Chemical Name: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Formula: C8H6Cl2O3 Molecular weight: 221.0 CAS No.: 94-75-7 Structure:
Description: Appearance: White powder. Melting Point: 104.5°C. Vapour Pressure: 1.86×10-2mPa at 20°C. Stability: Slightly soluble. Amine salts are soluble in water; isopropyl ester is insoluble. Esters are essentially insoluble, but available formulations are usually emulsifiable. Specification: 98%TC, 720SL, 860 SL. Uses: Post-emergence control of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds in cereals, maize, sorghum, grassland, established turf, grass seed crops, orchards ( fruit and stone fruit), cranberries, asparagus, sugar cane, rice, forestry, and on non-crop land (including areas adjacent to water), at 0.28-2.3 kg/ha.
