Bendiocarb is an odorless, white crystalline solid. Some of the formulations of bendiocarb are classii ed as a GUP, while Turcam and its 2.5 G formulation have been classii ed as a RUP. Bendiocarb is stable under normal temperatures and pressures, but should not be mixed with alkaline preparations. Thermal decomposition products may include toxic oxides of nitrogen. It is non-corrosive. Bendiocarb as a carbamate insecticide is effective against a wide range of insects that cause nuisance and act as disease vectors. It is used to control mosquitoes, l ies, wasps, ants, l eas, cockroaches, silveri sh, ticks, and other pests in homes, industrial plants, and food storage sites. In agriculture, it is used against a vari- ety of insects, especially those in the soil. Bendiocarb is also used as a seed treatment on sugar beets and maize and against snails and slugs. Pesticides containing bendiocarb are formulated as dusts, granules, ultra-low volume sprays, and as wettable powders

White solid. Melting point 265°F (129-30°C). Insoluble in water. Used as a contact insecticide.

BENDIOCARB(22781-23-3) 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.

Insoluble in water.

Poison by ingestion, skin absorption.

Bendiocarb is moderately toxic if ingested or absorbed through the skin. Absorption through the skin is the most likely route of exposure. Bendiocarb is absorbed through all the normal routes (oral, dermal, and inhalation) of exposure, but dermal absorption is especially rapid. Carbamates are generally excreted rapidly and do not accumulate in mammalian tissue. If exposure does not continue, cholinesterase inhibition and its symptoms reverse rapidly. In non-fatal cases, the illness generally lasts less than 24 h. Bendiocarb is moderately toxic to birds. The LD50 in mallard ducks and quail is 3.1 and 19 mg/kg, respectively. Bendiocarb is moderately to highly toxic to i sh. The LC50 (96 h) for bendiocarb in rainbow trout is 1.55 mg/L. Bendiocarb is a mild irritant to the skin and eyes. Symptoms of bendiocarb poisoning include, but are not limited to, weakness, blurred vision, headache, nausea, abdominal cramps, chest discomfort, constriction of pupils, sweating, muscle tremors, and decreased pulse. Prolonged exposures to high concentrations of bendiocarb cause severe poisoning with symptoms of twitching, giddiness, confusion, muscle incoordination, slurred speech, low blood pressure, heart irregularities, and loss of rel exes may also be experienced. Death can result from respiratory arrest, paralysis of the muscles of the respiratory system, intense constriction of the openings of the lung, or all three. In one case of exposure while applying bendiocarb, the victim experienced symptoms of severe headache, vomiting, and excessive salivation, and his cholinesterase level was depressed by 63%. He recovered from these symptoms in less than 3 h with no medical treatment and his cholinesterase level returned to normal within 24 h. In another case, poisoning occurred when an appli- cator, who was not wearing protective equipment, attempted to clean contaminated equip- ment. The victim experienced nausea, vomiting, incoordination, pain in his arms, hands, and legs, muscle spasms, and breathing difi culties. Bendiocarb is readily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and is rapidly metabolized.

A potential danger to those involved in the manufacture, formulation and application of this carbamate insecticide which is used against household pests, in agriculture in seed treatment, and as a foliar spray.

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. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Shampoo hair. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

Carbamates are incompatible with reducing agents, strong acids, oxidizing acids, peroxides, and bases. Contact with active metals or nitrides cause the 360 Bendiocarb release of flammable, and potentially explosive, hydrogen gas. May react violently with bromine, ketones. Incompatible with azo dyes, caustics, ammonia, amines, boranes, hydrazines, strong oxidizers. Keep away from flammable materials and sources of heat and flame.

Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office. Dispose in accordance with 40CFR165 recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers.

Bendiocarb is a benzodioxolyl carbamate derivative. Bendiocarb is commonly used as an insecticide in agriculture against a wide range of pests and insects. Bendiocarb is one of the insecticides recomm ended by world health organization (WHO) for use in malaria control.

Bendiocarb is a contact and ingested insecticide with some systemic activity in crop plants. It is active against many public health, industrial and storage pests such as Formicidae, Blattodae, Culicidae, Muscidae and Siphonaptera.

Contact insecticide used to control beetles, wireworms, flies, wasps and mosquitoes in beets and maize.

Contact insecticide.

ChEBI:Bendiocarb is a carbamate ester and a member of benzodioxoles. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor, a carbamate insecticide and an agrochemical. It is functionally related to a methylcarbamic acid.

Soil. Though no products were identified, the reported half-life in soil is several days to a few weeks (Hartley and Kidd, 1987). When soil containing bendiocarb was incubated for 4 weeks, the amount remaining was 30.4–47.2% of the applied amount. After one application, the amount of bendiocarb recovered was only 0.9–1.3% (Racke and Coates, 1988). Biodegradation of bendiocarb in soil was enhanced if the soil was pretreated with carbofuran or trimethacarb (Dzantor and Felsot, 1989).
Plant. At planting, bendiocarb was applied at a rate of 1.7 kg/ha. During harvest (110 days following planting), the residues of bendiocarb found in corn (leaves and stems), husks, cobs and kernels were 12, 5, 4 and 3 ppb, respectively. At an app
Chemical/Physical. Bendiocarb is stable to light but in water hydrolyzes to 2,3- isopropylidenedioxyphenol, methylamine and carbon dioxide. The hydrolysis half-life at pH 7 and 25°C is 4 days (Worthing and Hance, 1991).

Pathways of bendiocarb metabolism in mammals include hydrolysis to the benzodioxol-4-ol, hydroxylation of the phenyl ring, hydroxylation at the N-methyl moiety and conjugation. Extensive pathways reported for the structurally related carbofuran are not reported for bendiocarb partly because hydroxylation and subsequent oxidation and conjugation at the 3-position is not possible in bendiocarb although it is a major pathway for carbofuran. No domation is available for the metabolism of bendiocarb in plants.

Store at Room temperature

Bendiocarb undergoes base-catalysed hydrolysis but is more stable in neutral or acidic conditions. The products of hydrolysis are 2,2-dimethyl- 1,3-benzodioxol-4-ol(2), methylamine and CO2. Its DT₅₀ at ph 7 and 25 °C is 4 days (PM).
