Description

(Z,Z)-Tetradeca-9,11-Dienyl Acetate is a high-purity, synthetic pheromone compound with a defined geometric isomerism, crucial for its biological activity. This compound serves as a key active ingredient in advanced, species-specific insect pest management systems, offering an eco-friendly alternative to broad-spectrum chemical pesticides. It is primarily required by manufacturers of agricultural biopesticides, researchers in entomology and chemical ecology, and producers of insect monitoring and mass trapping devices for integrated pest management (IPM) programs globally.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Core active component in mating disruption dispensers and lures for lepidopteran pests, such as certain moth species in cotton, fruit, and vegetable crops.
• Insect Monitoring & Trapping: Formulated into long-lasting lures for pheromone traps used to monitor pest population dynamics and flight periods, enabling precise timing of control measures.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard reference material in entomological research, behavioral studies, and the development of new semiochemical-based pest control products.
• Mass Trapping Systems: Incorporated into high-capacity traps as an attractant for area-wide suppression or eradication programs against specific insect pests.
• Formulation of Attract-and-Kill Products: Blended with insecticides or biopesticides in specialized formulations that attract target insects to a point source containing the toxicant.

Quality Control

Our (Z,Z)-Tetradeca-9,11-Dienyl Acetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high isomeric purity, which is critical for biological efficacy. Every lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomeric composition, and identity. We support compliance with global agricultural chemical regulations, and specifications can be tailored to meet the requirements of your specific formulation or registration dossier.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. For short-term use, storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. The compound is sensitive to oxidation; containers should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere after opening.
