Physical & Safety Data

Physical Properties

Molecular weight:241.4; Physical form:White powder. Density:1.15 (20 °C); Composition:Tech. is 97% pure. Melting point:118-120 °C; Vapour pressure:0.165 mPa (25 °C) ( OECD 104); Henry constant:1.2 × 10-3 Pa m3 mol-1 ( calc.); Partition coefficient(n-octanol and water):logP = 3.1 (25 °C, unionised); pKa:4.1, weak base; Solubility:In water 33 3 mg/l (25 °C). In acetone 300, ethanol 140, hexane 6.3, toluene 200, n-octanol 110 (all in g/l, 25 °C).; Stability:Stable to hydrolysis at 20 °C in neutral, slightly acidic or slightly alkaline media. Hydrolysed by warm acids and alkalis. Decomposed by u.v. irradiation.

Toxicology

Oral:Acute oral LD₅₀ for rats >2000 mg/ kg. Percutaneous:Acute percutaneous LD₅₀ for rats >3100, rabbits >2020 mg/kg. Not irritant to skin and slightly irritant to eyes of rabbits. Not a skin sensitiser (guinea pigs). Inhalation: LC₅₀ (4 h) for rats >5170 mg/m³. Phytotoxicity:Used as a directed spray on cotton while young, to avoid foliar injury. ADI:Not established, not used in crops.

Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Algae: EC₅₀ (5 d) for Selenastrum capricornutum 0.023 mg/l.Bees:Not toxic to bees. 50 (oral) >99µg/bee; (contact) >130µg/bee.Birds:Dietary LC₅₀ (8 d) for bobwhite quail >5000, mallard ducks >500 ppm.Daphnia:LC₅₀ (48 h) 12.66 mg/l.Fish:LC₅₀ (96 h) for rainbow trout 5.5, bluegill sunfish 7.9 mg/l.Worms:LC₅₀ (14 d) for earthworms 153 mg/ kg soil.Other aquatic spp.: EC₅₀ for mysid shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) 1.7 mg/l.

Environmental fate:
Animals:For metabolism in rats and rabbits, see C. Boehme & F. Baer, Food Cosmet. Toxicol., 1967, 5, 23.Soil:In soil, microbial degradation takes place, with oxidation of the methylthio group to hydroxy metabolites, and dealkylation of the side-chains. Median DT₅₀ in soil 50 d (14-158 d). K_oc 400, indicatingPlant:Metabolised by tolerant plants, and, to a lesser extent, by sensitive plants, by oxidation of the methylthio group to hydroxy metabolites, and by dealkylation of the side-chains. Degradation in plants is generally slow. SOIL PARTICLE ADSORPTION: Approx. 3 months residual activity at 2 kg/ha WATER SOLUBILITY: 33 ppm at 20°C HAZARDS: Fish: LC₅₀ 10.0 mg/l (96 h) (bluegill), 2.5 mg/l (rainbow trout). Bee: Nontoxic
