2,4-D Amine

Description

1. Product Overview

2,4-D Amine is a high-concentration, systemic phenoxy herbicide formulated as a water-soluble amine salt, designed for selective post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in cereal, corn, rice, sugarcane, and pasture systems. Its primary industrial use lies in large-scale row crop farming and turf management, where rapid absorption and translocation disrupt targeted weed growth without damaging monocotyledonous crops. The key value proposition is exceptional cost-efficiency per hectare combined with proven field reliability for over 70 years. Strategically, 2,4-D Amine remains indispensable for global food security as a foundational tool in resistance management programs, particularly when integrated with glyphosate or dicamba-based regimens.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dimethylamine salt (DMA) – typically 600 g/L or 720 g/L active ingredient equivalents

• Purity level: ≥ 97% pure active ingredient; formulation stability tested per FAO/WHO specifications

• Physical form: Clear to pale amber liquid

• Density: 1.18 – 1.22 g/mL at 20°C

• pH: 7.5 – 9.0 (neat concentrate)

• Viscosity: Low; fully water-dispersible

• Packaging options:

  • 200 L / 250 L industrial drums (HDPE with UN-approved closures)

  • 1,000 L IBC totes

  • Bulk isotanks (up to 20,000 L per shipment)

• Shelf life: 24 months from manufacture date when stored between 5°C and 35°C in original sealed containers

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Large-scale arable farming (wheat, maize, rice, sorghum, soybeans), plantation crops (sugarcane, oil palm, rubber), professional turf & amenity (golf courses, municipal parks), and forestry site preparation.

• Specific operational use cases:

  • Post-emergence broadleaf weed control in cereal grains (e.g., Chenopodium album, Amaranthus spp., Sinapis arvensis)

  • Pre-plant burndown in no-till soybean systems – tank-mixed with glyphosate

  • Spot treatment for perennial weeds (Cirsium arvense, Convolvulus arvensis) in pastures

• Why this product performs better than alternatives:

  • Faster rainfastness (1–2 hours vs. 4–6 hours for ester formulations) – reduces weather risk

  • Lower volatility than ester forms – no crop damage from vapor drift

  • Soluble in hard water and cold water – operational flexibility

  • Cost per hectare 30–50% lower than triazine or sulfonylurea alternatives for comparable weed spectra

• Efficiency advantage: One application at 0.5–2.0 L/ha achieves 90%+ control of over 90 broadleaf weed species, reducing repeat spray passes and labor costs.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001:2025 certified production; every batch tested for active ingredient concentration, free phenol content (≤ 0.3%), and emulsion stability (CIPAC MT 36).

• Supply reliability: Dual-sourced raw materials; three regional formulation plants (Asia-Pacific, Americas, EMEA) with 60+ days of buffer inventory.

• Logistics capability: Dangerous goods (UN 3082, Class 9) shipping via ocean, rail, and road – compliant with IMDG, ADR, and DOT. Door-to-door tracking available.

• Price competitiveness: Contract pricing for annual volumes >500 MT; index-linked or fixed-rate options.

• Sustainability: Lower application rates reduce carbon footprint per hectare. Formulation uses non-VOC co-solvents; drums are recyclable under industrial take-back programs.

• Technical support: Full SDS, crop-specific use guides, tank-mix compatibility matrix, and 24/7 agronomic hotline included with supply agreement.

5. Commercial & Supply Information
