Product Information

• Name: 9(Z)-Tetradecenol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 9(Z)-Tetradecenol is a synthetic chemical that is used as an insecticide. It has been shown to have a high binding activity against the fatty acid in the cell membrane of lepidoptera, which disrupts the integrity of the membrane and leads to cell death by lysis. 9(Z)-Tetradecenol has also been found to bind to metal surfaces. 9(Z)-Tetradecenol is soluble in water, which makes it suitable for use in water-based formulations. This compound can be classified as a target pest because it only affects insects and not other organisms such as birds or mammals. It is active against a number of different species including lepidoptera, mosquitoes, aphids, and termites.
