Fipronil CAS#120068-37-3
Broad-Spectrum Insecticide: Fipronil is a highly effective insecticide from the phenylpyrazole group, offering control over a wide range of pests.
Slow-Acting Poison: Its slow-acting nature allows for extended pest control, making it ideal for sustained protection.
Low Soil Retention: Fipronil does not strongly bind with soil, ensuring that it remains effective for longer periods and reduces the risk of soil contamination.
Long Half-Life: With a half-life of 34 days for its metabolite (fipronil-sulphone), it provides long-term residual activity in pest management applications.
Fipronil is a white powder that emits a moldy odor. It is poorly soluble in water and acts as a slow-acting poison. It has a low affinity for binding with soil, and the half-life of its metabolite, fipronil-sulphone, is 34 days. As a broad-spectrum insecticide, it belongs to the phenylpyrazole class.
