Description

2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Potassium Salt is the potassium salt form of a synthetic auxin, a plant growth regulator. This compound is valued for its stability and solubility profile, making it a key intermediate in specialized agrochemical and research formulations. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the agrochemical sector for product development and by research institutions conducting studies on plant hormone analogs and herbicide mechanisms.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: Serves as a critical precursor in the synthesis of specialized herbicide and plant growth regulator formulations.
• Research & Development: Used in biochemical and agricultural research to study the effects and mechanisms of synthetic auxins on plant physiology.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the production of other phenoxy herbicide derivatives and related compounds.
• Formulation Component: Incorporated into experimental or proprietary agricultural mixtures requiring a soluble and stable source of the 2,4,5-T active moiety.

Quality Control

Our 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Potassium Salt is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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). 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.
