Description

Cyhalothrin is a potent synthetic pyrethroid insecticide known for its broad-spectrum activity and photostability. This compound is critical for effective pest management programs, offering high efficacy at low application rates. It is primarily required by the agricultural, public health, and professional pest control industries for protecting crops, livestock, and human environments from a wide range of insect pests.

Application

• Agricultural Crop Protection: Used as a key active ingredient in formulations to control chewing and sucking insects such as aphids, caterpillars, and beetles on cotton, cereals, fruits, and vegetables.
• Public Health Vector Control: Employed in mosquito control programs to combat malaria, dengue, and other vector-borne diseases, often in indoor residual spraying (IRS) and treated bed nets.
• Professional Pest Management (PMP): Formulated for use by licensed professionals to control ants, cockroaches, termites, and other structural pests in commercial and residential settings.
• Animal Health: Incorporated into ectoparasiticide products for livestock to control ticks, lice, and flies, improving animal welfare and productivity.
• Stored Product Protection: Applied to protect grains and other stored commodities from infestation by beetles, moths, and weevils.
• Forestry and Wood Preservation: Used to protect timber and young trees from damage by bark beetles and other wood-boring insects.

Quality Control

Our Cyhalothrin is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC, GC, and NMR. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer ratio, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your regulatory and formulation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to light, heat, or air should be avoided to maintain stability and efficacy. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
