Oil-base sprays

Oil-sensitive papers can be used for sampling oil-based sprays. These white papers turn black when contacted by oils. 

The use of various formulation additives and straight vegetable oil base sprays has been considered many times in the past. With the present favorable cost relationship of vegetable to petroleum oils, a renewed interest has prompted us to examine the potential benefits as well as possible problems that vegetable oil carriers might produce. 

In the last year a new formulation of aminocarb has appeared on the insecticide market. It is finely ground aminocarb suspended in an oil and it has the advantage that it can be tank mixed to give either an oil or a water suspension. Studies (10) show that, like the oil solution, this product has a half life in the same range (3.2 to 6.0 days). There was an indication of a variation in the initial rate of loss due to the physical characteristics of the water emulsion spray (in a series of repeat studies the evaporation rate was not constant). The presence of the emulsifier inhibited evaporation resulting in a higher initial foliar deposit than with the oil base spray. The occurence of the lower rate of deposit of the oil spray can be attributed to the particular oil used in the Canadian budworm sprays. To meet the concerns of the health authorities the standard No. 2 and No. 4 fuel oils which had been used are now prohibited. The accepted product, known as Insecticide Diluent 585 is volatile with an evaporation rate approaching that of water.

Zinc or aluminum metal spray Sprayed metal coatings are porous and should be sealed after application by applying a sealer coat (i.e. a thin coat such as an etch primer) or a thinned version of the final coating system. Oil-based systems should not be used. Metal spray coatings can have excellent durability without overcoating with paint and, particularly for aggressive conditions it is preferable to leave them with sealer only. 

Pyrethrum became the main source of household insecticides in sprays in the USA (1919) and mosquito coils (1895) as well as oil-based preparations (1924) in Japan. Thereafter, the insecticidal ingredients shifted from pyrethrins to various synthetic pyrethroids, but mosquito coils have been used worldwide for more than 110 years without changing in shape.

Amending Directive 2001/5/EC contains several new authorisations including the addition of E 949 hydrogen to annex I, and E 943a butane, E 943b iso-butane and E 944 propane to annex IV for use as vegetable oil pan sprays (professional use only) and as water-based emulsion sprays, quantum satis. E 650 zinc acetate is also added to annex IV for use in chewing gum, max. 1000 mg/kg. 

What to do Remove overwintering brassica plants as soon as they have finished cropping. This should be done by mid-spring. Bury plant debris deep in a compost pile, or in a compost trench. Examine young plants regularly from early summer to fall and squash any colonies of eggs or young. Pesticides Insecticidal soap pyrethrum plant oils and starch-based sprays. 

Figure 6 shows the resulting downwind drift-loss pattern when an oil and a water-base spray of the same drop size is used. Here the evaporation of the water reduces the deposit at points closer to the application while the non-evaporative oil shows a higher deposit out to about one mile, where the two curves cross. The characteristic of non-evaporative oil sprays is to deposit in greater amounts out to about one mile distance when compared with water base sprays, also the oil appears to have less material left to deposit beyond the one mile. Thus a low evaporative base spray produces a wider extended swath and requires wider buffers than a water-base application.

Control of Drop Size w/o Emulsions. Although the control of the drift of herbicide sprays was the initial reason for renewed interest in water-in-oil emulsion sprays, there are other interesting and novel ways of applying pesticides. The physical properties of w/o emulsions are considerably different from those of more conventional types of spray liquids, and the emulsifiers required to form and stabilize w/o emulsions are different from the usual materials employed in oil-in-water and wettable powder sprays. These differences can affect all aspects of spray performance, and a thorough study is required to appreciate the advantages and disadvantages which w/o emulsions may possess over aqueous-based sprays. 

Pan and food release agents. Lecithin-based release agents are employed in many applications such as frozen waffle manufacture, bakery products, pizza baking, and pasta products. Most industrial griddle frying fats are formulated with lecithin, solely for its release functionalities (7). The products may be spray- or brush-applied to achieve a thin film capable of promoting easy release of baked items from pans and belts. Bakery release agents may contain 2-6% lecithin in a variety of oil bases, and they may also be formulated with particulate matter to provide an additional mechanical release.

Whether or not the oil is degummed, it is typically pumped to an oil dryer. The oil dryer is a vertical cylindrical vessel that is commonly operated at 50-80-mm Hg absolute pressure. The hot oil is sprayed downward into the vessel, with or without trays. The solvent and water vapors exit the top of the oil dryer and the oil exits the bottom. The oil typically exits the base of the oil dryer with 0.05-0.10% moisture and 0.002-0.010% solvent, at a temperature of approximately 105°C. 

Better yields of carbon black are obtained by improved separation of the combustion function from the carbon-forming function, as is accomplished in the newer furnace black processes. This approach enables gas oil (high boiling point liquid petroleum fractions) or natural gas to be used to produce carbon black. The cooling function from 1,400°C to about 200°C is accomplished by direct water sprays. The product is removed from the gas stream via a combination of cyclone collectors and glass or Teflon fiber bag filters. One tonne of furnace black is obtained from 5,300 to 7, OOOm (1 atm 15.6°C) of natural gas, or 1,400-2,800 L of gas oil corresponding to 50-70% yields. Oil-based furnace black now supplies about 90% of the current carbon black market, although the special features of the product from small-scale processors still contribute some product [4]. 

Dairy and livestock sprays were usually oil-based at 0.10% pyrethrins and 1.00% PBO, and are typically applied as a fog or fine mist, using about 2 o i of spray per IOOO ft (203 ml/iOO m ) of space. Microemulsion aqueous sprays are now preferred.
