Carbendazim

Description

1. Product Overview

Carbendazim is a systemic benzimidazole fungicide used primarily to control a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens in agricultural and industrial crop protection applications. Its main industrial use is as an active ingredient in formulations for seed treatment, foliar sprays, and post-harvest protection where long-lasting, systemic disease control is required. Key value propositions are proven curative and protective efficacy, systemic translocation within plant tissues, and compatibility with common formulation platforms—delivering predictable disease suppression and yield protection for large-scale growers and formulators. Strategically, Carbendazim remains important where tight disease control, regulatory-compliant sourcing, and supply continuity are required for high-value crops and integrated pest management programs.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate (Carbendazim) active ingredient

• CAS number: 10605-21-7

• Purity / grade: Technical-grade active ingredient, typical assay ≥ 95.0% w/w (specify batch certificate for exact value)

• Physical form: Solid crystalline powder

• Color: Off-white to light beige (batch variation possible)

• Particle size: Typical D50 in 10–100 µm range (custom milling available on request)

• Bulk density: Approximately 0.4–0.6 g/cm³ (packed density varies by pack type)

• Melting point: ~290–295°C (decomposes)

• Solubility: Sparingly soluble in water; soluble in common organic solvents (specify formulation solvent compatibility)

• Stability / shelf life: Stable under recommended storage (cool, dry, away from direct sunlight); typical shelf life 24 months from manufacture when stored in original sealed packaging

• Packaging options:

  • Bulk: 20 MT per ISO container (loose bulk with liner)

  • Big Bags: 1,000 kg FIBC, palletized (20 bags per 20’ container typical)

  • Drums: 50 kg and 25 kg HDPE/steel drums (palletized)

  • Custom packaging available on request (certified food-grade liners, anti-static options)

• Documentation: Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), and GMP/QA documentation provided per shipment

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Agricultural agrochemical formulators, seed treatment processors, post-harvest protection suppliers, and industrial research/manufacturing where benzimidazole chemistry is required.

• Operational use cases:

  • Seed treatment: systemic protection against seed-borne and soil-borne fungi to improve germination and stand establishment.

  • Foliar and soil applications: curative and protective control for diseases such as Botrytis, Fusarium, and Sclerotinia in cereals, fruits, and vegetables.

  • Post-harvest and storage protection: mitigation of storage rot and spoilage in harvested produce and grains.

  • Formulation intermediate: active pharmaceutical/chemical intermediate use where benzimidazole derivatives are required.

• Why it outperforms alternatives: Carbendazim offers strong systemic activity (moves within plant tissues), broad-spectrum efficacy at relatively low application rates, high intrinsic potency, and established compatibility with standard formulation platforms. For large-scale operations and formulators, its predictable performance profile reduces overdosing risk and lowers per-hectare active ingredient costs compared with less systemic or narrower-spectrum fungicides.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Supplied as technical-grade batches with strict QC, CoA, and traceability for each lot to ensure consistent active assay and impurity profile.

• Supply reliability: Industrial-scale manufacturing and strategic inventory planning to support continuous supply for seasonal demand peaks. Contracted production capacity and flexible scheduling reduce stockout risk.

• Logistics capability: Multiple packaging formats optimized for container loading and bulk handling; experienced export documentation and customs support for intercontinental shipments.

• Price competitiveness: Economies of scale on bulk orders and flexible commercial terms for long-term contracts make per-kg costs competitive for formulators and distributors.

• Sustainability considerations: Options for optimized packing to reduce transport emissions per tonne (bulk/IBC), and waste-minimization packaging on request. Supplier can provide compliance documentation to support regulatory reporting and responsible sourcing audits.

• Technical support: Technical Data Sheet, SDS, CoA, and application guidance; agronomic and formulation support available on request to assist in product integration and compatibility testing.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT

• Loading capacity (MT per container):

  • 20’ container (bulk/bagged): up to 20 MT (depending on packaging and packing method)

  • 40’ container (bagged/palletized): up to 24–25 MT (standard pallet & bag configuration)

  • Flexibility for higher-volume shipments via multi-container bookings or direct bulk tanker arrangements where applicable
