Description

Kinoprene is a synthetic insect growth regulator (IGR) belonging to the juvenile hormone analog class, with the CAS registry number 42588-37-4. This compound is valued for its targeted action, disrupting the normal development and reproduction of specific insect pests while minimizing impact on non-target organisms. It is primarily utilized by the agricultural, horticultural, and professional pest management industries for integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Used in the management of sucking insects such as whiteflies, aphids, and scale insects on various crops including cotton, vegetables, and ornamentals.
• Greenhouse and Nursery Management: Applied as part of IPM strategies to control pest populations in enclosed growing environments.
• Public Health Pest Management: Employed in programs targeting mosquitoes and other public health nuisance insects by inhibiting larval development.
• Stored Product Protection: Helps protect grains and other stored commodities from infestation by stored product pests.
• Professional Turf and Ornamental Care: Used by landscape professionals to manage pests on lawns, golf courses, and in landscape plantings.
• Formulation Intermediate: Serves as a key active ingredient in the manufacture of various insecticidal formulations such as emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and wettable powders (WP).

Quality Control

Our Kinoprene is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and efficacy. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical tests including assay by HPLC, identification by IR spectroscopy, and control of key impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results 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 temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
