In its conventional state, Thiamethoxam Technical is usually in powder form (specifically a white to pale yellow crystalline powder).
Thiamethoxam belongs to the neonicotinoid class of insecticides, which acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system of insects, thereby exerting insecticidal effects. It has high selectivity and effectiveness against target pests.
It can effectively control a variety of sucking pests and some chewing pests, including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, and beetles, etc. It has the characteristics of contact killing, stomach poisoning, and systemic absorption, which can be absorbed by plants and transported to various parts, providing long - term protection.
As a pure active ingredient, Thiamethoxam Technical is not directly used in agricultural production. It is mainly used as a raw material for the production of various pesticide formulations. After being processed with auxiliaries such as solvents, emulsifiers, and carriers, it can be made into different formulations such as suspending agents, water - dispersible granules, and wettable powders, which are then applied in fields, greenhouses, orchards, and other agricultural scenes.
It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well - ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. It should be kept sealed to prevent moisture absorption and agglomeration. At the same time, it should be stored separately from food, beverages, feed, and other items to avoid mixing.
When handling Thiamethoxam Technical, relevant protective equipment such as gloves, masks, and goggles should be worn to avoid direct contact with the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, it should be rinsed with plenty of water immediately. During transportation, it should comply with relevant regulations to prevent leakage, collision, and exposure to sunlight and rain.
