Description

2,4-D, 2-Ethyl-4-Methylpentyl Ester is a synthetic ester derivative of the widely used phenoxy herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). This formulation is engineered to enhance the lipophilicity and systemic action of the active ingredient, making it a highly effective component in professional-grade herbicide formulations. It is primarily utilized by agrochemical manufacturers and formulators seeking to develop robust, broadleaf weed control solutions for agricultural, turf management, and non-crop industrial vegetation management programs.

Application

• Agricultural Herbicide Formulations: A key active ingredient or intermediate in the production of selective and non-selective herbicides for controlling broadleaf weeds in cereal crops (e.g., wheat, corn, rice).
• Turf and Lawn Care Products: Used in formulations for professional turf management on golf courses, sports fields, and commercial landscapes to manage dandelions, clover, and other invasive weeds.
• Industrial Vegetation Management (IVM): Essential for manufacturing herbicides applied in rights-of-way (railways, highways, power lines), forestry, and other non-crop areas to control unwanted vegetation.
• Pesticide Intermediates: Serves as a crucial chemical intermediate for synthesizing other advanced herbicide compounds and ester variants.
• Aquatic Weed Control: Formulated into products for managing invasive aquatic weeds in lakes, ponds, and irrigation canals, following strict regulatory guidelines.

Quality Control

Our 2,4-D, 2-Ethyl-4-Methylpentyl Ester is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for industrial formulation. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, potency, and purity, with strict limits on key impurities and by-products. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, physical properties, and chromatographic purity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product integrity.
