Description

Z,E-9,11-Tetradecadienyl Acetate is a high-purity pheromone compound, specifically a diene acetate, that serves as a critical active ingredient in advanced insect pest management systems. Its precise stereochemistry is essential for effective biological activity, making it a key component for manufacturers of agricultural and environmental protection products. This compound is primarily utilized by agrochemical companies and research institutions developing targeted, species-specific insect control solutions.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: A primary component in pheromone-based mating disruption dispensers and lures for lepidopteran pests, such as certain moth species, in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
• Insect Monitoring: Used in traps for monitoring pest population dynamics and forecasting infestation levels in crops like cotton, vegetables, and stored grains.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in entomological research for studying insect behavior, olfaction, and developing new biocontrol strategies.
• Formulation of Attractants: Incorporated into specialized formulations for mass trapping and attract-and-kill technologies in forestry and urban pest management.
• Semiochemical Blends: A key constituent in multi-component pheromone blends designed to enhance specificity and efficacy against target insect species.

Quality Control

Our Z,E-9,11-Tetradecadienyl Acetate is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure high isomeric purity and batch-to-batch consistency, which is critical for biological efficacy. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (GC, HPLC) to confirm identity, purity, and the precise Z,E isomer ratio. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents. The container should be kept tightly sealed to prevent volatilization and contamination.
