Flubendiamide TC

Description

1. Product Overview

Flubendiamide TC is a high-purity anthranilic diamide insecticide technical concentrate, engineered for the synthesis of next-generation ryanodine receptor modulator formulations. Its primary industrial use is as the core active ingredient in broad-spectrum lepidoptera pest control solutions for high-value row crops, fruits, and vegetables. The key value proposition is exceptional, cross-spectrum efficacy at low application rates, combined with a favorable environmental and mammalian toxicology profile. Strategically, Flubendiamide TC is critical for agrochemical formulators seeking to replace organophosphates and pyrethroids in resistance management programs, capturing premium market share in sustainable crop protection.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Flubendiamide (IUPAC: N2-[1,1-dimethyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-3-iodo-N1-[2-methyl-4-[1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]phenyl]-1,2-benzenedicarboxamide) – minimum 96.0% w/w TC grade.

• Purity level: ≥ 96.0% (HPLC validated); typical batch purity 97.2–98.5%.

• Physical characteristics: Off-white to light beige free-flowing powder; particle size D90 ≤ 10 µm (micronized for formulation efficiency); bulk density 0.50–0.65 g/cm³; melting point 217–221°C.

• Packaging options: 25 kg net multi-wall kraft bags with PE liner, 500 kg bulk FIBCs, or 20 kg fibre drums – all with desiccant and UV barrier.

• Shelf life: 36 months when stored in original unopened packaging under dry, ambient conditions (below 35°C).

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Agrochemical formulation (SC, WG, WG+EC co-formulations); contract manufacturing for crop protection majors; export-oriented distributors serving cotton, soybean, maize, rice, and vegetable belts.

• Specific use cases: Control of Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm), Helicoverpa armigera, Plutella xylostella, Chilo suppressalis, and Anthonomus grandis (boll weevil) with residual activity of 14–21 days.

• Performance superiority: Unlike diamides such as Chlorantraniliprole, Flubendiamide exhibits faster feeding cessation (<2 hours post-ingestion) and stronger translaminar movement, reducing reapplication frequency by 25–30% under high pressure. Its unique sulfonylalkyl group confers lower cross-resistance to established diamide-resistant populations.

• Cost advantage: Lower active ingredient use (3–5 g AI/ha vs. 15–25 g AI/ha for older chemistries) directly reduces formulation cost per hectare and shipping volume.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001:2025-certified production with SGS/Intertek batch testing; each COA includes residual solvents (≤ 0.5% total) and impurity profile (max 4 related substances each <0.3%).

• Supply reliability: 2,400 MT annual dedicated capacity with 7-day lead time for contract releases; buffer stock held in Rotterdam, Houston, and Shanghai warehouses.

• Logistics capability: UN3077 Class 9 hazardous cargo compliance; DG-certified packaging with full MSDS and TDS in 12 languages; door-to-door multimodal tracking.

• Price competitiveness: Direct from manufacturer at cost-plus basis, with volume-based tiered pricing (2–6% below market benchmark for >50 MT contracts).

• Sustainability & regulatory: REACH-compliant (EU no. 1107/2009), listed under EPA Pesticide Registration PRN 2024-2. Lower Koc (sorptive potential) reduces groundwater leaching risk vs. fipronil or cypermethrin.

• Technical support: Dedicated formulation development lab support (co-solvent screening, suspensibility optimization) provided free for contracts ≥ 20 MT.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 5 MT for standard packaging (25 kg bags); 1 MT for trial formulation evaluation (subject to credit approval).

• Bulk loading capacity: 20 MT per 20’ dry container (FIBC palletized) – total net weight; pallet layout: 20 pallets × 1 MT each.

• Loading capacity per 20’ standard container (mixed packaging): 16–18 MT depending on drum vs. bag configuration. For 40’ HC container: up to 26 MT (maximum net cargo weight for road transport compliance).
