Permethrin Structure

Permethrin (CAS 52645-53-1) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that has been a workhorse in both agricultural and public health applications for decades. It is a racemic mixture of cis and trans isomers, typically supplied as a technical grade powder with ≥95% purity. The compound acts on insect sodium channels, causing prolonged depolarization and rapid paralysis—a mode of action that remains effective against a broad spectrum of pests, including lice, ticks, fleas, and agricultural lepidopteran larvae.

We offer Permethrin in standard technical grade, suitable for formulation into emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, and topical solutions. Each batch is tested for isomer ratio, assay, and residual solvents, with full documentation provided for regulatory compliance.

Synonyms: 3-Phenoxybenzyl (1RS,3RS;1RS,3SR)-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, NRDC 143, Permanone, Ambush, Ectiban, Nix

Applications

  • Agricultural crop protection: cotton, vegetables, and fruit orchards
  • Veterinary ectoparasite control: pour-on and dip formulations for cattle and sheep
  • Public health: mosquito net treatments and residual sprays for malaria control
  • Human topical preparations: scabies and lice treatments (pharmaceutical grade)

Quality & Documentation

All production follows ISO 9001 standards. Every lot is analyzed by HPLC for assay and impurity profile; isomer ratio is confirmed by GC. COA, MSDS, and TDS are available upon request. Stability data can be provided for formulation development support.

Packaging & Supply

Standard packaging includes 25 kg fiber drums, with smaller quantities (1 kg, 5 kg) available for R&D. Bulk orders and custom packaging can be arranged. In-stock items ship within 5–7 days. MOQ is 1 kg for samples, 25 kg for production. For pricing and lead times, contact our sales team.
