Dow And Taminco Strike Choline Deal

August 19, 2013 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 91, Issue 33

Taminco, the world’s largest producer of alkylamines, has reached an agreement to supply the amine derivative choline hydroxide to Dow Chemical as a raw material for making 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) choline. Dow has long sold 2,4-D as a broad-spectrum herbicide. The new product, 2,4-D choline, offers better handling, less volatility, and less particle drift, Dow says. It will be sold as part of Enlist Duo, a combination of 2,4-D choline and crop seeds genetically modified to resist the herbicide. Enlist Duo is now being reviewed by USDA.
