Common name

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN

IUPAC name

3-phenoxybenzyl (1R,3R)-2,2- dimethyl-3-(2-methylprop1-en-1-yl)cyclopropanecarboxylate

CAS name

Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methyl1-propen-1-yl)-, (3-phenoxyphenyl) methyl ester, (1R,3R)-

BENEFITS

Broad spectrum of activity against household and public hygiene insects
Killing effect
Efficiently controls insect population in treated area
Easy photo-degradability (low residuality)
Excellently synergized by Piperonyl Butoxide
Low-mammal toxicity

PROPERTIES

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is a photolabile synthetic pyrethroid with excellent insecticidal properties, exhibiting a killing effect higher than that of other photo-labile pyrethroids such as Tetramethrin and Prallethrin.
Thanks to its killing properties and broad spectrum of actions, 1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is used in both household and public health sectors in applications when a non-residual killing effect is desired.
As for other synthetic pyrethroids, the efficacy of 1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is strongly enhanced when combined with Piperonyl Butoxide which, thanks to its unique mode of action, synergizes very well this class of insecticides.

APPLICATIONS

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is an excellent pyrethroid with killing properties suitable for applications against flying and crawling insects.
When synergized with Piperonyl Butoxide, the efficacy of 1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is increased, both in terms of knock-down and killing effect.

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN has a very broad spectrum of action against flying (flies, mosquitoes) and crawling insects (roaches, mites, fleas).

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is mainly used in water or oil based aerosols, but it also finds application in professional products such as liquid concentrates (emulsifiable concentrates, macro and micro-emulsions)
and corresponding RTUs

COMPATIBILITY, STABILITY,
STORAGE AND HANDLING

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is compatible with most of the actives, solvents and co-formulants normally used in the manufacturing of insecticidal products, including Piperonyl Butoxide which also exhibits an excellent solvency power towards pyrethroids.

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is sensitive to alkalis and strong acids, which rapidly hydrolyse the substance.

1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN is also degraded by exposure to light and air. When kept in the original sealed drums and properly stored, 1R-TRANS PHENOTHRIN has a shelf life of at least 3 years from the manufacturing
date. For prescribed handling, storage conditions, disposal and transport information, refer to the relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
