Abstract

A composition comprising: (A) a mixture comprising at least one (thio)phosphoric acid triamide according to the general formula (I) R 1 R 2 N—P(X)(NH 2 ) 2 , wherein X is oxygen or sulfur; R 1 is a C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, C 6 to C 20 aryl, or dialkylaminocarbonyl group; R 2 is H, or R 1 and R 2 together with the nitrogen atom linking them define a 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic radical, which optionally comprises 1 or 2 further heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, and (L1) at least one amine selected from the group consisting of (L10), (L11), (L12), (L13), (L14), (L15), (L16), (L17), (L18), (L19), (L20), (L21), (L22), (L23), (L24), and (L29).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A composition comprising:
(A) a mixture comprising at least one (thio)phosphoric acid triamide according to the general formula (I)
R 1 R 2 NP(X)(NH 2 ) 2 ,
wherein
X is oxygen or sulfur;
R 1 is a C 1 to C 20 alkyl, C 3 to C 20 cycloalkyl, C 6 to C 20 aryl, or dialkylaminocarbonyl group;
R 2 is H, or
R 1 and R 2 together with the nitrogen atom linking them define a 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic radical, which optionally comprises 1 or 2 further heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur;
and

(L14) polyethyleneimine according to the general formula (V)

which has an average molar mass (MW) of from 200 to 1,000,000 g/mol and in which
R 1 to R 6 are independently from each other—hydrogen, linear or branched C 1 - to C 20 -alkyl, -alkoxy, -polyoxyalkylene, -polyoxyethylene, -hydroxyalkyl, -(alkyl)carboxy, -phosphonoalkyl, -alkylamino radicals, C 2 - to C 20 -alkenyl radicals or C 6 - to C 20 -aryl, -aryloxy, -hydroxyaryl, -arylcarboxy or -arylamino radicals which are optionally further substituted, and
R 2 , R 3 and R 5 may—independently from each other—optionally be each additionally further polyethyleneimine polymer chains, and
R 1 may optionally be an NR 3 R 4 or an NH 2 radical, and
x, y and z are—independently from each other—0 or an integer, wherein the sum of x, y and z must be chosen in such a way that the average molar mass is within the specified range;
further comprising a mixture of propane-1,2-diol (alpha-propylene glycol) and DMSO.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the mixture (A) comprises at least one N-n-butylthiophosphoric acid triamide (NBPT) and N-n-propylthiophosphoric acid triamide (NPPT).

3. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising
(D) at least one amide according to the general formula (III)
R 31 CO—NR 32 R 33

wherein
R 31 CO is an acyl radical having 1 to 22 carbon atoms;
R 32 is H or alkyl; and
R 33 is H or alkyl; or
R 32 and R 33 together with the nitrogen atom linking them define a 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic radical, which optionally comprises 1 or 2 further heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.

4. The composition according to claim 3 , wherein (D) is a N,N-dialkyl amide based on lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, ricinoleic acid, 12-hydroxy stearic acid, or their mixtures.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:

(C4) an amine containing at least one saturated or unsaturated C 8 to C 40 alkyl group R 23 ; and
(C5) a saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic amine which contains at least one oxygen atom as ring atom and which does not contain a further alkoxy group.
