Trifloxystrobin TC

Description

1. Product Overview

Trifloxystrobin TC is a high-purity, broad-spectrum strobilurin fungicide technical concentrate, designed for the formulation of advanced crop protection products. Its primary industrial application lies in the large-scale manufacturing of suspension concentrates (SC), water-dispersible granules (WG), and emulsifiable concentrates (EC) for row crops, horticulture, and specialty agriculture. The key value proposition is its exceptional rainfastness, long residual activity, and synergistic performance when co-formulated with triazoles or other fungicides. Strategically, it is critical for resistance management programs, addressing the global market need for sustainable solutions against Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Deuteromycetes pathogens.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Trifloxystrobin (IUPAC: methyl (E)-methoxyimino-{(E)-α-[1-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)ethylideneaminooxy]-o-tolyl}acetate); CAS# 141517-21-7

• Purity Grade: ≥ 97.0% TC (Technical Concentrate) – min. 96.5% typical lot average

• Physical Form: Off-white to light beige crystalline powder

• Particle Size: 98% passing through 45 µm (325 mesh) for optimal suspension stability

• Bulk Density: Tapped: 0.45–0.65 g/cm³; Loose: 0.30–0.50 g/cm³

• Melting Point: 72.9–75.2 °C

• Moisture Content: ≤ 0.5%

• Acidity (as H₂SO₄): ≤ 0.3%

• Packaging Options: 25 kg net multi-walled kraft paper bags with PE liner; 500 kg and 1000 kg bulk FIBCs (super sacks) with anti-static and moisture barrier

• Shelf Life: 24 months from date of manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging in dry, temperature-controlled conditions (≤ 30 °C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Industries: Large-scale agrochemical formulators, crop protection chemical manufacturers, contract blending houses serving cereals (wheat, barley), soybeans, corn, coffee, bananas, grapes, and potatoes.

• Operational Use Cases:

  • Formulation of pre-mix fungicides for Septoria tritici, powdery mildew, and rust in cereals.

  • Co-formulation with tebuconazole, propiconazole, or cyproconazole for synergistic resistance management.

  • Production of low-dust WG formulations for aerial application in high-humidity tropical zones.

• Performance Advantages: Trifloxystrobin outperforms older strobilurins (e.g., azoxystrobin) in rainfastness (1 hour post-application) and translaminar movement. It provides 2–4 weeks residual control, reducing total spray cycles per season. The TC’s narrow particle size distribution ensures superior suspension in tank-mix, eliminating nozzle clogging—a critical efficiency gain for large-scale contract applicators.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: Batch-to-batch purity variation ≤ 0.3%; 100% QC-released with COA from ISO 17025-accredited lab. Impurity profile meets EU and Brazil MAPA regulatory thresholds.

• Supply Reliability: Dedicated production line with 1,200 MT annual capacity; safety stock of 200 MT held in climate-controlled regional hubs (Rotterdam, Houston, Shanghai).

• Logistics Capability: Pre-cleaned, food-grade containers with desiccant liners; door-to-door trackable shipping with expedited customs documentation (MSDS, GHS labels, phytosanitary declarations).

• Price Competitiveness: Tiered pricing with volume discounts >20 MT; lock-in contracts for 12 months available against Agrow index benchmarks.

• Sustainability & Compliance: Manufactured under ISO 14001:2015 certified processes; 30% lower solvent waste in synthesis compared to legacy methods. Full REACH, FIFRA, and China MEE registration support provided.

• Technical Support: Formulation development assistance (SC, WG, EC), tank-mix compatibility testing, and residue analysis via shared lab access.
