UNDECYLENIC ACID: CAS no. 112-38-9 Undecylenic Acid is a natural, powerful fungicide and bactericide .It is 100% of vegetal oil origin. It is a compound that inhibits the growth of fungi. Undecylenic acid is a fatty acid that works by preventing the growth of fungus. It increases the activity of other insecticidal compounds by potentiation. It goes well with any insecticidal or pesticidal formulation already in use.It is prepared via the distillation of castor oil. It is also used in the form of salts for its bacteriostatic properties. It is Bio Degradable, Inhibits the Multiplication of Fungal and Bacterial Spores. Non Toxic and Eco Friendly. Broadspectum activity natural compound. Biological Role(s): antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-viral , nematicidal Plant metabolite: Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms. A variety of compounds useful as bactericides, fungicides, anti-microbial powders & insect sprays are produced from Undecylenic Acid. Undecylenic acid and its derivatives are also widely used for their natural bioactivity and fungi resistance. Undecylenic acid derivatives range is one of the safest, ecological, most economical and highly effective natural bacteriostatic and antifungal agents. It can be used in combination with Heptaldehyde and Oenanthol sodium bisulphite. It is effective in controlling fungal Diseases & bacterial Diseases of All crops. Undecylenic acid in combination with Heptaldehyde may be used in the usual ways that insecticides are used for destroying insects or pests. Undecylenic Acid and its zinc soaps are used as fungicides in medicine and agriculture. The acid is widely used in the synthesis of insect pheromones. Methyl undecylenate, a derivative of undecylenic acid, is used in the manufacture of synthetic insect pheromones. The advantages of these compounds are that they are safe, inexpensive and have long shelf life. So can be stored for an indefinitely long time until there is need for its use.
