Description

ζ-Cypermethrin is a potent synthetic pyrethroid insecticide known for its broad-spectrum activity and enhanced photostability. This compound is critical for effective pest management programs, offering reliable control with a favorable environmental profile compared to some older chemistries. It is primarily required by manufacturers of agricultural and public health insecticide formulations targeting a wide range of insect pests.

Application

• Agricultural Insecticides: Formulated for the control of lepidopteran, coleopteran, and other pests in crops such as cotton, corn, soybeans, fruits, and vegetables.
• Public Health Products: Used in the manufacture of sprays, coils, and other products for mosquito and fly control to combat vector-borne diseases.
• Animal Health: Incorporated into ectoparasiticide products for livestock and pets to control ticks, lice, and fleas.
• Stored Product Protection: Applied in post-harvest scenarios to protect grains and other commodities from insect infestation during storage.
• Termite Control: Used in soil treatment and wood preservation formulations for structural pest management.
• Professional Pest Control: A key active ingredient in products used by licensed professionals for commercial and residential pest extermination services.

Quality Control

Our ζ-Cypermethrin is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and isomer ratio, GC for residual solvents, and identification by IR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize contact with air.
