Alpha-cypermethrin By G.s.p. Corp Science Pvt. Ltd.

We are the popular manufacturer and supplier of Alpha-cypermethrin in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Alpha-cypermethrin is a highly active pyrethroid insecticide, effective against a wide range of pests encountered in agriculture and animal husbandry. It is supplied as emulsifiable concentrate, ultra-low-volume formulation, suspension concentrate and in mixtures with other insecticides. The technical product is a crystalline powder with good solubility in acetone, cyclohexanone and xylene, but its solubility in water is low. It is stable under acidic and neutral conditions. HUMAN EXPOSURE: Exposure of the general population to alpha-cypermethrin is negligible, provided its use follows good agricultural practice. With good work practices, hygiene measures, and safety precautions, the use of alpha-cypermethrin is unlikely to present a hazard to those occupationally exposed to it. The occurrence of "facial sensations" is an indication of exposure. Under these circumstances work practices should be reviewed. ANIMAL STUDIES: Alpha-cypermethrin has moderate to high acute oral toxicity to rodents. Acute oral exposure results in clinical signs associated with central nervous system activity. Technical alpha-cypermetrhrin has been reported to be minimally irritating to rabbit skin. Some formulations cause severe eye irritations. In guinea-pigs, alpha-cypermethrin caused stimulation of sensory nerve-endings in the skin.
