Chlorantraniliprole Formulations for Importers: SC Loadings and Mixtures

Chlorantraniliprole Formulations for Importers: SC Loadings and Mixtures

This guide explains how professional buyers can compare chlorantraniliprole formulations and ready-mixed combinations before shortlisting suppliers. It is an educational sourcing resource, not an application recommendation, product label or legal opinion. Product approval, label directions and commercial legality must always be verified for the destination jurisdiction.

Chlorantraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide classified by IRAC in Group 28 as a ryanodine receptor modulator. It is requested mainly for caterpillar (lepidopteran) programmes, and because the same active is quoted at several suspension-concentrate loadings, offers that look interchangeable on a name can differ in concentration basis, specification and price per unit of active ingredient.

Straight SC loadings

Averstar lists straight chlorantraniliprole at several SC loadings: Chlorantraniliprole 150g/L SC, Chlorantraniliprole 180g/L SC, Chlorantraniliprole 200g/L SC and Chlorantraniliprole 20% SC.

A grams-per-litre figure and a weight percentage are not directly comparable without the density on the specification, so reconcile every offer to one basis before comparing prices. Suspension concentrates should also be compared on suspensibility, particle-size behaviour and storage guidance from the specification — differences there show up later as field complaints and disputed claims.

Ready-mixed combinations

Mixtures pair chlorantraniliprole with partners from other IRAC groups. Averstar lists Chlorantraniliprole + Emamectin Benzoate 9% / 2.6% SC, Lufenuron + Chlorantraniliprole 100g/L / 100g/L SC, Chlorantraniliprole + Abamectin 1.7% / 4.3% SC and Abamectin + Chlorantraniliprole 17g/L / 43g/L SC.

For any mixture, every active ingredient must be acceptable in the destination market and the mixture itself normally needs its own registration. Because Group 28 chemistry is a common backbone in anti-resistance programmes, review the positioning with local advisers using the current IRAC classification, and confirm maximum residue limits for each component in the destination market.

Packaging, shipment and sample planning

SC offers are normally quoted in bottles, 5–20 L co-packs and 200 L drums. Ask each supplier to state the packaging materials, net contents per unit and export carton configuration on the quotation, and confirm that proposed retail pack sizes are acceptable under destination labelling rules before artwork is prepared.

When samples are needed for registration or laboratory verification, agree in writing what the sample represents: the batch, the formulation version and the specification revision. A sample drawn from a pilot batch does not prove that commercial shipments will match, so tie the commercial contract to the certificate of analysis of each shipped batch rather than to the sample alone.

Documents to request before shortlisting

An evidence-led comparison needs the same document set from every candidate supplier: the certificate of analysis, the proposed or registered label, the safety data sheet, the product specification, packaging details and the manufacturing-site identity. Ask for the version and date of each document, and keep the records together so that differences between a quotation, a label and a technical sheet can be resolved before commercial commitments are made.

For the general framework, see our insecticide resistance-management buyer checklist and the buyer comparison of pesticide formulation types.

Registration and residue references

Use the FAO pest and pesticide management resources for framework guidance and the Codex pesticide residues database for internationally referenced maximum residue limits, then confirm current national decisions with the destination authority. Nothing in this guide replaces the registered label or local regulatory advice.
