General Description
Technical CYHEXATIN(13121-70-5) is a nearly odorless white crystalline powder that has no true melting point but degrades to bis(tricyclohexyl)tin oxide at 121 to 131°C which decomposes at 228°C; a melting point of 195-198°C is also reported. Very insoluble in water (less than 1 mg/L at 25°C), but wettable by water. Soluble in some organic solvents (acetone 1.3 g/L; xylenes 3.6 g/L; carbon tetrachloride 28 g/L; dichloromethane 34 g/L). Used as an acaricide (an agent to kill plant-feeding mites) in almonds, walnuts, hops and some fruits.
Reactivity Profile
CYHEXATIN is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Soluble in some organic solvents (acetone 1.3 g/L; xylenes 3.6 g/L; carbon tetrachloride 28 g/L; dichloromethane 34 g/L). Stable in aqueous suspensions in neutral and alkaline pH (above pH 6), but reacts exothermically as a base in the presence of strong acids to form salts. Converts to dicyclohexyltin oxide and further to cyclohexylstannoic acid upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Potential Exposure
Used as an agricultural chemical and
pesticide. A potential danger to those involved in the manu-
facture, formulation, and application of this acaricide
(miticide).
First aid
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 method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respira-
tion 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 case of contact
with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with run-
ning 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 obser-
vation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing
overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As
first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized para-
medic may consider administering a drug or other inhala-
tion therapy.

Description
Cyhexatin is a colorless to white, nearly odorless, crystalline powder. Molecular weight=385.16;Boiling point=227℃(decomposes); Freezing/Meltingpoint=195-198℃. Practically insoluble in water
Chemical Properties
Cyhexatin is a colorless to white, nearly odor-
less, crystalline powder.
Uses
Cyhexatin is a derivative of tricyclohexyltin and an effective acaricide used in the control of spider mites.
Uses
Cyhexatin is used to control the motile stages of phytophagous
mites on pome and stone fruit, vines, hops, cotton, vegetables and
ornament ah.
Definition
ChEBI: Cyhexatin is an organotin acaricide.
Metabolic pathway
There is little published information of the degradation and metabolism
of cyhexatin. However, useful information on the fate of cyhexatin in a
water/sediment system can be deduced from published data on
azoc yclotin.
storage
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with thischemical you should be trained on its proper handling andstorage. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dark,well-ventilated area away from oxidizers.
Degradation
Cyhexatin is stable to hydrolysis at temperatures up to 100 °C from
slightly acid (pH 6) to alkaline conditions (PM).
