Manufacture of Chlorpyriphos
Introduction
Trichloroacetyle chloride and acrylonitrile are reacted
to give an intermediate which is neutralized before
being reacted chlorpyriphos (Tech.). Chlorpyriphos (Tech)
is indigenously developed using TCAC as starting raw
material avoiding Pyridine, which is a starting raw
material in conventional processes. CPP 99% is exportable
to developed / developing countries & IICT can provide
process knowhow. CPP can be commercialized or retrofitted
into existing pesticide manufacturing unit.
Advantages
By using TCAC as starting raw material the Chlorpyriphos
(tech) technology is indigenously manufactured.
Applications
Broad spectrum organophosphorous insecticide for wide
range of crops. Control of soil insects and some foliar
insect pests on a wide range of crops, including pome
fruit, stone fruit, citrus fruit, nut crops, strawberries,
figs bananas, vines, vegetables, potatoes, beat, tobacco,
soyabeans, ice, cotton, lucerene, cereals, maize, surghum,
asaparagus, glasshouse and outdoor ornamentals, mushrooms,
turf and in forestry. Control of insect pests in stored
products, household insect pests (including ants and
cockroaches), flies and other insects in animal houses
mosquitoes (Adults & Larvae), also used as an animal
ectroparasiticide.
