• Brand: TRC
• Description: Applications 4,4'-Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is a synthetic organochlorine insecticide. 4,4'-Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane functions by opening sodium ion channels in the insects’ neurons, causing them to fire spontaneously which in turn leads to death. 4,4'-Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is banned for agricultural use in North America, it is still commonly used in some countries and particularly as a means of malaria control. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the packageReferences Balkew, M. et al.: Paras.
