Fluopyram TC

Description

1. Product Overview
Fluopyram TC is a high-purity, next-generation succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide and nematicide technical concentrate, engineered for the formulation of premium crop protection products. Its primary industrial use lies in manufacturing suspension concentrates (SC), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), and flowable formulations for broad-spectrum disease and nematode management across row crops, vegetables, and perennials. Offering exceptional residual activity, translaminar movement, and a low application rate profile, Fluopyram TC is strategically critical for agrochemical enterprises seeking to differentiate portfolios in a market increasingly resistant to conventional azoles and strobilurins.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Fluopyram; IUPAC: N-{2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridyl]ethyl}-α,α,α-trifluoro-o-toluamide

• Purity Level: ≥ 96% min. (Typical: 97–98% w/w)

• Physical Form: White to off-white crystalline powder

• Particle Size: 95% through 325 mesh (typical for downstream milling efficiency)

• Bulk Density: 0.40–0.60 g/cm³ (loose); 0.65–0.85 g/cm³ (tapped)

• Melting Point: 117.5–120.5 °C

• Packaging Options: 25 kg net multi-wall kraft paper bags with inner PE liner; 200 kg net fibre drums; 1,000 kg net bulk FIBCs (big bags)

• Shelf Life: 36 months from date of manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging under dry, ambient conditions (5–35 °C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Industries: Large-scale agrochemical formulators, contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), and crop protection R&D entities.

• Operational Use Cases:

  • Disease control: Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), powdery mildew, apple scab, and leaf spot diseases in grapes, pome fruit, and vegetables.

  • Nematode suppression: Root-knot, cyst, and lesion nematodes in tomatoes, cucurbits, bananas, and cotton.

• Performance Advantages Over Alternatives:

  • Exhibits strong translaminar and xylem-systemic movement, outperforming contact-only fungicides.

  • Remains highly active against SDHI-resistant strains (cross-resistance management possible when formulated with multi-site inhibitors).

  • Delivers 2–3× longer residual protection than boscalid or boscalid-based premixes, reducing spray intervals.

  • Cost per hectare for formulated end-products is typically 15–20% lower than competing fluopyram-based premium brands due to competitive TC pricing.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: ISO 9001:2015 certified production; each batch validated via HPLC-UV/MS — impurity profile guaranteed below 0.5% each for specified related substances.

• Supply Reliability: Multi-plant manufacturing (Asia-Pacific and Europe) with buffer stock maintained in regional hubs (Rotterdam, Houston, Shanghai). 99.5% on-time dispatch track record.

• Logistics Capability: Pre-qualified for ocean, rail, and hazardous air cargo (UN3077, Class 9) with full MSDS and TDS available in 12 languages.

• Price Competitiveness: Direct-from-manufacturer supply eliminating 2–3 intermediary markups; volume discounts aligned to spot/contract indexes.

• Sustainability & Compliance: REACH-compliant for EU markets; registered under FIFRA (EPA) as a TC source; low bioaccumulation potential; non-PBT classification.

• Technical Support: Formulation lab support (co-formulant compatibility screening, suspensibility testing) available upon confidentiality agreement.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT per shipment (single batch or multi-batch blended)

• Loading Capacity: 20 MT per 20-foot standard dry container (24,000 kg max payload in 20’DV; 20 MT typical net weight — 800 x 25 kg bags or 20 x 1,000 kg FIBCs)
