Pure white colorless crystal. Melting point 72.5-72.8℃. The original drug is orange or light yellow aqueous solution, weak alkaline, with ammonia and hydrogen sulfide odor. Soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, acetone, insoluble in benzene. Unstable in air, aqueous solution is more stable chemically, but it is easy to decompose when the temperature is higher than 40℃, and it is also easy to decompose when it meets acidic substances.
Amobam is a fungicidal compound which is used to protect and treat vegetation. Pesticide.
ChEBI: A dithiocarbamate salt resulting from the formal reaction of ethylenebis(dithiocarbamic acid) with 2 mol eq. of ammonia. A water-soluble crystalline solid, it is a fungicide used to protect fruit, vegetable, and field crops against a wide spectrum of funga
diseases. Mixing amobam with zinc sulfate affords the fungicide zineb.
