Description

Coumaphos CAS NO 56-72-4 is an organophosphate compound widely recognized for its potent acaricidal and insecticidal properties. This compound is critical for controlling parasitic infestations that threaten livestock health and agricultural productivity. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the animal health, veterinary pharmaceutical, and agricultural chemical sectors for formulating pest control solutions.

Application

• Veterinary Insecticide Formulations: A key active ingredient in dips, sprays, and pour-on products for controlling ticks, lice, and mites on cattle, sheep, and other livestock.
• Animal Health Products: Used in the manufacture of ear tags, collars, and other sustained-release devices for long-term parasite protection.
• Agricultural Pest Management: Employed in specific scenarios for controlling soil-dwelling insects and mites in non-food crop settings.
• Public Health Programs: Applied in controlled, regulated programs for managing ectoparasites that can affect public health.
• Technical-Grade Intermediate: Serves as a high-purity starting material for synthesizing other specialized organophosphate compounds.
• Research & Development: Used in biochemical and pharmacological research to study acetylcholinesterase inhibition and insecticide resistance mechanisms.
