Sesone or Crag pesticide is a colorless, odor-
less, and crystalline solid. It’s a noncombustible solid, but
commercial products may be formulated using flammable
organic solvents, which can change the physical properties
shown here.
Crystalline solid. Soluble in
water.
Colorless to white crystalline, odorless solid. Mp: 245°C (with decomposition). Manufacture discontinued in 1994 by Rhone-Poulenc Ag Co.
Gastrointestinal irritant. Questionable car-
cinogen.
Used as corrosion inhibitor, pharma-
ceutical intermediate and emulsifier. A potential danger
to those involved in manufacture, formulation and applica-
tion of this herbicide as well as citizens in the area of
application.
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and inducevomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.
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 oxidizers and acids. Where possible, automatically pump liquid from drums or other storagecontainers to process containers.
UN3345 Phenoxyacetic acid derivative pesticide,
solid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous
materials.
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, and epoxides.
Sesone is hydrolyzed by
alkali to NaHSO4 and apparently dichlorophenoxyethanol.
In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations
for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must
be disposed properly by following package label directions
or by contacting your local or federal environmental control
agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
