96-45-7

white powder

2-Imidazolidinethione(96-45-7) is a pesticide used in production of fruits and vegetables. It is also used as a new contrast agent for MRI studies based on proton chemical exchange dependent saturation transfe r. 2-Imidazolidinethione is also a corrosion inhibitor due to the adsorption of the mol. species.

elastomer accelerator;chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) rubber vulcanizing accelerator agent

Accelerator in synthetic rubber production.

White to pale green crystals or an off-white solid. Odorless when pure, but technical product may have an amine odor.

ETHYLENE THIOUREA(96-45-7) may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. Incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents. Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas. May react with acids to liberate hydrogen sulfide.

Slightly soluble in water.

Questionable carcinogen.

Ethylene thiourea(96-45-7) is used extensively as an accelerator in the curing of polychloroprene (Neoprene) and other elastomers; as a vulcanizing accelerator in rubber processing; in electroplating baths. In addition, exposure to ethylene thiourea also results from the very widely used ethylene bisdithiocarbamate fungicides. Ethylene thiourea may be present as a contaminant in the ethylene bisdithiocarbamate fungicides and can also be formed when food containing the fungicides is cooked

This chemical is combustible.

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

UN2811 Toxic solids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required

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, acid anhydrides, and acrolein

Ethylenethiourea, a thiourea derivative, is a rubber chemical. It has caused contact dermatitis mainly in rubber workers.

Incineration in a furnace equipped with afterburner and scrubber.

ChEBI: Ethylenethiourea is a member of imidazolidines.

Ethylene thiourea (ETU) is an antithyroid substance and animal carcinogen.

Nonflammable

Ethylene thiourea is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.

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, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizers, acids, acidanhydrides, acrolein. Store in a refrigerator or a cool, dryplace. A regulated, marked area should be establishedwhere this chemical is handled, used, or stored in compliance with OSHA Standard 1910.1045.

Crystallise it from EtOH or amyl alcohol. [Beilstein 24 III/IV 22.]
