Description

Potassium (2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)Acetate is the potassium salt of the widely used herbicide 2,4-D. This compound serves as a key technical-grade intermediate and a stable, water-soluble formulation for agricultural applications. It is essential for manufacturers and formulators in the agrochemical industry seeking a reliable and consistent active ingredient source. Its primary value lies in enabling the production of effective broadleaf weed control products for crop protection and non-crop areas.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: Primary use as a technical material for synthesizing various ester and amine formulations of the 2,4-D herbicide.
• Herbicide Formulation: Direct incorporation into soluble concentrate (SL) and liquid fertilizer herbicide blends for ease of application.
• Broadleaf Weed Control: Effective against a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, grasslands, and turf.
• Industrial Vegetation Management: Used in forestry, roadside, and utility right-of-way maintenance programs.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard and precursor in agricultural chemical research for developing new formulations.
• Manufacturing of Derivatives: Key starting material for producing other phenoxy herbicide salts and derivatives.

Quality Control

Our technical-grade Potassium (2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)Acetate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, moisture content, and related substance levels is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and performance for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
