Oil in Water Emulsion - EW
Due to the low flash point of organic solvents efforts are being made to replace them with universal solvent - Water. Many such environment friendly agro chemical formulations have been commercialized. Emulsol B -25 (for Butachlor), Emulsol TEW (for Triacontanol), Emulsol NB (for Nitrobenzene) are the few examples which have been developed with out incorporating any solvent after extensive R&D.
For preparing an EW formulation the toxicant is blended with Emulsifier and water is slowly added under high shear mixing. A guided receipe is as given below:
| Butachlor 48 EW | Nitrobenzene 20 w/v | ||||
| Butachlor a.i. | 48 | Nitrobenzene | 22 | ||
| Emulsol B25 | 5 | Emulsol TEW | 2 | ||
| Water | q.s.to make 100 | Water | q.s.to make 100 | ||
Kaiser R&D Center can offer solutions to other EW environmently friendly systems also.
