Odorless colorless crystals. Melting point 132°C.

BITOSCANATE reacts readily with amines [Noller]. These reactions may generate significant amounts of heat . Emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides when heated to decomposition [EPA, 1998].

This material is highly toxic if ingested. It is a central nervous system and gastrointestinal toxin in humans.

Those engaged in the manufacture, formulation and application of this anthelmintic compound. Incompatibilities: In general, keep away from strong oxidizers, moisture, strong acids, strong bases. This is a thiocyanate compound. Violent reactions may occur upon contact with chlorates (potassium chlorate, sodium chlorate), nitrates, nitric acid; organic peroxides.

When heated to decomposition, BITOSCANATE emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.

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 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. Medical observation 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 paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy.
