NEW SURFACTANT COMPOSITIONS, METHOD FOR THEIR PREPARATION, AND PESTICIDAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SAME

摘要

New surfactant compositions comprising a polyoxyalkylene alkylamine containing at least about 7 moles of an oxyalkylene group and having reduced eye irritancy. The surfactant compositions can contain eye irritant reducing compounds, such as sulfated polyoxyalkylene alkylphenol, alcohol sulfates; polyoxyalkylene alcohol sulfates mono- and dialcohol sulfates; mono- and di-(polyoxyalkylene alcohol) phosphates; mono- and di-(polyoxyalkylene alkylphenol) phosphates polyoxyalkylene alkylphenol carboxylates and polyoxyalkylene carboxylates, said eye irritant reducing compounds containing up to about 60 moles of an alkylene oxide group and its alkyl and alcohol groups having from about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms. The new surfactant compositions can be used to prepare pesticidal compositions, particularly herbicidal compositions containing glyphosate.
