Dichlormid CAS 37764-25-3

High-Purity Dichlormid CAS 37764-25-3 from Aure Chemical: Stable Supply & Compliance

Dichlormid (CAS 37764-25-3) is a dichloroacetamide compound widely used as a herbicide safener to protect maize and certain other cereal crops from phytotoxic injury caused by pre-emergence chloroacetanilide and thiocarbamate herbicides. It enhances the crop’s natural detoxification systems, particularly glutathione S-transferase activity, allowing effective weed control without compromising crop safety or yield potential. Aure Chemical supplies this technical-grade material to formulation companies and agricultural product developers seeking consistent quality for professional use.

Introduced commercially in the early 1970s, Dichlormid has become a standard component in many selective herbicide formulations for corn. The compound is primarily absorbed through plant roots following soil application and provides protection during the critical early growth stages when crops are most vulnerable to herbicide stress. Its established performance profile supports integrated weed management programs in major maize-producing regions worldwide.

Chemical Structure

Key Applications

• Primary herbicide safener for maize protection: Widely applied to safeguard corn crops from phytotoxic injury caused by pre-emergence chloroacetanilide herbicides such as acetochlor and metolachlor, as well as thiocarbamate herbicides including EPTC and butylate.

• Key formulation additive in selective herbicide products: Incorporated into commercial pre-packaged or tank-mix herbicide formulations to improve crop selectivity and enable effective control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in cereal production systems.

• Chemical intermediate for advanced crop protection systems: Serves as a specialized building block in the development and manufacturing of safener-enhanced agrochemical formulations used by professional formulators.

• Root-absorbed systemic protectant for early crop stages: Absorbed primarily through plant roots after soil application, providing systemic protection during seedling establishment and early vegetative growth of maize and selected cereals.

• Support for sustainable weed management programs: Facilitates higher herbicide application flexibility and supports integrated crop protection strategies aimed at maintaining yield while minimizing crop damage in major grain-producing regions.
