TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible under specific conditions. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID ALL CONTACT! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
Inhalation		Ventilation (not if powder).	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Dry skin.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Safety spectacles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
WHITE CRYSTALS.

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes including sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride (see ICSC0163).

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and through the skin.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans (see Notes).

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Melting point: 177°C Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: <0.0013 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.85	This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to fish.

NOTES

If the pesticide is present under the form of a formulation containing hydrocarbon solvents, vomiting may not be induced.
If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
Acryptan, Folpan, Folpel, Phaltan, Phaltane, Thiophal, Vinicoll are trade names.
Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See section EU classification.
