Formulating with deep eutectic solvents

Deep eutectic solvents are attracting more attention. These eutectic systems, also-called designer solvents, are aimed to replace volatile organic solvents. Deep eutectic solvents are also used to improve the performance of pharmaceutical active ingredients. Adjuvants & Formulations explored the state-of-the-art of these ‘green solvents’ in agrochemical formulations.

Effect of 2,4-D formulation on volatility under field conditions

Dicamba is more volatile than 2,4-D and there is no difference in vapour emissions between the amine and choline salts of 2,4-D under field conditions. That is the take-home message of a study that is briefly summarized in Adjuvants & Formulations.
