Chemical Properties
White crystalline solid.
General Description
Fluroxypyr-1-methylheptyl ester is a selective post-emergent and systemic herbicide.
Potential Exposure
Those who manufacture, distribute or
use this pyridinecarboxylic acid/pyridine herbicide.
Shipping
UN3077 Environmentally hazardous substances,
solid, n.o.s., Hazard class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous haz ardous material, Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities
May not be compatible with nitrates.
Moisture may cause hydrolysis or other forms of decompo sition; forming a strong acid. Temperatures above 250℃ can cause decomposition. Methyl ester: Esters react with
acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong
oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is suffi ciently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is
also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solu tions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters
with alkali metals and hydrides.
Waste Disposal
Containers must be disposed
of properly by following package label directions or by
contacting your local or federal environmental control
agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent
and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an after burner and scrubber. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow
recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesti cide containers.
