AMPAC has intellectual property rights to the use of sodium azide as the active ingredient in SEP® 100, a proprietary formulation that functions as a safe broad-spectrum pesticide. It is an effective zero ozone depletion potential replacement for ozone-depleting methyl bromide as it performs well as a fungicide (controlling fungus), nematicide (controlling nematodes), herbicide (controlling weeds or other unwanted plants) and a bacteriacide (controlling unwanted bacteria in the soil). Its approval by the U.S. EPA and other regulatory bodies is pending.
