Description

(E,Z)-11,13-Hexadecadienyl Acetate is a high-purity synthetic pheromone compound, a key component in advanced insect mating disruption strategies. Its precise stereochemistry is critical for biological activity, making it an essential tool for integrated pest management (IPM) programs. This compound is primarily utilized by manufacturers of agricultural pheromone formulations and researchers in the agrochemical and entomology sectors.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Core active ingredient in mating disruption dispensers and lures for lepidopteran pests.
• Pheromone Formulation: Used in the production of specialized slow-release formulations for crop protection.
• Entomological Research: Serves as a standard reference material for behavioral studies and pheromone receptor research.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A critical component in environmentally sustainable pest control strategies to reduce conventional insecticide use.
• Manufacturing of Monitoring Traps: Incorporated into traps for pest population monitoring and threshold detection.

Quality Control

Our (E,Z)-11,13-Hexadecadienyl Acetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high isomeric purity and chemical identity, critical for its efficacy in pheromone applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer ratio, and chromatographic profiles are 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 to minimize oxidation and degradation. For long-term stability, keep the material in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
