General Description
Yellow solid. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
CLONITRALID(1420-04-8) is hydrolyzed by concentrated acid or alkali.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Potential Exposure
Niclosamide, the parent chemical, is a relatively selective, noncumulative chlorinated aromatic amide pesticide. Clonitralid (ethanolamine salt of niclosamide) is used principally against molluscs, especially fresh water snails and to control sea lamprey larvae and also as an antiparasitic drug in human, pets, and livestock. Niclosamide is toxic to all fish species at 0.5 mg/L (48 hours). A restricted use pesticide in the United States. Limited to use by a certified applicator . Not listed for use in EU countries.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for this chemical are not available. CLONITRALID is probably combustible.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouthto-mouth 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. 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 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.
Shipping
UN2588 Pesticides, solid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required. UN2902 Pesticides, liquid, toxic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Hydrolyzed by strong acids, and alkalies. Slowly hydrolyzes in water, releasing ammonia and forming acetate salts. Decomposes at B200-205°C.
Chemical Properties
Depending on purity, a bright yellow or brownish-yellow crystalline solid or powder. Odorless. Soluble in water
Waste Disposal
Do not discharge into drains or sewers. 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. Burn in incinerator specifically designed for pesticide disposal or dispose as a hazardous waste in a landfill approved and licensed for the disposal of pesticides. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material’s impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations
Uses
The ethanolamine salt as a molluscicide.
