Description

Piperonyl Butoxide CAS NO 51-03-6 is a synthetic organic compound widely recognized as a synergist for pyrethroid and carbamate insecticides. Its primary value lies in its ability to inhibit insect metabolic enzymes, thereby significantly enhancing the potency and effectiveness of insecticidal formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the agricultural, public health, and household pest control sectors seeking to develop more efficient and cost-effective insecticide products.

Application

• Synergist in agricultural insecticides for crops like cotton, fruits, and vegetables.
• Key component in public health formulations for mosquito and vector control programs.
• Used in household insecticide products such as sprays, coils, and vaporizers.
• Incorporated into animal health products for ectoparasite control (e.g., pet shampoos, sprays).
• Applied in stored grain protectants to prevent insect infestation.
• Utilized in certain wood preservative treatments.
• An important reagent in biochemical research studying cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibition.
