Description

(E,Z)-8,10-Dodecadienyl Acetate is a high-purity pheromone compound, also known as Codlemone, which is critical for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. This compound serves as a highly effective and species-specific attractant for disrupting the mating cycles of key agricultural pests. It is an essential tool for professionals in the agrochemical, specialty chemical, and research sectors seeking environmentally responsible crop protection solutions.

Application

• Primary Use in Agriculture: As the major sex pheromone component of the Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella), it is the active ingredient in mating disruption dispensers, lures, and traps for orchard pest control.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Enables targeted, non-toxic population monitoring and suppression in apple, pear, and walnut orchards, reducing reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides.
• Pheromone Formulation: Used by formulators to create controlled-release products, including polymeric fibers, membrane dispensers, and sprayable micro-encapsulated formulations.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in the synthesis and study of lepidopteran pheromones for academic and industrial R&D.
• Mass Trapping Programs: Deployed in large-scale agricultural and stored-product protection programs to capture male moths and assess infestation levels.

Quality Control

Our (E,Z)-8,10-Dodecadienyl Acetate is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure high isomeric purity and batch-to-batch consistency, which is critical for field efficacy. Each lot is analyzed via GC and/or HPLC to confirm identity, purity, and the precise (E,Z) isomeric 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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C (refrigerated) to minimize oxidation and volatilization. For long-term stability, storage at -20°C is recommended. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
