Physics and chemical properties:

1. Sterling is white scale crystal, almost insoluble in water(10mg/L at 20 °C), and hardly soluble in cold alcohol and benzene, but it can soluble in diethyl ether, chloroform, hexane, methylene dichloride and hot benzene.
2. Stable in alkaline medium, and not influenced by light, heat and air.
3. It can storage for 3 years under the cool, shade and dry conditions.
Toxicity:
Triacontanol is a naturally occurring plant growth promoter, and it is also a new type of plant hornones dose not influence ecological environment,so it is no poison to human and animals, and no irritability.

Functions and application:
Triacontanol is a broad-spectrum-based plant growth regulator, it can be absorbed by plants stems and leaves.
1. Triacontanol act as a photosynthesis enhancer, light is a primary source of nutritions, it can activate secondary messengers leading to enhanced enzymatic activities in plants that increase the brix level in fruit.
2. It can promote seed germination and the form of root, leaf.
3. It can increase cell division rates leading to production of larger root and shoot mass.
4. Promote division of bud and flower, protect blossoms and fruits.
5. Increasing fruits forming rate and promote mature earlier.
6. Increase resistance ability to drought.
