Carbendazim TC

Description

1. Product Overview

Carbendazim TC is a high-purity, broad-spectrum systemic benzimidazole fungicide technical concentrate, designed for the formulation of crop protection products against a wide range of ascomycetes and deuteromycetes pathogens. Its primary industrial application is as the core active ingredient in fungicide formulations (e.g., WP, SC, WG) for cereals, fruits, vegetables, and cash crops. The key strategic value proposition lies in its proven efficacy in controlling devastating diseases such as Fusarium, powdery mildew, and anthracnose, while offering superior cost-efficiency and formulation stability—making it an indispensable asset for agrochemical manufacturers seeking reliable, high-performance crop protection inputs.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Methyl benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate (Benzimidazole class); CAS No. 10605-21-7

• Purity level: ≥ 98% TC (Technical Grade) – meeting FAO and regulatory specifications

• Physical characteristics:

  • Off-white to light beige crystalline powder

  • Melting point: 302–307°C (decomposes before boiling)

  • Bulk density: 0.4–0.6 g/cm³ (loose); 0.6–0.8 g/cm³ (tapped)

  • Particle size: 95% passing through 325 mesh (for optimal suspension stability)

• Moisture content: ≤ 0.5%

• Insolubles: ≤ 0.2% (in acetone)

• Packaging options:

  • 25 kg net woven PP bags with PE liner

  • 500 kg net FIBC bags

  • 1,000 kg net palletized shrink-wrapped units

• Shelf life: 3 years in original unopened packaging, stored in dry, cool, well-ventilated conditions (below 30°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Large-scale agrochemical formulators, crop protection manufacturers, and agricultural raw material distributors.

• Specific operational use cases:

  • Formulation of 50% WP (wettable powder) for post-harvest citrus and banana disease control

  • Production of 500 g/L SC (suspension concentrate) for cereal leaf spot and wheat head scab (Fusarium)

  • Co-formulation with mancozeb or chlorothalonil for broad-spectrum disease management in vegetables (tomato early blight, cucumber powdery mildew)

• Performance advantages over alternatives:

  • Superior systemic activity – penetrates and moves through plant tissues more efficiently than contact fungicides like chlorothalonil

  • Higher thermal stability – withstands milling and drying during WP/WG production without degradation

  • Lower phytotoxicity risk – safer for sensitive crops compared to thiophanate-methyl in high-temperature conditions

  • Cost efficiency – enables lower use rates (200–300 g ai/ha) vs. multi-site fungicides, reducing total formulation cost per hectare

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch purity variation < ±0.5% via ISO 9001:2015-certified QC lab; each shipment includes CoA with HPLC chromatograms.
