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 heat. Also, avoid contact withoxidizers (such as peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, perchlorates, and nitrates).
UN2783 Organophosphorus pesticides, solid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials. UN3018 Organophosphorus pesticides, liquid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Contact with oxidizers may cause the release of phosphorous oxides. Contact with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides, may cause the formation of flammable and toxic phosphine gas. Decomposes on heating, forming corrosive and toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride and nitrogen and phosphorous oxides. Incompatible with strongly alkaline and strongly acidic media. Unstable over long periods in aqueous preparations or above 60°C.
Crufomate decomposes above pH 7.0 in alkaline media. 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
