Strong flushing-out effect
Easy photo-degradability (low residuality)
Synergized by Piperonyl Butoxide

PROPERTIES

IMIPROTHRIN MUP (Manufactured Use Product) is a solution of IMIPROTHRIN technical grade in a suitable solvent. The use of the solvent facilitates the handling of technical grade IMIPROTHRIN and is also reported to increase the cuticular penetration of the active substance into the insects’ body.

IMIPROTHRIN is a photolabile synthetic pyrethroid exhibiting mainly a knock-down effect especially on cockroaches.
As for other synthetic pyrethroids, the efficacy of IMIPROTHRIN is strongly enhanced when is combined with Piperonyl Butoxide, in particular in terms of knock-down effect on flies.

APPLICATIONS

IMIPROTHRIN is an excellent knock-down pyrethroid suitable for aerosol applications against crawling insects, particularly against cockroaches.
When IMIPROTHRIN is properly synergized with Piperonyl Butoxide, its knock-down effect on other insects such as flies is enhanced, making the substance a suitable knock-down agent in Multipurpose Insect Killer (MIK) aerosol formulations.

COMPATIBILITY, STABILITY,
STORAGE AND HANDLING

IMIPROTHRIN MUP 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. IMIPROTHRIN MUP is sensitive to alkalis and strong acids, which rapidly hydrolyse the substance.

IMIPROTHRIN MUP is also degraded by exposure to light and air. When kept in the original sealed drums and properly stored, IMIPROTHRIN MUP 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)
