Description

(E,Z)-2,13-Octadecadienyl Acetate is a high-purity, synthetic insect pheromone component, also known as a lepidopteran sex attractant. This compound is critical for integrated pest management (IPM) programs, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to broad-spectrum chemical pesticides. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the agrochemical and specialty chemical sectors for formulating targeted insect control products.

Application

• Primary Use in Pheromone Lures and Traps: As a key component in monitoring and mass-trapping systems for specific moth pests in agriculture and forestry.
• Mating Disruption Formulations: Incorporated into dispensers, sprays, or aerosols to disrupt insect mating cycles and control pest populations.
• Agrochemical Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in the development of novel bio-rational pest control solutions.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Used as a chiral building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules for research purposes.
