Boscalid TC

Description

1. Product Overview

Boscalid TC is a high-purity technical concentrate active ingredient belonging to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) class of fungicides. It is primarily utilized for the industrial formulation of broad-spectrum crop protection products, targeting key pathogens in high-value row crops, fruits, and vegetables. The strategic value proposition lies in its unique cross-spectrum efficacy—controlling both ascomycetes and basidiomycetes—combined with a low risk of cross-resistance to other fungicide classes, making it an indispensable component for modern resistance management programs. For agrochemical formulators, Boscalid TC represents a critical asset in building next-generation, long-lasting disease control solutions.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Boscalid (2-chloro-N-(4′-chlorobiphenyl-2-yl) nicotinamide); SDHI Fungicide Group 7

• Purity Grade: ≥ 96.0% w/w Technical Concentrate (TC)

• Physical Form: Off-white to light beige, free-flowing powder

• Particle Size: 98% passing through 325 mesh (typical, ensures uniform formulation dispersion)

• Bulk Density: Tapped density 0.45–0.65 g/cm³

• Packaging Options: 25 kg net kraft paper bags with inner PE liner; 500 kg FIBC (big bags) available upon request

• Shelf Life: 36 months from date of manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging in dry, ambient conditions (≤ 30°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Industries: Agrochemical formulation manufacturing; crop protection R&D; contract blending services.

• Operational Use Cases:

  • Formulation of SC, WG, and WG: Direct compounding into suspension concentrates (SC), water-dispersible granules (WG), and wettable powders (WP) for commercial fungicide end-products.

  • Resistance Management Programs: Blended with strobilurin or triazole co-formulants (e.g., Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin) to extend patent life and product efficacy on resistant pathogen strains.

  • High-Value Crop Protection: Final formulations target Botrytis cinerea (gray mold), Sclerotinia spp., Monilinia spp., and powdery mildew on almonds, grapes, potatoes, and peanuts.

• Performance Advantage: Boscalid exhibits strong xylem-systemic movement and outstanding residual activity (14–28 days) compared to contact-only alternatives. It retains efficacy under cool, wet conditions where many competitors degrade, offering formulators a reliable season-long performance profile.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: ISO 9001:2015 certified production; every batch certified via HPLC-MS for purity, residual solvent content, and impurity profile (FIFRA/GLP data available).

• Supply Reliability: Vertically integrated synthesis from key intermediates; multi-site manufacturing redundancy ensuring 99.5% on-time delivery rate over 24 months.

• Logistics Capability: Dedicated hazardous cargo (UN 3077, Class 9) supply chain with pre-cleared documentation for major global ports (Rotterdam, Houston, Shanghai, Mumbai).

• Price Competitiveness: Direct-from-manufacturer pricing with volume tiering; no hidden surcharges for COA or regulatory support.

• Sustainability & Compliance: REACH-compliant registration support; non-brominated, low-VOC production process; full traceability from batch to shipment.

• Technical Support: Free access to formulation development guidance, stability study templates, and co-formulant compatibility database via dedicated technical account manager.

5. Commercial & Supply Information
