Abstract

A sticker adjuvant that may be used in agrochemical compositions is disclosed. The sticker adjuvant is a polyether amide or a polyether imide formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with a polyfunctional monomer. The polyfunctional monomer may be a polyacid, a di-functional acyl halide, an acid anhydride, a poly(acid anhydride) and a mixture thereof.

Claims (28)

1. A sticker adjuvant comprising a polyether amide or a polyether imide formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with an acid anhydride comprising polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride, wherein the polyoxyalkylene diamine comprises the formula:

wherein x=2 to 8.

2. A sticker adjuvant comprising a polyether amide or a polyether imide formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with an acid anhydride comprising polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride, wherein the polyoxyalkylene diamine comprises the formula:

wherein y=5 to 40 and x+z=3 to 8.

3. A sticker adjuvant comprising a polyether amide or a polyether imide formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with an acid anhydride comprising polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride, wherein the polyoxyalkylene diamine comprises the formula

wherein n=15 to 50.

4. The sticker adjuvant of claim 3 wherein the polyether polyamine has an average molecular weight of approximately 1000.

5. The sticker adjuvant of claim 1 wherein the polyether amide or the polyether imide is formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with the acid anhydride comprising polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride and a polyacid comprising a C 6 -C 54 polycarboxylic acid or a dimerized fatty acid.

6. The sticker adjuvant of claim 5 wherein the polyacid is a dimerized fatty acid.

7. The sticker adjuvant of claim 1 wherein the polyether amide or polyether imide has a molecular weight of at least 1000.

8. A sticker adjuvant comprising a solvent and a polyether amide or a polyether imide formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with a polyfunctional monomer selected from the group consisting of: a polyacid, a di-functional acyl halide, an acid anhydride, a poly(acid anhydride) and a mixture thereof and wherein the solvent comprises a petroleum-based solvent, a methylated seed oil or a combination thereof.

9. The sticker adjuvant of claim 8 wherein the polyether polyamine comprises a polyoxyalkylene diamine.

10. The sticker adjuvant of claim 9 wherein the polyoxyalkylene diamine comprises the formula:

wherein x=2 to 8.

11. The sticker adjuvant of claim 9 wherein the polyoxyalkylene diamine comprises the formula:

wherein y=5 to 40 and x+z=3 to 8.

12. The sticker adjuvant of claim 8 wherein the polyether polyamine comprises the formula:

wherein n=15 to 50.

13. The sticker adjuvant of claim 12 wherein the polyether polyamine has an average molecular weight of approximately 1000.

14. The sticker adjuvant of claim 8 wherein the polyacid comprises a C 6 -C 54 polycarboxylic acid.

15. The sticker adjuvant of claim 8 wherein the polyacid comprises a dimerized fatty acid.

16. The sticker adjuvant of claim 8 wherein the acid anhydride comprises a C 6 -C 54 acid anhydride.

17. The sticker adjuvant of claim 8 wherein the acid anhydride comprises polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride.

18. The sticker adjuvant of claim 8 wherein the polyether amide or polyether imide has a molecular weight of at least 1000.

19. The sticker adjuvant of claim 2 wherein the polyether amide or the polyether imide is formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with the acid anhydride comprising polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride and a polyacid comprising a C 6 -C 54 polycarboxylic acid or a dimerized fatty acid.

20. The sticker adjuvant of claim 19 wherein the polyacid is a dimerized fatty acid.

21. The sticker adjuvant of claim 3 wherein the polyether amide or the polyether imide is formed by the reaction of a polyether polyamine with the acid anhydride comprising polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride and a polyacid comprising a C 6 -C 54 polycarboxylic acid or a dimerized fatty acid.

22. The sticker adjuvant of claim 21 wherein the polyacid is a dimerized fatty acid.
