*DG classification depends on formulation/pack; consult SDS and
carrier requirements in your market.
Formulations
Technical • 480 g/L SL • other on request
Active content (SL)
480 g/L ethephon
pH (SL)
≈ 1–2 (acidic)
Density (20 °C)
≈ 1.20 g/mL
Solubility
fully miscible in water
Mode of action: absorbed and decomposes to ethylene within plant
tissues, triggering physiological responses associated with
ripening and maturation. Always follow locally approved labels and
regulatory requirements for PGR use.

|
• Ripening/degreening: pineapple, banana (field), citrus
degreening (pre‑harvest). • Flower induction: pineapple; boll opening/defoliation assistance in cotton per local labels. • Latex stimulation in rubber.* |
• SL: 1 L, 5 L, 20 L HDPE; 200 L drums; 1000 L IBC. • Technical: 25 kg fiber drums/bags with PE liner. |
• Corrosive/acidic. Store in HDPE at 5–30 °C, away from
metals/alkalis and oxidizers; protect from heat and
sunlight. • Use acid‑resistant pumps/lines; avoid alkaline tank‑mixes (rapid decomposition). Follow PPE on SDS. |
Regulatory: PGR use is subject to local pesticide registration and
label directions. Buyer must confirm permitted crops, rates,
PHI/REI, and MRLs in the destination market.
