Light gray or beige powder.

CARBENDAZIM(10605-21-7) is a carbamate ester-amine. Amines behave as chemical bases. 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.

Insoluble in water. This compound slowly decomposes in alkaline solution. .

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Carbendazim is a benzimidazole/carbamate systemic fungicide used as a drench to control a broad range of fungi in cereals, vegetables, oilseed rape, sugar beets, grapes, tomatoes, pome fruit, and stone fruit. It is also used in postharvest storage and as treatment in seed preplanting, frequently in combination with other fungicides. In some areas, it has been used to combat Dutch Elm disease.

Literature sources indicate that this chemical is probably nonflammable.

Speed in removing material from eyes and skin is of extreme importance. Eyes: Eye contact can cause dangerous amounts of these chemicals to be quickly absorbed through the mucous membrane into the bloodstream. Immediately and gently flush eyes with plenty of warm or cold water (NO hot water) for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eye lids. Get medical aid immediately. Skin: Get medical aid. Dermal contact can cause dangerous amounts of these chemicals to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Wearing the appropriate PPE equipment and respirator for carbamate pesticides, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Shampoo hair promptly if contaminated; protect eyes. Ingestion: Call poison control. Loosen all clothing. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting.  If conscious, alert, and able to swallow, rinse mouth and have victim drink 4 to 8 oz of water. Check to see if poison control instructs you to use ipecac syrup, otherwise administer slurry of activated charcoal (2 oz in 8 oz of water). If victim is UNCONSCIO United States OR HAVING CONVULSIONS, do nothing except keep victim warm. In some cases you may be specifically instructed by poison control to induce vomiting by way of 2 tablespoons of syrupof ipecac (adult) washed down with a cup of water. Do NOT give activated charcoal before or with ipecac syrup. Inhalation: Get medical aid. Do not contaminate yourself. Wearing the appropriate PPE equipment and respirator for carbamate pesticides, immediately remove the victim from the contaminated area to fresh air. If the victim is not breathing, administer artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-tomouth method 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. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen through bag/mask apparatus until medical help arrives. Do not leave victim unattended.

Carbamates are incompatible with reducing agents, strong acids, oxidizing acids, peroxides, and bases. Contact with active metals or nitrides cause the release of flammable, and potentially explosive, hydrogen gas.

Carbendazim is the degradation product and active ingredient of the carbamate fungicide benomyl. Carbendazim (100 μM) disrupts the growth of S. cerevisiae by inhibiting microtubule polymerization. It impairs meiosis and steroidogenesis in an ex vivo rat model of seminiferous tubules and increases prostate weight in rats when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg but does not affect other testosterone-dependent or estrogen-dependent tissues.

Colorless crystalline solid or light-gray powder. Commercially supplied as dry concentrate that is mixed with water for spraying.

Do not discharge into drains or sewers. Dispose of waste material as hazardous waste using a licensed disposal contractor to an approved landfill. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Incineration with effluent gas scrubbing is recommended. Containers must be disposed of properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.

Carbendazim is the most widely used active ingredient in the benzimidazole class of fungicides. It is a systemic fungicide with both protective and curative activities against a wide range of fungal diseases, especially caused by most Ascomycetes spp. and some Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes spp. in a wide variety of crop and ornamental uses.

Is a fungicide.

ChEBI: A member of the class of benzimidazoles that is 2-aminobenzimidazole in which the primary amino group is substituted by a methoxycarbonyl group. A fungicide, carbendazim controls Ascomycetes, Fungi Imperfecti, and Basidiomy etes on a wide variety of crops, including bananas, cereals, cotton, fruits, grapes, mushrooms, ornamentals, peanuts, sugarbeet, soybeans, tobacco, and vegetables.

Fungicide: Carbendazim is a systemic fungicide used as a drench to control a broad range of fungi in cereals, vegetables, oilseed rape, sugar beets, grapes, tomatoes, pome fruit and stone fruit. It is also used in post-harvest storage and as treatment in seed pre-planting, frequently in combination with other fungicides. In some areas, it has been used to combat Dutch elm disease.

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) or tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17) plays an important role in B cell development, function and regulation. BCMA also has the capability to activate nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), janus kinase (JNK) and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The protein is expressed in certain cancers like glioblastoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma. It has a role in the maintenance of survival of long-lived plasma cells in bone marrow.

When the mites are exposed to 14C-carbendazim, the major carbendazim metabolite identified in the bulb mites is 5-hydroxy-2-aminobenzimidazole. Low levels of 2-aminobenzimidazole and 5-hydroxy-2- benzimidazole carbamate are also identified.

Carbendazim (MBC, 1) was stable in acidic and neutral solutions (pH 5-7, DT₅₀≥57 days at 22°C), but decomposed rapidly with a DT₅₀ of 22 days (WHO, 1993b) to yield 2-aminobenzimidazole (2, Watluns, 1976; Zbozinek, 1984) under alkaline conditions (pH 9). An increase in the salinity of the water accelerated the degradation rate of MBC in water (Deshpande and Patil, 1987).
Photolysis of MBC in natural sunlight is not a significant dissipation mechanism in the environment. Significant degradation did not occur either on leaf surfaces exposed to natural sunlight or in unamended dilute aqueous solution. Degradation occurred in solution under natural sunlight if photoinitiators such as riboflavin or acetone were present (Fleeker and Lacy, 1977).
