Description

Dimethylammonium 2-(4-Chloro-2-Methylphenoxy)Propionate is a dimethylammonium salt of a phenoxypropionic acid herbicide, representing a key intermediate and formulation component in modern agrochemicals. This compound is valued for its role in enhancing the stability, solubility, and handling characteristics of the active herbicidal acid, facilitating effective crop protection. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the agrochemical industry for the production of selective post-emergence herbicides targeting broadleaf weeds in cereal crops.

Application

• Primary Agrochemical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial salt form in the synthesis and commercial formulation of the herbicide Mecoprop-P (also known as MCPP-P).
• Selective Herbicide Production: Used in manufacturing products for controlling broadleaf weeds like chickweed, clover, and knotweed in lawns, turf, and cereal fields (wheat, barley, oats).
• Formulation Enhancement: Improves the physical properties of the active ingredient, aiding in the production of soluble concentrates (SL), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), and other user-friendly formulations.
• Industrial & Non-Crop Weed Management: Employed in formulations for vegetation control in forestry, industrial sites, and right-of-ways.
• Research & Development: Acts as a standard and starting material in agricultural R&D for developing new herbicidal compounds and studying structure-activity relationships.

Quality Control

Our Dimethylammonium 2-(4-Chloro-2-Methylphenoxy)Propionate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and consistency, meeting the specifications required for agrochemical manufacturing. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, enantiomeric purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
