Description

2,4-D 2-Ethylhexyl Ester is a synthetic auxin herbicide formulated as an ester derivative of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. This specific esterification enhances the compound's lipophilicity, improving its absorption and systemic action in target broadleaf weeds. It is a critical active ingredient for professional agricultural and non-crop vegetation management, offering effective control against a wide spectrum of invasive plants. Industrial buyers in the agrochemical sector rely on this high-purity intermediate for the formulation of potent, selective herbicide products.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulation: Primary use as a key active ingredient in post-emergence herbicide formulations for cereals, corn, sorghum, and turf.
• Non-Crop Vegetation Management: Control of broadleaf weeds in industrial sites, railways, utilities rights-of-way, and fence lines.
• Aquatic Weed Control: Used in managed aquatic systems for controlling floating and emergent weed species (subject to local regulatory approvals).
• Forestry Management: Application in silviculture for site preparation and release treatments to suppress competing vegetation.
• Pasture and Rangeland Improvement: Management of noxious and invasive broadleaf weeds to improve forage quality and grassland productivity.
• Pre-Planting Applications: Used in no-till and conservation tillage systems to manage weeds prior to crop establishment.

Quality Control

Our 2,4-D 2-Ethylhexyl Ester is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Every lot is analyzed against stringent in-house specifications using advanced analytical techniques such as GC and HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical properties is provided with each shipment to support your formulation and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product integrity.
