Description: |
| Paraquat salts are
colorless, white, or pale yellow crystalline solids, which are
hygroscopic and odorless. the dichloride salt is stable except under
alkaline conditions. The formulated technical grade product is a
dark red solution with an ammonia-like odor. It is corrosive to
metals, will react with strong oxidizers, and tends to be
light-sensitive. Paraquat is stable to heat when in acid or
neutral solutions, but is hydrolyzed by alkali solutions. Paraquat
decomposes at high temperatures to form toxic gases and vapors such
as hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and carbon
monoxide. Its molecular weight is 257.18.
Usage:กก |
| A quartenary nitrogen
herbicide widely used for broadleaf weed control. It is a quick
acting, non-selective compound, that destroys green plant tissue on
