Product Overview
Amitraz (CAS 33089-61-1), also known as Mitac or Amitraz, is a formamidine-class acaricide/insecticide. It appears as white to off-white crystalline powder or colorless needle-like crystals with a faint amine odor. As a broad-spectrum pesticide, it features contact and fumigation actions, effective against mites, ticks, and certain insect pests. Manufactured via advanced synthesis and purification, it offers high purity, low impurities, and stable batch consistency, widely applied in agriculture, animal husbandry, and veterinary fields. For legitimate industrial formulation, agricultural use, and veterinary applications only.
Product Features
- High Purity: HPLC ≥98.0% / ≥99.0%, strictly controlled moisture and related impurities.
- Broad-Spectrum Activity: Kills mite eggs, nymphs, adults; also controls ticks, lice, and some lepidopteran pests.
- Dual Action Modes: Contact + fumigation; works on target pests via direct contact and vapor action.
- Good Thermal Stability: Stable at normal temperatures; suitable for formulation and storage.
- Selective Toxicity: High efficacy against pests, relatively safe for mammals and beneficial insects.
- Strict QC: Full batch testing; standard COA, HPLC, and MSDS available.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties

- Reactivity: Undergoes hydrolysis in strong acid; stable in neutral/weakly alkaline environments.
- Thermal Decomposition: Decomposes above 300 °C, releasing toxic nitrogen oxides.
- Incompatibility: Avoid strong acids, strong oxidants, and moisture.
Applications
- Agricultural Acaricide: Controls mites on citrus, cotton, fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants; highly effective against citrus red mites.
- Veterinary Parasiticide: Eliminates ticks, mites, lice, and mange on livestock (cattle, sheep, pigs) and pets (dogs, cats).
- Crop Pest Control: Targets cotton bollworm, pink bollworm, and other lepidopteran larvae.
- Horticulture & Floriculture: Protects flowers, strawberries, and greenhouse crops from mite infestations.
- Formulation Intermediate: Used to prepare emulsifiable concentrates (EC), wettable powders (WP), and pour-on veterinary formulations.
Usage Restriction: For agricultural and veterinary use only. Strictly forbidden for illegal processing or non-target applications.
Storage & Transportation Instructions
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and photodegradation. Away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong acids. Recommended storage temperature: -20 °C (freezer) for long-term storage; 2–8 °C for short-term use.
Transportation Requirements: Transport as general hazardous chemical (Class 6.1, Toxic). Avoid violent collision, extrusion, and rain. Do not transport with food, feed, or strong acids/oxidants.
Operation Notes: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and dust mask. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhalation, skin/eye contact, or ingestion.
Regulatory Information
This product is a formamidine acaricide/insecticide, compliant with global agricultural and veterinary chemical standards. Domestic sales and cross-border export must follow local pesticide/veterinary drug regulations. Transactions limited to qualified agrochemical formulators, farms, and veterinary pharmaceutical enterprises.
