Glyphosate Isopropylamine Salt

The benchmark glyphosate formulation traded worldwide. The isopropylamine counter-ion gives the molecule high water solubility and stronger penetration through the leaf cuticle than the sodium salt, which is why 41% SL and 62% SL are the default specifications in most import tenders.

Technical specification

Common name Glyphosate Isopropylamine Salt
Chinese name 草甘膦异丙胺盐
CAS number 38641-94-0
Molecular formula C6H17N2O5P
Molecular weight 228.18 g/mol
Chemical group Organophosphonate (glyphosate IPA salt)
Mode of action class HRAC G / WSSA 9
Formulation 41% SL

Mode of action

After dilution the salt dissociates and the glyphosate anion is the active entity. It inhibits EPSP synthase in the shikimic acid pathway, halting synthesis of aromatic amino acids. Death follows in 4-20 days, moving from meristem to root. The isopropylamine group itself improves uptake speed, giving faster and more rainfast results than sodium-salt formulations.

What it controls
