Paladin, un nuevo fumigante de suelos basado en dimetildisulfuro (DMDS), está un paso más cerca de la distribución mundial, ya que Arkema y Certis han firmado un acuerdo exclusivo de desarrollo y distribución conjunta en Europa.
Paladin, a pre-plant fumigant for modern and sustainable soil pest control, was developed by Arkema’s R&D teams as a product to replace worldwide substitution of old fumigants, which are being gradually withdrawn due to ozone depletion or regulatory restrictions.
Under the agreement, Certis will be Arkema’s exclusive partner for the development, registration and distribution of Paladin in Europe. Arkema will initiate the EU approval process of DMDS by submitting a regulatory application by the end of 2012.
DMDS ya se ha registrado como fumigante de suelos en los EE.UU. e Israel en 2010 y en Marruecos en 2011. Europa es otro objetivo clave para el registro.
In the meantime, should Paladin be authorized by way of derogation by national authorities on some European markets, Certis Europe and Arkema are “ready to supply these specific needs.”
Arkema produce DMDS en su planta de Lacq en el sur de Francia.
