Chemical Properties
Colorless crystalline
Uses
Fenoxycarb is a carbamate insect growth regulator by preventing immature insects from reaching maturity by mimicking juvenile hormone.
General Description
White crystalline solid. Selective insecticide.
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
Ethyl 2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethylcarbamate is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.
Agricultural Uses
Insecticide, Miticide: Fenoxycarb is an insect growth regulator, sex attractant, or feeding stimulant. It is intended to be used to inhibit metamorphosis of juvenile insects to the adult stage. It is used as bait to control a broad spectrum of insects on olives, vines, fruit, cotton, and stored products. It is used to control fire ants, cockroaches, mosquitos, beetles, moths, scale and sucking insects.
