Basic chemical and physical data: |
The pure Atrazine is white crystal, m.p. 173 – 175℃, vapor pressure 0.04mPa, solubility in water: 70mg/l (20℃); in ether: 12g/l (20°C); in methanol: 18g/l (27°C); in n-pentane: 36mg/l (27°C); in chloroform: 52g/l (27°C). This material is stable in normal conditions, but it will decompose in strong acid or strong base, especially at high temperature. This material is non-flammable, non-explosive, and non-corrosive. |
|
Usage: |
Atrazine is used as a selective triazine herbicide. It is pre-emergence or early post-emergence herbicide effective against most annual broad leave weeds and annual grasses in maize, sugar cane etc. |
|
Toxicity: |
The acute oral LD50 for rats is around 4000mg/kg, the acute dermal LD50 for rabbits is more than 2150mg/kg. |
|
Storage: |
Atrazine shall be stored in a cool, dry and well ventilated place. It should not be stored or transported along with foods. |
|
Package: |
25kg woven bag, or 500kg big- bag, or according to the customer’s requirements. |
|
Attention: |
1. Atrazine is not suitable for the fields of peach, rice, wheat, soybean, as these crops are sensitive to Atrazine.
2. The soil surface shall be flat before the application of Atrazine.
3. Atrazine is classified by the WHO as a pesticide unlikely to present acute hazard in normal uses. But people shall protect themselves when they formulate and use Atrazine.
