2,4-D Amine

Description

Product Overview
2,4‑D Amine is a widely used systemic phenoxy herbicide formulated as the amine salt of 2,4‑dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. It is primarily applied for selective control of broadleaf weeds in agricultural, turf, and industrial vegetation management settings. The product delivers reliable, cost‑efficient weed control with rapid translocation in target plants, improving crop hygiene and reducing manual weeding costs. As a proven active ingredient with established regulatory acceptance in many markets, 2,4‑D Amine is strategically important for large‑scale crop protection programs and municipal/industrial vegetation control where predictable efficacy and supply continuity are critical.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Active ingredient: 2,4‑Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dimethylamine (amine) salt concentration as specified per grade (e.g., 435 g/L typical for common liquid formulations).

• Chemical composition: 2,4‑D amine salt in aqueous solution or as specified by customer (custom concentrations available by agreement).

• Purity/grade: Technical‑grade starting material meeting industry standards for formulation (specify analytical purity on request; typical technical purity ≥ 95% for technical concentrates).

• Physical form: Clear to pale yellow liquid solution (viscosity similar to water), miscible with water; alternative formulation solids available by contract.

• Density: Approximately 1.20–1.25 g/mL for common concentrated liquids (exact density specified on COA).

• pH: Typically alkaline (amine salt), value provided on batch COA.

• Solubility: Readily soluble in water; stable in standard formulation matrices.

• Impurities: Meets regulatory limits for chlorinated phenoxy impurities; full impurity profile available on request.

• Packaging options: 20 L jerrycans, 200 L drums, IBCs (1,000 L), ISO tanks for bulk liquid export; custom packaging and private‑label options available.

• Shelf life: 12–24 months under recommended storage (cool, dry, sealed containers, out of direct sunlight); stability data and recommended storage conditions supplied with each shipment.

• Documentation: Full Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), technical datasheet, and regulatory compliance documentation provided per shipment.

Core Industrial Applications

• Agriculture: Pre‑ and post‑emergent control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, corn, sugarcane, and certain ROW crops; used by seed treatment and crop protection formulators for bulk formulation.

• Turf management and amenity care: Selective weed control in lawns, golf courses, parks, and sports fields where safety and turf health are priorities.

• Industrial vegetation management: Right‑of‑way (roadsides, railways, pipelines), municipal weed control programs, and non‑crop land maintenance requiring long‑lasting, cost‑effective control.

• Formulation use: Raw material for agrochemical formulators producing end‑use herbicide formulations (liquid concentrates, tank mixes).
  Why it performs better than alternatives:

• Rapid systemic action and effective translocation provide consistent control of target broadleaf species that many contact herbicides miss.

• Amine salt chemistry provides superior mixing and handling characteristics compared with some ester forms, offering lower volatility and reduced off‑target movement under typical field conditions.

• Economical active‑ingredient cost per hectare when used at recommended rates, enabling large‑scale operational savings versus more expensive selective chemistries.

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Every batch accompanies a Certificate of Analysis and meets strict QC parameters to ensure consistent active concentration and impurity control.

• Supply reliability: Sourced through vetted manufacturers with scalable production and contractual supply agreements to support seasonal demand peaks.

• Logistics capability: Multiple packaging formats, IBC and ISO tank options, and experienced export logistics for bulk shipments, enabling efficient container loading and lower per‑unit freight cost.

• Price competitiveness: Competitive FOB/CIF pricing tiers for bulk (20 MT and above) buyers with contractual volume discounts for recurring purchase agreements.

• Sustainability considerations: Amine salt form reduces volatility risk compared with esters; suppliers can provide environmental and handling guidance to support safer application practices.

• Technical support: Full technical documentation, agronomic guidance, application rate recommendations, and access to regulatory dossiers and safety information to support compliance and effective use.
