Description

Oxadiazon Acid is a key organic intermediate and the active acid form of the selective herbicide Oxadiazon. This compound is essential for the synthesis and formulation of high-performance pre-emergence herbicides used in professional agriculture. It is primarily utilized by agrochemical manufacturers and research institutions developing solutions for broadleaf and grassy weed control in crops such as rice, turf, and ornamentals. Consistent quality and reliable supply of this intermediate are critical for ensuring the efficacy and stability of the final formulated products.

Application

• Agrochemical Synthesis: Primary use as a crucial precursor in the manufacturing of the herbicide Oxadiazon.
• Herbicide Formulation: Direct incorporation into various commercial herbicide formulations (e.g., wettable powders, granules) for agricultural use.
• Crop Protection: Used in products targeting weed control in rice paddies, turfgrass, lawns, and ornamental plantings.
• Chemical Research: Serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis for developing novel heterocyclic compounds.
• Stand-Alone Herbicide: Potential for use as a technical-grade active ingredient in specialized weed management systems.

Quality Control

Our Oxadiazon Acid is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through multiple analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy to confirm identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
