Acetamiprid TC

Description

1. Product Overview
Acetamiprid TC is a high-purity, neonicotinoid insecticide technical concentrate formulated for the synthesis of next-generation crop protection products. It is primarily used in industrial-scale production of emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, and water-dispersible granules targeting piercing-sucking and chewing pests. With its rapid systemic action, low mammalian toxicity profile, and efficacy against resistant pest strains, Acetamiprid TC is strategically positioned as a cost-efficient alternative to older chemistries (e.g., imidacloprid) in global integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Acetamiprid (IUPAC: (E)-N1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)methyl]-N2-cyano-N1-methylacetamidine)

• Purity level: ≥ 98% TC (Technical Grade) – conforms to FAO specifications

• Physical form: Off-white to white crystalline powder

• Particle size: 90% passing through 44 µm (325 mesh) for optimal formulation blending

• Bulk density: 0.55 – 0.65 g/cm³ (untapped)

• Melting point: 100 – 102°C

• Packaging options: 25 kg net kraft paper bags with PE liner; 500 kg and 1000 kg FIBC (bulk bags) upon request

• Shelf life: 24 months in original unopened packaging under dry, ambient conditions (5–35°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Agrochemical formulation manufacturing; large-scale contract blending; export-oriented crop protection supply chains

• Specific use cases:

  • Formulation of high-load EC (20%–30%) for cotton, vegetables, and citrus against aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers

  • Production of water-dispersible granules (WDG 20%–70%) for rice and tea plantations

  • Tank-mix adjuvant-ready concentrates for tree fruits (apples, pears) targeting Psylla spp.

• Performance advantage: Exhibits faster knockdown than thiamethoxam and lower honeybee toxicity than imidacloprid at recommended field rates. Superior translaminar movement ensures control of pests on untreated leaf undersides.

• Cost advantage: Enables formulators to achieve 30–40% lower active ingredient cost per hectare compared to spinosad or emamectin benzoate, while maintaining efficacy under high-temperature field conditions.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Multi-batch HPLC testing with certificate of analysis (CoA) provided per shipment; ≤0.3% impurity profile variance across production cycles

• Supply reliability: Dedicated synthetic capacity of 2,400 MT/year; safety stock held in 3 regional distribution hubs (Asia, Middle East, Latin America)

• Logistics capability: DG-compliant packaging (UN 3077, Class 9); hazardous cargo documentation full-service (MSDS, GHS labels, shipping manifests)

• Price competitiveness: Direct-from-manufacturer pricing with quarterly fixed-rate contracts available for buyers over 50 MT/year

• Sustainability: Manufactured using solvent-recovery systems (≥85% recycling); no heavy metal catalysts; compliant with EU 1107/2009 and China’s GB/T 19630 organic transition standards

• Technical support: Access to formulation lab support (emulsion stability, suspensibility tests) and dossier support for generic registrations (APVMA, ANVISA, CCPR)

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT (one standard 20’ FCL, mixed packaging acceptable)

• Loading capacity: 20–22 MT per standard 20-ft dry container (palletized or floor-loaded, depending on destination)
