The invention relates to solid formulations comprising: a) liquid or low melting point polyalkoxylate; and b) a carrier based on relatively high molecular weight sulfonate, wherein (i) the proportion of liquid or low melting point polyalkoxylate, based on the total weight of the solid formulation, is at least 15% by weight; (ii) the proportion of liquid or low melting point polyalkoxylate, based on the total weight of the relatively high molecular weight sulfonates, is at least 30% by weight; (iii) the weight ratio of liquid or low melting point polyalkoxylate to relatively high molecular weight sulfonate is at most 3:1. The invention also relates to their use, in particular in the area of plant protection, and processes for the preparation of such formulations.
