White, crystalline solid.Soluble in most organic solvents.
Prothoate is an amber to yellow crystalline
solid with a camphor-like odor.
ChEBI: Prothoate is an organic thiophosphate.
Colorless crystalline solid, with a camphor-like odor. Technical product is an amber to yellow semi-solid. Used as an insecticide and an acaricide.
Organothiophosphates, such as PROTHOATE, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
Toxic by ingestion and skin absorption,
cholinesterase inhibitor.
This is a highly toxic material capable of causing death or permanent injury due to exposures during normal use. Small doses at frequent intervals are additive. Similar to parathion.
(Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) Container may explode in heat of fire. Fire and runoff from fire control water may produce irritating or poisonous gases.
A potential danger to those involved
in the manufacture, formulation and application of the sys-
temic acaricide and insecticide.
UN2783 Organophosphorus pesticides, solid,
toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Organophosphates are susceptible to for-
mation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the
presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrideds and
active metals. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may
result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides
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, mercap-
tans, nitrides, and sulfides (releasing heat, toxic and possi-
bly flammable gases), thiosulfates and dithionites (releasing
hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur).
In accordance with
40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of
pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed prop-
erly by following package label directions or by contacting
your local or federal environmental control agency, or by
contacting your regional EPA office.
