BINAPACRYL

Description

Binapacryl is a nitrophenol pesticide and thedimethyl acrylic ester of dinoseb. Binapacryl is a colorless,crystalline solid or powder. Crystals may turn pale-yellowto brownish on contact with air. The solid may be dissolved in a flammable liquid carrier. Mild, ammonia odor.Molecular weight=322.31; Density=1.238 g/cm3 at20℃. Melting/Freezing=66℃; Boiling Point=437℃ at760 mmHg; Vapor pressure=4.2 3 10 2 7 mmHg at 20℃;Flash point=172℃; but may be dissolved in a flammableliquid carrier. Practically insoluble in water.

The Uses of BINAPACRYL

Binapacryl is a miticide and a fungicide used in pesticides. It is readily metabolized to Dinoseb (D480490) an herbicide in the dinitrophenol family.

The Uses of BINAPACRYL

Fungicide, miticide.

Definition

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion. Moderatelytoxic by skin contact. Mutation data reported. Acholinesterase inhibitor. When heated to decomposition itemits fumes of NOx.

Potential Exposure

Mutagen; cholinesterase inhibitor.Used as an acaricide, fungicide, and miticide. Not registeredin the United States.

First aid

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. Ifthis chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions) ifbreathing has stopped, and CPR if heart action has stopped.Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemicalhas been swallowed, get medical attention. Do not inducevomiting when formulations containing petroleum solventsare ingested. Otherwise, give large quantities of waterand induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious personvomit.
Note to physician: Treat for methemoglobinemia.Spectrophotometry may be required for precise determination of levels of methemoglobinemia in urine.

storage

Color Code—Red (dissolved material in a flammable liquid carrier): Flammability Hazard: Store in aflammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Color Code (dry, solid material)—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Store in a secure poison location. Prior to workingwith dinoseb you should be trained on its proper handlingand storage. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool,well-ventilated area. Store at temperatures from 0 to 6℃.

Shipping

Binapacryl, solid: label “SUBSTITUTEDNITROPHENOL PESTICIDES, SOLID, TOXIC.” It fallsinto DOT/UN Hazard Class 6.1(b) and Packing Group III.The DOT-required shipping label of “FLAMMABLELIQUID, POISONOUS/TOXIC MATERIALS.” TheHazard Class is 3 and the Packing Group is I.[19, 20]

Incompatibilities

Slight hydrolysis on long contact withwater. Keep away from caustics and concentrated acids thatcan cause decomposition. Slowly decomposed by ultravioletlight. When heated to decomposition it emits fumes ofnitrogen oxides. Contact with metals may evolve flammablehydrogen gas. A nitrophenol may be an oxidizer (ofunknown strength); incompatible with reducing agentsincluding alkali metals, hydrides, nitrides, and sulfides,which might cause a violent reaction or detonation.Nitrophenols may explode when heated. Nitrophenols mayreact as a weak organic acid. Do not mix with Nitric orSulfuric acid as explosive shock- and impact-sensitive saltsmay be formed.
