General Description
Brown waxy solid or colorless crystals. Used as a rodenticide. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S.
Reactivity Profile
CRIMIDINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Health Hazard
Super toxic; probable oral lethal dose in humans is less than 5 mg/kg or less than 7 drops for a 70 kg (150 lb.) person. May cause serious central nervous system damage leading to convulsions.
Fire Hazard
CRIMIDINE emits highly toxic chloride fumes when heated to decomposition. Avoid acids and acid fumes. Very stable in neutral medium. Avoid decomposing heat.
Potential Exposure
Crimidine is used as a rodenticide. Not registered for use in the United States as a pesticide
First aid
Eye Contact: Immediately remove any contact lenses and flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek Medical attention immediately. Skin Contact: Quickly remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash area with large amounts of water. Seek medical attention immediately. Inhalation: Remove the person from exposure, trying to avoid rapid, jerky motions or noise. Begin (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. If seizures occur, begin seizure first aid measures. Call for immediate medical attention to visit the patient prior to transfer if possible. Any facility using this chemical should have 24 hour rapid access to medical personnel with training and equipment for emergency treatment. All area employees should be trained in first aid measures for castrix, including seizure management and CPR.

storage
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with Castrixyou should be trained on its proper handling and storage.Castrix must be stored to avoid contact with strong acids(such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric) and acid fumes,since violent reactions occur. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area.
