Product Overview

 

Lactofen 240g/L EC is a highly selective, fast-acting, post-emergence broadleaf herbicide formulated as a premium Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC). Operating as a Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase (PPO) inhibitor, this formulation utilizes an optimized emulsification system to ensure rapid foliar absorption and maximum cuticle penetration.

Technical Features & Formulation Advantages

 

Green Co-Solvent Matrix: Replaces low-grade crude aromatics with high-boiling solvents and non-ionic polar modifiers. Eliminates maritime flammability risks and prevents active ingredient crystallization during cold-chain storage down to -5C.
Precision HLB Surfactant System: Formulated via a calibrated blend of polymeric alkylphenol ethoxylates and calcium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. Guarantees instantaneous blooming and micro-droplet emulsification in high-hardness groundwater up to 342 ppm.
Organosilicone Penetrants & Rainfastness: Reduces droplet contact angles on waxy cuticles (Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album) by over 40%. Maximizes foliar coverage and ensures complete rainfastness within 2 hours. 

 

Commercial Customization & Private Label

 

We offer extensive regulatory and logistical support to international distributors to facilitate seamless local registrations:


Fluorinated / COEX Packaging Technology: To counter container paneing and swelling typical of EC solvents, our retail packages (100mL, 250mL, 500mL, 1L) utilize Level 3 Fluorinated HDPE or 5-layer co-extruded (COEX) bottles. This entirely prevents solvent migration, structural collapsing, and label degradation.
Heavy-Duty Shipping Cartons: All products are packed in 5-layer reinforced corrugated master cartons (K=K grade) featuring moisture-proof internal dividers to ensure stable stacking and box integrity during long-haul sea freight.
Chemical-Shield Booklet Labels: Multi-page peel-and-read booklet labels finished with a solvent-resistant UV coating are available. These accommodate complex multi-crop dosage charts, pre-harvest intervals (PHI), and localized multilingual typesetting (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Arabic, etc.).

Targeted Agricultural Applications

 

Target Crops

Primary Target Weeds

Recommended Application Timing & Technical Keys

Soybeans

Amaranthus spp., Portulaca oleracea, Abutilon theophrasti, Xanthium spp., Convolvulus arvensis, Commelina communis

Apply post-emergence when soybeans are at the 1 to 3 trifoliate leaf stage, and weeds are at the 2 to 4 leaf stage. Control dosage strictly and avoid spraying during midday heat.

Cotton

Ipomoea spp., Sinapis arvensis, Solanum nigrum, Chenopodium spp.

Apply as a post-emergence directed spray between rows using protective hoods. Avoid direct contact of the spray mist with the green foliage or young bark of the cotton crops.

Peanuts

Eclipta prostrata, Portulaca oleracea, resistant Pigweeds

Apply uniform broadcast spray 2 to 4 weeks post-emergence when weeds are actively growing. Ensure adequate soil moisture before application.

FAQ

 

Q: Lactofen often causes transient bronzing or speckling on soybean leaves after application. How does your EC formulation minimize crop phytotoxicity?

A: Lactofen is a contact PPO inhibitor, and localized, transient leaf bronzing or burning is a biological trait of its rapid knockdown activity. When crops have a healthy root system, they typically outgrow these symptoms within 7 to 14 days with zero impact on final yields. To reduce this visual crop stress, our EC formulation incorporates a specialized safener matrix that optimizes spray droplet surface tension. This ensures uniform distribution on the leaf rather than pooling in leaf depressions, preventing localized chemical spikes and mitigating harsh foliar burning.

Q: How does this 240g/L EC formulation perform structurally when subjected to extreme temperatures during shipping or tropical warehousing?

A: Our emulsifier and solvent matrix is engineered to withstand extreme climatic fluctuations. Under standard low-temperature testing at 0°C (including sub-zero thresholds down to -5°C) for 7 days, the formulation remains completely homogeneous without crystallization or phase separation. Under accelerated heat storage at 54°C for 14 days, the chemical degradation of the active ingredient remains under 2.0%, ensuring the product retains its efficacy and physical stability in hot climates or during extended transit through equatorial waters.

Q: Does this product perform reliably when diluted with high-calcium or high-magnesium hard water in regions like Latin America or the Middle East?

A: Oil separation, creaming, or nozzle-clogging sediments are typical symptoms of poor hard water tolerance in low-grade EC formulations. Our Lactofen 240g/L EC utilizes a dual anionic-nonionic surfactant package. When subjected to standard CIPAC hard water tests (equivalent to 342 ppm CaCO3​ hardness) at dilution ratios ranging from 20x to 200x, the formulation forms a stable emulsion with zero free oil or cream separation for over 2 hours, preventing field failures and nozzle blockages.

Q: Is this Lactofen 240g/L EC formulation compatible for tank-mixing with companion post-emergence herbicides like Bentazone, Quizalofop-p-ethyl, or Glyphosate?

A: Yes, our formulation features high chemical and physical compatibility. In major North and South American markets, it is frequently tank-mixed with Bentazone or Quizalofop-p-ethyl to broaden the weed control spectrum. When tank-mixing, always follow the standard mixing sequence: add water-soluble powders or granules first, dissolve completely, and add the EC formulation last. A standard jar test is always recommended prior to large-scale blending with untested regional brands.

Q: What regulatory data packages and documentation can you provide for distributors managing local import registrations?

A: We maintain a dedicated regulatory department. For contracted buyers, we supply standard commercial documentation, including verified Certificates of Analysis (COA) per batch, GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheets (SDS/MSDS), and Technical Data Sheets (TDS) within 3 business days. If your local Ministry of Agriculture requires multi-batch analysis, impurity profiles, or manufacturing process flowcharts for registration purposes, please contact our international trade division to arrange specific data authorizations.

Q: Why are your retail bottles resistant to container collapsing (paneing) when stored in high-temperature or high-altitude environments?

A: Standard HDPE bottles are vulnerable to aromatic solvents, which can slowly permeate through the plastic matrix over time. This loss of internal volume creates negative pressure, causing the bottle to warp or cave in. For all retail pack sizes of 1 Liter and below, we exclusively use high-grade Level 3 Fluorinated HDPE or multi-layer Co-extruded (COEX) bottles. This impervious barrier stops solvent migration, preserving bottle structural integrity even under prolonged 50°C container conditions.

Q: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for private label printing, and what are the standard lead times for custom projects?

A: Our standard minimum order quantity for custom private labeling is 3,000 Liters for small retail packs (1L and below) to justify the setup and plate loss of high-speed automated packaging lines. For bulk commercial packaging (20L to 1000L IBC), the MOQ is 5,000 Liters. If utilizing our standard inventory bottles, shipping occurs within 20 to 25 days following label design finalization and advance payment approval. Custom container molding or embossed branding requires an additional 10 days for tooling.
