Description

Metamitron CAS NO 41394-05-2 is a selective herbicide belonging to the triazinone chemical class. This compound matters for its effective pre- and post-emergence control of a broad spectrum of weeds, particularly in key agricultural crops. It is primarily needed by the agrochemical industry for formulating crop protection products, with its major application being in sugar beet cultivation.

Application

• Primary Herbicide in Sugar Beet: Selective control of annual broadleaf and grass weeds in sugar beet fields.
• Cereal Crop Protection: Used in formulations for weed management in wheat and barley.
• Agrochemical Formulation: Serves as the active technical ingredient (TC) in the manufacturing of emulsifiable concentrates (EC), wettable powders (WP), and suspension concentrates (SC).
• Industrial & Non-Crop Use: Employed for vegetation control in non-agricultural areas such as railways and industrial sites.
• Research & Development: Used as a reference standard and intermediate in agricultural chemical R&D.

Quality Control

Our Metamitron is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for agrochemical formulation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and reliability for your production processes.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
