Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name DELTA-METHRIN.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Deltamethrin

Deltamethrin is a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester obtained by formal condensation between 3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methanol. It is the active insecticide of the proinsecticide tralomethrin. It has a role as an antifeedant, an agrochemical, an EC 3.1.3.16 (phosphoprotein phosphatase) inhibitor, a calcium channel agonist and a pyrethroid ester insecticide. It is a nitrile, an aromatic ether, an organobromine compound and a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester. It is functionally related to a cis-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid. — ChEBI
