Hexaconazole TC

Description

1. Product Overview

Hexaconazole TC is a high-purity systemic triazole fungicide technical concentrate, designed for the formulation of broad-spectrum crop protection products. It is primarily used in industrial formulation processes to manufacture emulsifiable concentrates, suspensions, and wettable powders that control Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes pathogens in high-value fruit, cereal, and vegetable crops. The key value proposition lies in its exceptional eradicant and preventive activity against rusts and powdery mildew, combined with a favorable environmental profile and long residual control. Strategically, Hexaconazole TC is critical for agrochemical manufacturers seeking to optimize resistance management programs and replace older, less efficient chemistries in global cereal and horticulture markets.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Hexaconazole (RS)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)hexan-2-ol; CAS No. 79983-71-4

• Purity Grade: ≥ 95% min. Technical Grade (TC) – validated via HPLC

• Physical Form: White to off-white crystalline powder

• Particle Size: 98% passing through 44 µm (325 mesh) for consistent formulation blending

• Bulk Density: 0.45 – 0.65 g/cm³ (untapped)

• Melting Point: 108 – 113°C

• Moisture Content: ≤ 0.5%

• Packaging Options: 25 kg net kraft paper bags with PE liner; 200 kg net fiber drums; 500 kg net FIBC bulk bags; custom IBC tote configurations available

• Shelf Life: 36 months from date of manufacture when stored in original unopened containers under dry, ambient conditions (≤ 30°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Industries: Large-scale agrochemical formulation, contract manufacturing for crop protection brands, resistance management programs for integrated pest management (IPM)

• Specific Use Cases:

  • Formulation of EC (emulsifiable concentrate) and SC (suspension concentrate) products for pome fruit (apples, pears) to control apple scab and powdery mildew

  • Cereal crop programs (wheat, barley, rice) targeting rust species (Puccinia spp.) and Rhizoctonia sheath blight

  • Coffee and banana plantations for leaf rust and Sigatoka disease control

• Performance Advantages: Exhibits superior translaminar and acropetal movement compared to contact fungicides, enabling protection of new growth. Its 14–21 day residual activity reduces spray frequency by 30-40% vs. sulfur-based alternatives. Cost per hectare of formulated end-product is 15-25% lower than leading triazole analogs due to optimized raw material synthesis.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: ISO 9001:2015 certified production with batch-to-batch HPLC traceability; each CoA includes 5 heavy metal and 3 residual solvent tests

• Supply Reliability: Redundant manufacturing lines in two geographies (Asia-Pacific) with 5,000 MT annual capacity; safety stock buffer of 30 days minimum

• Logistics Capability: Dangerous goods certified packaging (UN3077, Class 9) with door-to-door door-to-port visibility; pre-shipment samples available for third-party lab validation

• Price Competitiveness: Direct-from-manufacturer pricing removes distributor mark-ups; volume escalation discounts trigger at 40 MT+/month

• Sustainability: Synthesis process achieves 92% atom economy; zero liquid discharge (ZLD) facility; compliant with EU REACH and FAO specifications without endocrine-disrupting impurities (validated via OECD TG 455)

• Technical Support: Free formulation technical data sheets (TDS), tank-mix compatibility matrices, and stability testing documentation; dedicated formulation chemist for scale-up troubleshooting
