Atrazine herbicide technical grade

1. Product Overview
Atrazine Herbicide Technical Grade is a high-purity, systemic triazine herbicide active ingredient, designed for selective pre- and post-emergence control of broadleaf and grassy weeds in major agricultural crops. Its primary industrial application lies in large-scale crop protection for corn, sorghum, sugarcane, and pineapple plantations, where it disrupts weed photosynthesis with exceptional residual activity. Strategically critical to global food security and yield optimization, this technical grade material offers agribusinesses a cost-efficient, proven foundation for formulating suspension concentrates (SC), wettable powders (WP), and ready-to-use blends—delivering unmatched field persistence and operational reliability.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (CAS No. 1912-24-9)

• Purity level: ≥95% minimum (technical grade), with ≤0.2% moisture content

• Physical characteristics: White to off-white fine crystalline powder; bulk density 0.55–0.65 g/cm³; particle size 90% through 40-mesh sieve; melting point 173–175°C

• Packaging options: 25 kg net kraft paper bags with PE liner; 500 kg jumbo bags; 1,000 kg FIBCs (custom export palletization available)

• Shelf life: 36 months in original unopened packaging under dry, shaded conditions (≤30°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Large-scale row crop farming, agrochemical formulation manufacturing, co-op crop protection programs, and government agricultural extension services.

• Operational use cases: Pre-emergence soil application in corn and sugarcane to control foxtail, pigweed, and lambsquarters; post-emergence tank-mix partner in sorghum for residual weed suppression; non-selective fallow management in plantation crops.

• Performance advantages: Longer residual soil activity (60–90 days) than acetochlor or metolachlor alone, reducing reapplication frequency and labor costs; superior solubility in water (33 mg/L at 25°C) enabling even spray coverage; lower production cost per hectare versus newer ALS-inhibitor herbicides, making it the backbone of budget-sensitive large-acreage programs.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001:2015 certified production with HPLC batch testing; ≤2% impurity variation across shipments—engineered for reproducible formulation performance.

• Supply reliability: Multi-source raw material procurement and buffer stock holding in three regional warehouses (Asia, Americas, EMEA); force majeure protection via redundant manufacturing lines.

• Logistics capability: Dedicated hazardous cargo (Class 9, UN 3077) shipping agreements with major lines; door-to-door incoterms (FOB, CIF, CFR) with real-time GPS tracking for bulk orders.

• Price competitiveness: Direct mill pricing model removes intermediary margins; volume-based tiered discounts for 20MT+ contracts.

• Sustainability & technical support: Compliance with OECD test guidelines for environmental fate; full SDS, COA, and GHS labeling provided digitally. Formulation support (stability testing, co-formulant compatibility) available via agronomic advisory team.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 metric tons (20MT) per shipment — single product lot integrity guaranteed

• Loading capacity: 20MT per standard 20-foot dry container (18–22 pallets depending on bag size); 25MT per 40-foot container with jumbo bags
