Physical & Safety Data

Physical Properties

Molecular weight:162.3; Physical form:Colourless crystals. Density:1.37 ( tech.); Composition:94% pure. Melting point:104-105 °C ( decomp.; tech. grade); Vapour pressure:0.37 at 20 °C; Henry constant:2.00×10-5 Pa m3 mol-1 ( calc.). Partition coefficient(n-octanol and water):logP = 0.15 ( pH 7); Solubility:In water 3 g/ kg (20 °C). In cyclohexane 400, chloroform 391, acetone 173, benzene 51, ethanol 15, diethyl ether 6 (all in g/ kg, 20 °C). Stability:Stable at temperatures up to 35 °C. Sensitive to temperatures >50 °C, and to moisture. Hydrolysed in acidic media to carbon disulfide, formaldehyde, and methylamine. Soluble in organic solvents.

Toxicology

Oral:Acute oral LD₅₀ for rats 520, male mice 455, female mice 710, rabbits 320-620 mg/kg. Percutaneous:Acute percutaneous LD₅₀ for rats >2000 mg/kg; DP formulation is a skin and eye irritant to rabbits. Inhalation: LC₅₀ (4 h) for rats 8.4 mg/l air. Phytotoxicity:Highly phytotoxic to all green plants. Treated soils should not be planted until shown to be free of dazomet and its

Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Algae: EC₅₀ (96 h) for Scenedesmus subspicatus 1.0 mg/l.Bees:Not toxic to bees when used as directed.Birds: LD₅₀ for bobwhite quail 415 mg/kg b.w. LC₅₀ for bobwhite quail 1850, mallard ducks >5000 mg/kg diet.Daphnia: EC₅₀ (48 h) 0.3 mg/l.Fish:50 (96 h) 0.16 mg/l.Other aquatic spp.:EC₁₀ (17 h) for Pseudomonas putida 1.8 mg/l.
Environmental fate:
Soil:In soil, in the presence of moisture, undergoes degradation to methyl(methylaminomethyl)dithiocarbamic acid, which then undergoes further degradation to methyl isothiocyanate, formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, and methylamine. See N. Drescher & S. Otto, 0.01 ppm in the fruit.
WATER SOLUBILITY: 3 g/kg at 20° C.
