Abstract

Provided is a pest control agent in the form of a suspension, which exhibits excellent dispersion stability for a long time without forming a hard cake due to settling and separation of solid particles or without losing fluidity due to gelation even when a cationic pest control active ingredient and/or an acid is used. Specifically provided is a pest control agent in the form of a suspension, which contains (a) a cationic pest control active ingredient and/or an acid, (b) a nonionic thickening agent, (c) a nonionic surface active agent, (d) a solid active ingredient and (e) water.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pest control agent in the form of a suspension, consisting of:
(a) a cationic pest control active ingredient;
(b) a nonionic thickening agent;
(c) a nonionic surface active agent;
(d) a solid active ingredient;
(e) water;
(f) an antifreezing agent that is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, ethyl diglycol, ethyl triglycol propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, butanediol, and butyl diglycol;
(g) an antifoaming agent of polydimethylsiloxane; and
(h) a preservative that is at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, ascorbic acid, hexamethylenetetramine, sodium propionate, sorbic acid, a sulfurous acid solution-paraformaldehyde, benzoic acid, propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sodium benzoate, ascorbyl palmitate, and sodium 1,1′-biphenyl-2-olate; wherein:
the amount of the cationic pest control active ingredient is 5-50% by weight, with respect to the pest control agent as a whole,
the cationic pest control active ingredient is at least one selected from the group consisting of iminoctadine albesilate and iminoctadine acetate,
the nonionic thickening agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of cellulose derivative, pullulan, pectin, propylene glycol alginate, and guar gum,
the nonionic surface active agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether, a polyoxyalkylene styryl phenyl ether, a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ester, a polyoxyalkylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a polyoxyalkylene castor oil ether, a polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block polymer, and a polyoxyalkylene alkylamine,
the solid active ingredient is a compound having a melting point of 40° C. or more and a solubility of 1% by weight or less in water at 25° C.,
the amount of the nonionic thickening agent is 0.1-5% by weight, with respect to the pest control agent as a whole,
the amount of the nonionic surface active agent is 0.1-10% by weight, with respect to the pest control agent as a whole, and
the amount of the solid active ingredient is 5-50% by weight, with respect to the pest control agent as a whole.
