Insecticide-containing polymeric material
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to an insecticide-containing polymeric material containing at least one embedded insecticidally active ingredient in the polymeric matrix and having excellent biological activity, and also to the products produced from this polymer and to their use for protecting humans, animals and plants against arthropods, particularly for controlling insects.
1. An insecticide-containing polymeric material comprising a polymer, deltamethrin, and a UV stabilizer, wherein the material comprises a less than 10% R-α-isomer fraction of the deltamethrin, and wherein the UV stabilizer is selected from the group consisting of branched or linear 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-dodecyl-4-methyl phenol, and 2-(5-chloro-2H-benzotriazol-2yl)-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methylphenol and wherein the polymer is polypropyjene or a polypropylene copolymer.
2. The insecticide-containing polymeric material according to claim 1 , wherein the polypropylene is produced using metallocenes as a catalyst.
3. A process for producing the insecticide-containing-polymeric material according to claim 1 , comprising
first melting the polymer, deltamethrin, the UV stabilizer, and optionally further insecticides or additives together or separately at a temperature of between 120 and 250° C.,
subsequently cooling and solidifying the polymeric mixture, and
subdividing the solidified polymeric mixture into pellets.
4. The insecticide-containing polymeric material according to claim 1 wherein the material is in the form of pellets.
5. The insecticide-containing polymeric material according to claim 1 , wherein the UV stabilizer is branched or linear 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-dodecyl-4-methyl phenol.
6. The insecticide-containing polymeric material according to claim 1 , wherein the UV stabilizer is 2-(5-chloro-2H-benzotriazol-2yl)-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methylphenol.
