Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a powder composition comprising a collection of particles (I) having median particle diameter of 10 micrometers to 200 micrometers, wherein each of said particles (I) comprises (a) a covering of a fatty compound having melting point of 50° C. to 110° C. and (b) one or more inner particles (II) comprising one or more complex that contains a cyclopropene compound molecule or a portion of a cyclopropene compound molecule encapsulated in a molecule of a molecular encapsulating agent. Also provided is a slurry comprising water and such a powder. Also provided is a method of contacting plants or plant parts with such a slurry.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A powder composition comprising a collection of particles (I) having a median particle diameter of 10 micrometers to 200 micrometers, wherein each of said particles (I) comprises: (a) a covering of a fatty compound having a melting point of 50° C. to 110° C., wherein the fatty compound is selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated soybean oil, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, or combinations thereof, and (b) a plurality of inner particles (II) comprising one or more complex that contains a cyclopropene compound molecule or a portion of a cyclopropene compound molecule encapsulated in a molecule of a molecular encapsulating agent. 2. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the collection of particles (I) has a median particle diameter of 10 micrometers to 100 micrometers. 3. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the fatty compound has a melting point of 55° C. to 90° C. 4. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogenated soybean oil comprises Dritex S. 5. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogenated cottonseed oil comprises Dritex C. 6. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the microcrystalline wax or carnauba wax mixture comprises microcrystalline wax 963. 7. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the fatty compound is 50% to 99% by weight based on the weight of the powder composition. 8. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the powder composition further comprises one or more dispersant. 9. The powder composition of claim 1 , wherein the powder composition additionally comprises one or more polymer. 10. The powder composition of claim 9 , wherein the one or more polymer comprises a polyethylene wax. 11. A slurry comprising an aqueous medium and a collection of particles (I) having a median particle diameter of 10 micrometers to 200 micrometers, wherein each of said particles (I) comprises: (a) a covering of a fatty compound having a melting point of 50° C. to 110° C., wherein the fatty compound is selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated soybean oil, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, or combinations thereof; and (b) a plurality of inner particles (II) comprising one or more complex that contains a cyclopropene compound molecule or a portion of a cyclopropene compound molecule encapsulated in a molecule of a molecular encapsulating agent.
