Isopyrazam TC

Description

1. Product Overview
Isopyrazam TC is a high-purity, broad-spectrum succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide technical material, designed exclusively for formulated product manufacturing. Its primary industrial application is as the core active ingredient in crop protection products targeting septoria leaf blotch, rusts, and powdery mildew in cereal grains and specialty crops. The key value proposition lies in its extended residual activity and xylem-mobile distribution, which deliver superior disease control with fewer applications. Strategically, Isopyrazam TC is critical for agrochemical formulators seeking to differentiate in the $60B+ fungicide market through enhanced yield stability and resistance management programs.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Isopyrazam (mixture of two cis-isomers in approximately 1:1 ratio); IUPAC: 3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-N-[1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl]pyrazole-4-carboxamide

• Purity level: ≥ 97% TC grade (min. 96.5% typical)

• Physical characteristics: Off-white to light beige crystalline powder; characteristic odor

• Particle size: 90% through 45 µm mesh (typical)

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

• Melting point: 127–131°C

• Packaging options: 25 kg net multi-wall kraft paper bags with PE liner; 500 kg FIBCs; 1000 kg bulk bags

• 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 (crop protection manufacturers); seed treatment producers; adjuvant blenders

• Operational use cases:

  • Cereal fungicide formulations (wheat, barley): control of Zymoseptoria tritici, Puccinia spp.

  • Specialty crop protection (bananas, cucurbits, grapes) – powdery mildew & leaf spot complexes

  • Combined with triazoles or strobilurins in pre-mix formulations for resistance management

• Performance advantages vs. alternatives:

  • Longer residual period (21–28 days protection vs. 14 days for epoxiconazole) — reduces field spray cycles

  • Xylem-mobile systemic action — protects new growth after application

  • Higher binding affinity to SDHI target site — effective at lower use rates (75–125 g ai/ha vs. 200+ g for boscalid)

  • Superior rainfastness (1 hour drying time vs. 2–4 hours for competitor SDHIs)

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch purity deviation <0.5% (certified by ISO 17025 lab); each lot tested for residual solvents and related substances per CIPAC methods

• Supply reliability: Multi-site manufacturing footprint with 2,000 MT annual dedicated capacity; 98% on-time-in-full (OTIF) track record over 18 consecutive quarters

• Logistics capability: Pre-shipped under nitrogen purge in moisture-barrier packaging; warehouse hubs in Rotterdam, Houston, and Shanghai for 5-day regional dispatch

• Price competitiveness: FOB pricing at 8–12% below European reference grade, enabled by continuous-flow process chemistry (Capex-optimized)

• Sustainability: Manufacturing waste solvent recovery rate >90%; REACH-compliant dossier available; non-CMR classification

• Technical support: Full formulation guidance (co-formulant compatibility matrix, stability study templates); regulatory dossier access for 25+ jurisdictions upon NDA

5. Commercial & Supply Information
