Description

Diethylammonium 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)Propionate is a salt form of the selective auxin-type herbicide 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid (2,4-DP), formulated with diethylamine to enhance solubility, stability, and foliar absorption. This compound delivers highly effective post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, turf, and non-crop areas while offering improved handling safety over acidic forms. It is widely specified by agrochemical manufacturers, formulation houses, and contract research organizations requiring consistent, high-purity active ingredient for commercial herbicide development and registration dossiers.

Application

• Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis
• Key herbicidal active ingredient in selective post-emergence weed control formulations for wheat, barley, and oats
• Component in turf management products for golf courses and sports fields
• Research standard for plant growth regulator studies and mode-of-action investigations
• Raw material for water-soluble concentrate (SL) and emulsifiable concentrate (EC) agrochemical formulations
• Reference standard in analytical laboratories for HPLC and GC-MS method validation
• Intermediate in the synthesis of chiral herbicides and labeled analogues for metabolic studies

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request. All batches conform to stringent specifications for identity, assay, residual solvents, heavy metals, and related substances — aligned with ISO 9001-certified manufacturing practices and support for REACH registration and FDA pre-submission requirements for agrochemical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at room temperature (15–25°C) in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from strong acids, organic solvents, fluorides, and strong alkalis. Avoid exposure to moisture and prolonged air contact to prevent potential degradation.
