Chemical Properties
Fluenetil is a crystalline solid.
General Description
Solid. Formerly used as an acaricide and insecticide. No longer made. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S.
Air & Water Reactions
Probably water insoluble.
Reactivity Profile
FLUENETIL is a fluorinated ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Health Hazard
Fluenitil is highly toxic to mammals.
Potential Exposure
This material has been used as an
acaricide and insecticide. Its main use was as a dormant
spray for orchard fruit. It is no longer made or registered as
a pesticide in the U.S.
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.
Shipping
UN2588 Pesticides, solid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1;
Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.
UN2811 Toxic solids, organic, 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 explo sions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Moisture may cause mate rial to hydrolyze. Compounds of the carboxyl group react
with all bases, both inorganic and organic (i.e., amines)
releasing substantial heat, water and a salt that may be
harmful. Incompatible with arsenic compounds (releases
hydrogen cyanide gas), diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates,
isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides (releasing
heat, toxic and possibly flammable gases), thiosulfates and
dithionites (releasing hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur).
Description
Fluenetil is a crystalline solid. Molecularweight=258.31. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 3, Flammability 1,Reactivity 0.
Waste Disposal
In accordance with 40CFR
165 recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and
pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by follow ing package label directions or by contacting your local or
federal environmental control agency, or by contacting
your regional EPA office.
Uses
Fluenetil is a fluenethyl acaricide.
Definition
ChEBI: Fluenetil is a member of biphenyls.
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, wellventilated area away from nitrates and moisture.
