Ethephon

Ethephon

Other name: Ethrel, Cepha ,GAF

Bio-efficacy: Plant growth regulator

CAS: 16672-87-0

EC NO.: 240-718-3

CLASS: 8

UN NO.: 3265

MF: C2H6CIO3P

Solubility: Solubility in water 1kg/L, soluble in organic solvents.

Stability: Stable in aqueous solutions having PH<5.

                 At higher PH, decomposition occurs with the liberation of ethylene.

                Sensitive to U.V. irradiation.

Mammalian Toxicology: Oral acute LD50 for rats 3030mg/kg (tech).

Application:

Plant growth regulator with systemic properties. Penetrates into the plant tissues, and is decomposed to ethylene, which promotes the growth processes.

Packing: 10kg drum, 20kg drum, 200kg drum, IBC.
