Product Overview
(Z)-9-Tricosene, commonly known by its trade name Muscalure, represents a highly specialized organic compound utilized extensively within the agricultural chemical sector. This long-chain alkene functions as a critical pheromone component, specifically engineered to mimic the natural sex attractants of the common housefly. Our manufacturing facility produces this technical grade material with stringent quality controls to ensure optimal performance in pest management formulations. As a leading supplier, we understand the importance of isomeric purity in achieving effective biological activity.
The compound is characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the ninth carbon position, which is essential for its biological recognition by target insects. Deviations in stereochemistry can significantly reduce efficacy, which is why our production process focuses on maximizing the Z-isomer content while minimizing unwanted E-isomers and other impurities. This attention to detail ensures that formulators can rely on our material for consistent results in their final bait products.

Application in Pest Management
The primary utility of this chemical lies in its role as a potent attractant within integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. It is predominantly used in the formulation of fly baits and trapping systems. By mimicking the natural pheromone signals, it effectively lures both male and female houseflies, thereby interfering with their mating cycles and population growth. This biological approach offers a targeted alternative to broad-spectrum insecticides, reducing environmental impact while maintaining control efficacy.
Formulators utilize this intermediate to create slow-release dispensers or contact-based bait stations. The high purity ensures that the release rate remains predictable over time, which is crucial for long-term pest suppression programs in agricultural, commercial, and residential settings. Our team provides technical support to help partners optimize their formulation matrices for maximum volatility and stability.
Quality Assurance and Storage
Maintaining the integrity of (Z)-9-Tricosene requires proper handling and storage protocols. The material is stable under normal temperatures and pressures but should be protected from strong oxidizing agents. We recommend storing the product in tightly closed containers within a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying the gas chromatography results and physical constants.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond the final product. We employ advanced synthesis routes and purification techniques to ensure industrial purity levels that exceed market expectations. As a global manufacturer, we are equipped to handle bulk orders and provide consistent supply chains for international clients seeking reliable chemical intermediates for agrochemical applications.
