SPONTANEOUS SELF-FORMING MIXED SURFACTANT NANO-EMULSIONS FROM WATER INSOLUBLE PESTICIDES IN MIXED WATER MISCIBLE SOLVENTS

摘要

A stable solubilized clear-translucent nanoemulsion created by the dilution of concentrated pesticide formulations in water that use a combination of at least two water soluble solvent components in a blend that is tailored to the active ingredient. A pesticidal formulation containing i) at least one pesticide, typically an organophosphate compound; ii) a solvent system containing glycol ethers and lactones, iii) a surfactant system containing two or more nonionic surfactants and iv) excipients.
