Description

Mcpa Sodium CAS NO 3653-48-3 is the sodium salt form of MCPA, a widely used phenoxy herbicide. This formulation offers enhanced solubility and stability for more effective and convenient agricultural applications. It is primarily utilized by agrochemical manufacturers and formulators for the production of selective weed control products targeting broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, grasslands, and turf.

Application

• Active ingredient in selective post-emergence herbicide formulations for cereals (wheat, barley, oats, rye).
• Control of broadleaf weeds (e.g., chickweed, cleavers, knotgrass) in pasture and grassland management.
• Key component in professional turf management products for lawns, golf courses, and sports fields.
• Manufacture of ready-to-use liquid concentrates and soluble powder/granule formulations.
• Use in forestry for site preparation and vegetation management.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other MCPA ester derivatives and specialized agrochemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking and reduced stability.
