Aqueous imidacloprid suspension concentrate formulation

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers one supplied product: a nominal 600 g/L imidacloprid aqueous suspension concentrate (SC), made from acquired technical imidacloprid powder and the specific supplied additives below, at a formulation facility. High-speed wet shearing, sand milling, final thickening/antifoam adjustment, quality acceptance and actual filling/delivery form the foreground. The bounded architecture is Example 2 and paragraph [0006] of sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015. Each dataset represents one actual product, route and accepted supplied state, never all insecticides as a mixed reference flow.

Exclude active-ingredient chemical synthesis, upstream JM polymerisation, onsite hydrogel synthesis/preparation, oil dispersions, emulsifiable/soluble concentrates, granules, seed-treatment FS, insecticide combinations and treated articles. Exclude distribution after the formulation gate, tank dilution, spray water, application energy, efficacy, pest-control area, residues, field emissions and final-use packaging disposal. These need separate downstream models; no use rate or emission fraction is assumed.

UNSD CPC 3.0 identifies 34661 as Insecticides and separately lists 34666 and 34669; the published explanatory entries contain no further text. WCO HS 2022 Chapter 38 Subheading Notes 1 and 2 specify substances for 3808.52/.59 and 3808.61-.69; imidacloprid is not listed. A sole-imidacloprid insecticidal preparation is therefore a candidate for 34661, subject to its actual complete composition and classification review, not to the word hazardous on an SDS. Products containing a listed substance, other uses, or other preparations require reassessment. This PCR does not establish a positive mapping.

The patent is a laboratory formulation disclosure, not a current factory survey or a guaranteed commercial recipe. Its gram amounts, nominal 47% active content and 600 g/L designation do not establish measured density, yield, input intensity or efficacy for another product. FAO 582/SC (2013) independently describes fine technical imidacloprid in an aqueous phase with formulants; its manufacturer/equivalence scope and disclaimer are retained. It supplies physical-state context only, not automatic FAO compliance for this patent product. Changqing-imidacloprid-sc-2014 describes a different 350 g/L calixarene route and does not supply this recipe.

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Manufacture and supply of the declared aqueous imidacloprid SC
How much	1 kg net accepted supplied wet formulation
How well	Documented batch release against the actual registered/product specification: active identity and assay, homogeneity, particle distribution, suspension stability, viscosity, pH and relevant impurities; no claim of pest-control equivalence
How long or cycle	One matched manufacturing/acceptance period; storage stability is declared product quality, not a treatment lifetime
reference_flow_link	finished_sc

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Pesticide 23a65bba-3eb5-406c-ad26-6841bd151f9c
Reference flow property	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66
Reference unit group	Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66
Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	sole active imidacloprid CAS 138261-41-3; aqueous SC; nominal 600 g/L and measured g/kg; measured density with temperature and method; complete as-supplied ingredient identities and assay/water/solvent/carrier; JM solution supply state; purchased hydrogel solids; release tests; manufacturer/site/country; SKU and batch; reporting period and accepted-output cohort; packaging components and net/gross mass; upstream provider geography/technology; native generic identity limits and classification debt

The native reference record is deliberately generic; it permits a substance or mixture used against pests and has no fixed grade, CAS, formulation, route or supply geography. It does not make the reference an aggregate: this PCR binds it to one qualified wet SC. The native 35499 classification is inconsistent with the specific insecticidal preparation context and remains disclosed debt. The record carries only Mass, reference internal ID 0 and meanValue 1. The verified mass property points to the mass unit group and its reference unit kg. No value is a formulation-density conversion. Missing any required product qualifier makes a dataset incomplete.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_mass	reference product	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Use accepted net wet formulation mass, excluding all packaging. All inventory rows use per 1 kg reference flow and the same positive accepted output cohort measured by cp_acceptance.
active_carrier_basis	technical powder and formulation	Mass and actual assay	kg	Keep whole technical/formulation mass distinct from active mass and water/solvent/carrier subledgers. For concentration in g/L use independently measured density at matching temperature to obtain g/kg; never assume 1 L equals 1 kg or infer density from a patent designation.
raw_units	all inventory rows	Original meter property	original units	Convert raw units before division by accepted mass. Integrate a measured rate over duration only once; an already integrated volume or meter total receives no extra time factor. Electricity kWh remains kWh unless an explicit documented conversion is requested.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Acquired technical imidacloprid powder and whole supplied additives, water, electricity and actual packaging at formulation site
starting_condition_role	Foreground is formulation, wet milling and delivery preparation; upstream active and additive manufacture are linked datasets
product_classification_scope	The specific insecticidal aqueous preparation, not every pesticide or active substance; complete composition checked against HS Chapter 38 notes
recursive_input_rule	External acquired SC or returned sold formulation is a distinct whole input with prior burdens and acceptance history; never recursively create the reference output or double count internally returned slurry
upstream_dataset_requirement	Match the actual supplied technical grade, complete JM/hydrogel/antifoam and other inputs to independent providers; generic native reference is neither a provider nor a production mix for the site
disclosure	Declare actual formulation, outsourced operations, site/geography, utility and waste-treatment boundaries, packaging, allocation, gaps and source applicability; patent applicant location is not dataset geography

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_route	formulation	Include receipt/issue, preblend, technical charging, high-shear dispersion, sand milling, post-mill thickening, all attributable auxiliaries, cleaning, QC and actual filling; preserve independent stage records. No active synthesis or JM polymerisation is moved into this plant.	sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015
boundary_use	supply and downstream	Count the complete supplied wet formulation and actual packaging manufacture/filling burden to gate; keep field dilution/application and post-use packaging disposal in separate downstream models.	sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015
boundary_composition	whole supplied inputs	Inventory complete acquired wet additives once. Measure constituent subledgers without creating extra purchases of their polymer, active, solvent or water. Add a separate atomic exchange for every real additional ingredient/utility/waste/species; absence requires evidence, not a blank amount.	sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015

Pesticide (finished_sc)

One qualified output: the selected 600 g/L nominal imidacloprid aqueous suspension concentrate, not a portfolio of pesticides. Native Product flow name Pesticide / 农药 describes a pest-control substance or mixture, chemical or biological; no CAS, concentration, formulation, treatment route, grade, mix/location component or locationOfSupply is specified. Its native classification 35499 is a disclosed classification debt, not evidence for 34661 or a residual-identity exclusion. Its only flow property is reference Mass with meanValue 1; this is not density. This broad identity supplies no recipe, supplier, geography, efficacy or background intensity; retain all specific qualifiers and select actual upstream providers independently.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_single_product	sc_formulation	One accepted supplied SC is the sole useful output; waste, samples and internal rework are not co-products. Assign the complete attributable campaign burden, including failed/zero-output operation, to that product cohort; do not credit avoided pesticide, wastewater or packaging production.	sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015
allocation_shared	shared utilities and cleaning	Prefer dedicated meters and batch/stage submetering. For genuinely shared service, document a measured causal driver and partition each raw burden once across products and closing WIP; retain totals and allocation evidence. Unresolved allocation stays a data gap, never an unreported zero.

Weigh outgoing streams and assay relevant constituents; trace each to one receiver and actual treatment boundary. External wastewater is a waste exchange; do not also invent an elementary discharge of its entire content at this gate. If onsite treatment occurs, add its actual separate inputs and species outlets with independent evidence. Retain unnormalized period records and the compatible attributable raw numerator without division, with cohort and WIP burden transfers documented.

Quantify actual releases at the declared final boundary by matched sampling/metering. A concentration times integrated gas volume is already a period mass; rate times duration is integrated only once. Report below-detection and unmeasured quantities explicitly. Add an atomic row for each other actual solvent/species, never infer speciation from COD or a balance residual.

Close a physical mass/element ledger separately from a burden ledger. Carry opening WIP mass and all embodied burdens into the matching accepted cohort; retain closing WIP and burdens for the next period. Account for zero-output runs, abandoned batches and external returned products without dropping their burdens or accepting their mass twice.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
normalize_period	all inventory rows	Convert raw quantities to their declared numerator units, retain complete actual period burdens including failures and opening WIP, remove only documented burdens carried into closing WIP or transferred to another cohort, and divide the matched accepted-cohort burden by unique positive Q once. Finished SC is 1 kg. Zero Q permits no ratio; retain and carry or explicitly dispose the complete burdens.	raw_period_quantity; opening_burden; closing_burden; transfer_ledger; Q; cp_acceptance; cp_balance	exchange amount per 1 kg reference flow
composition_subledgers	technical_imidacloprid; jm_dispersant; sdbs; xanthan_hydrogel; silicone_antifoam; finished_sc	Constituent mass = whole supplied mass × independently measured mass fraction. For assay C in g/L and density rho in kg/L at matching temperature, g/kg = C / rho. Constituent totals reconcile to whole mass but do not add procurement rows.	whole_supplied_mass; measured_fraction; C; rho; cp_materials; cp_acceptance	active/water/solvent/carrier subledgers	sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015
physical_balance	sc_formulation	Reconcile complete physical input + opening WIP = accepted output + measured external waste + independently measured direct releases + closing WIP + documented transfers, with packaging accounted separately. Close relevant elements using actual compositions independently. Mechanical mixing/milling creates no reaction water; phase change and entrained/free water are recorded separately. COD or a closure residual proves neither species nor reaction water. Investigate and disclose residuals without fitting two unknown outlets to one residual.	raw_input_mass; opening_WIP; accepted_mass; waste_mass; measured_species; closing_WIP; composition; cp_balance	separate physical and species reconciliation

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
quality_identity	reference and ingredients	Require actual composition, technical grade, aqueous SC state, nominal and measured concentration, supplier conditions, release criteria, site and country. Broad pesticide identity cannot supply an unstated geography or recipe; disclose native classification debt.	Supplier certificates; actual product specification; signed release; native limitation disclosure
quality_period	all inventory rows	Complete matched raw numerator and unique fresh accepted output are mandatory, including unsuccessful operation, returns/rework, opening/closing WIP and carried burdens. Retain unnormalized originals and uncertainty; no silent exclusion of zero-output runs.	cp_acceptance; cp_balance
quality_sources	method and performance	Patent ingredient identities and unit operations are one case, not an industry average or guaranteed SKU. No formula amounts, efficacy, application rate, emission factor, field release fraction or density are defaults. Verify site/SKU measurements before creating quantitative datasets. FAO scope requires assessed manufacturer/equivalence; this PCR claims no certification.	sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015; fao-imidacloprid-2013
quality_completeness	optional rows and emissions	Demonstrate non-applicability of each absent physical exchange. Every additional real material, fuel, refrigerant, cleaning chemical, package, waste and emitted species needs a separate atomic row with records and provider/medium. Unknown is disclosed, never encoded as measured zero.	cp_materials; cp_power; cp_water; cp_packaging; cp_waste; cp_air

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
validate_identity	reference product	Reject aggregate insecticide output, a pure-active kilogram as a wet-SC kilogram, another physical formulation or nominal concentration, undocumented JM supply composition, missing qualifiers, or unreviewed HS-note substance applicability. Generic UUID availability does not waive actual recipe and provider evidence.	unstats-cpc3-2025; wco-hs38-2022; sinochem-imidacloprid-sc-2015
validate_denominator	all inventory rows	Require Q > 0, unique fresh acceptance IDs, correct net wet mass, matched route/SKU/period, full raw burdens and documented WIP/return/rework transfers. Reject omitted failed/zero-output runs, double normalization, repeated acceptance, extra time factors on integrated volume and density inferred from patent labels.
validate_physical	material and emission reconciliation	Require separate whole-mass/element and actual-species evidence, including all supplied carrier water/solvents and independently quantified water loss. Reject duplicate constituent purchases, COD-derived species, residual-fitted emissions, unsupported reaction water and onsite synthesis added to the formulation route.
validate_coverage	data package	Report performed checks, skipped scopes, limits, providers and unmeasured exchanges. Incomplete actual emission/allocation/composition evidence remains inconclusive; methodological rules and a valid projection alone do not validate a future dataset or approve methodology.

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	Site/SKU-specific foreground formulation dataset
downstream_use	secondary_dataset; background_dataset
allowed_use	Manufacture of the same qualified aqueous SC; background supply to separately modelled pesticide use
excluded_use	Generic all-insecticide mix; active synthesis inventory; efficacy comparison; kg-active substitution without assay; field emissions or regulatory approval
required_metadata	Actual formulation and complete supplied-input states; nominal/measured concentration and density; site/country/provider; SKU/period/cohort; packaging and net mass; WIP and burden transfer ledger; treatment and allocation boundaries; protocol owners; native identity limits/classification debt
required_quality_disclosure	Raw-period completeness; failed runs; uncertainty; unmeasured species; missing auxiliary UUID/provider matches; patent/FAO applicability limits and actual release evidence
update_trigger	Change in active/grade, formulation type/concentration, JM/other supplied additive, solvent/carrier, milling route, hydrogel make/buy state, packaging, site/provider, release specification or waste treatment
