ETOXAZOLE

Description

Etoxazole is an organofluorine acaricide. It induces toxicity in two-spotted spider mite (T. urticae) larvae (LC₅₀ = 0.036 mg/L for the London reference strain) through inhibition of chitin synthase 1. It reduces acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the freshwater fish O. niloticus in a concentration-dependent manner. Etoxazole (2.2-22 mg/kg per day) inhibits the activity of catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and AChE in the liver and kidneys of rats in a dose-dependent manner. Formulations containing etoxazole have been used for the control of mites in agriculture.

Chemical properties

Pale-yellow liquid when pure or reddish-brown liquid or semisolid as a technical product. Mild odor.

The Uses of ETOXAZOLE

Acaricide.

The Uses of ETOXAZOLE

Isotope labelled Etoxazole is a acaricide/insecticide that works via chitin biosynthesis inhibition for the control of mites. Used as a standard for Pesticide detection. Useful in cannabis testing kits as a component of pesticide mixes (P698235).

Potential Exposure

Aromatic hydrocarbon; Thiazole fungicide Etridiazole is a fungicide used in some countries as a seed treatment on barley, beans, corn, cotton, peanuts, peas, sorghum, soybeans, safflower, and wheat. It is also used on cotton for in-furrow application at planting, on ornamental plants and shrubs by horticultural nurseries, on nonbearing citrus and nonbearing coffee, and for golf course fairways, tees and greens. Some states hold Special Local Need registrations for use on tobacco transplants

Shipping

UN2810 Toxic liquids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required. Military driver shall be given full and complete information regarding shipment and conditions in case of emergency. AR 50-6 deals specifically with the shipment of chemical agents. Shipments of agent will be escorted in accordance with AR 740-32.

Incompatibilities

Diazo compounds can detonate. This applies in particular to organic azides that have been sensitized by the addition of metal salts or strong acids. Toxic gases are formed by mixing materials of this class with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals. Explosive combination can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides. This chemical is sensitive to prolonged exposure to heat. This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents

Waste Disposal

Incineration would be an effective disposal procedure where permitted. If an efficient incinerator is not available, the product should be mixed with large amounts of combustible material and contact with the smoke should be avoided. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers
