• In crystallized form, 1,2,4 triazole sodium salt possesses a high degree of purity and flow remarkably freely.

Markets and applications

Thanks to the anti-fungal properties of triazoles, these products are essential building blocks for the synthesis of:

• Active ingredients for phytosanitary, and agrochemical products
• Active ingredients for pharmaceutical (API) and veterinary products

3-amino-1,2,4 triazole itself is used as:

• An herbicide, especially in vineyards and orchards,
• An intermediate for the synthesis of dyes, lubricants, anticorrosion products and active ingredients for pharmaceuticals.

AGBC can be used in dyes, lubricants and API synthesis and also for purification stages, for instance to eliminate undesirable aldehydes.
