Abstract (AI)
Abstract The conventional pesticide emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations usually contain a large amount of aromatic solvents. This causes adverse effects to environment and human health due to the toxicity of such organic solvents. In this study, a cypermethrine 25EC formulation was developed using methyl ester as a green solvent. The physicochemical characterizations, emulsion properties and storage stabilities of the methyl ester EC formulations were investigated and compared with those of the EC formulation using naphtha A100 as a solvent, evidencing excellent emulsion properties and storage stabilities of such methyl ester EC formulations.
Key Findings
1
A cypermethrin 25EC pesticide formulation was developed using methyl ester as a greener alternative to conventional aromatic solvents.
2
Methyl ester-based emulsifiable concentrates exhibited excellent emulsion properties compared with the naphtha A100-based formulation.
3
The methyl ester formulations demonstrated excellent storage stability during the investigated evaluations.
4
The study supports methyl ester as a potentially less hazardous carrier solvent for reducing reliance on toxic aromatic solvents in pesticide EC formulations.
