquescent salt comprises magnesium sulfate.
3. The composition of claim 1 wherein at least one said non-deliquescent salt is dissolved in said water.
