ABSTRACT:
A pesticide composition comprising a particulate hydrolyzable metal phosphide is rendered liquid phase water repellent by treating particles of the composition with a silicon-organic compound. The silicon-organic compound has at least one reactive moiety, preferably hydrogen capable of reacting with and binding to reactive sites contained on surfaces of particles of the composition. Preferably, the reactive group is hydrogen and the reactive site is a hydroxy group. The silicon-organic compound can also undergo cross-linking reactions. In the water-repellent treatment the silicon-organic compound may be applied to and be reacted to become bonded to any of the solid ingredients of the composition, including urea which serves as a self-ignition inhibitor. Preferably at least part of the silicon organic compound is bonded to particles of the metal phosphide. Advantages result if all the silicon-organic compound is thus bound to the metal phosphide. On the phosphide surfaces novel metal-silicone compounds may form.
The treatment protects the phosphide against access of liquid state water and resulting violent reaction, without inhibiting the access of water in its gaseous state (e.g. atmospheric moisture) required for the generation of phosphine when the composition is used as a fumigant.
The hydrophobing reaction of the silicon-organic compound, e.g. polymethyl hydrogen siloxane is promoted by heat or catalysts (metal organic compounds bases, e.g. ammonia, ammonium compounds, amines). The composition in powder form (enclosed in gas permeable sachets) or in tablets may contain additives, e.g. self-ignition inhibitors such as ammonium carbamate, ammonium carbonate and urea.
