Light Yellow Oil

Fungicide. Antimicrobial agent

ChEBI: A member of the class of 1,2-thiazole that is 1,2-thiazol-3-one substituted on the nitrogen (position 2) by an octyl group. A fungicide and antibacterial agent, it is used for treatment of canker and other fungal and bacterial diseases in fruit trees. It i no longer approved for use within the European Union.

Fungicide. Biocide in cooling-tower water, paints, cutting oils, cosmetics and shampoo; for leather preservation.

Clear dark amber liquid. Used as a fungicide.

2-OCTYL-3-ISOTHIAZOLONE(26530-20-1) reacts as an isothiocyanate. Isothiocyanates are incompatible with many classes of compounds, reacting exothermically to release toxic gases. Reactions with amines, aldehydes, alcohols, alkali metals, ketones, mercaptans, strong oxidizers, hydrides, phenols, and peroxides can cause vigorous releases of heat.

Insoluble in water.

Isothiazolone/isothiocyanate/heteroaramatic fungicide and microbiocide used on textiles, in metalworking fluids, and some water thinned paints. Its use as a fungicide on cotton was canceled in the United States and the tolerances were revoked in 1998.

This chemical is probably combustible.

Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth methods if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device? Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In the case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical observation is recommended for 24
48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy.

UN2922 Corrosive liquids, toxic, n.o.s., Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material, 6.1-Poisonous materials.

Oxidizers. Contact with hydrogen peroxide may form explosive material. Isothiocyanates are incompatible with many classes of compounds, reacting exothermically to release toxic gases. Reactions with amines, aldehydes, alcohols, alkali metals, ketones, mercaptans, strong oxidizers, hydrides, phenols, and peroxides can cause vigorous releases of heat. Ketones behave a weak acid. Forms water soluble alkali metal salts. Ketones are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases. The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable hydrogen gas and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, nitric acid, and perchloric acid.

This isothiazolione, octylisothiazolinone, is contained in relatively fewer products than other isothiazolinones.

Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal. Under 40 CFR 261.5 small quantity generators of this waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous waste regulations.

Nonflammable
