SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

NIOSH considers captafol to be a potential occupational carcinogen.

Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163), nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Attacks metals.

Chemical stability

Slowly hydrolyzed in aqueous emulsion or suspension. Rapidly hydrolyzed in acidic and alkaline media. Decomposes slowly at the melting point.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

CAPTAFOL is non-flammable but, on heating, may decompose to generate toxic fumes, such as sulfur oxides, hydrogen sulfide, hydrochloric acid, and phosgene. Stable at room temperature when dry but readily hydrolysed, especially in an alkaline environment. Captafol and mixtures containing high concentrations of captafol may react violently with alkali. Incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, and strong oxidizing agents. Sulfhydryl compounds such as glutathione and cysteine cause a rapid chemical decomposition.

Conditions to avoid

no data available

Incompatible materials

Incompatible with highly alkaline materials.

Hazardous decomposition products

When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of /hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulfur/.

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

Acute toxicity

  • Oral: LD50 Rat oral 5,000-6,200 mg ai/kg
  • Inhalation: no data available
  • Dermal: LD50 Rabbit percutaneous >15,400 mg/kg

Skin corrosion/irritation

no data available

Serious eye damage/irritation

no data available

Respiratory or skin sensitization

no data available

Germ cell mutagenicity

no data available

Carcinogenicity

Evaluation: No data were available from studies in humans. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of captafol. In making the overall evaluation, the working group took into consideration the following supporting evidence: Captafol is active in a wide range of tests for genetic and related effects, including the generally insensitive in vivo assay for dominant lethal mutation. Overall evaluation: Captafol is probably carcinogenic to humans (2A).

Reproductive toxicity

no data available

STOT-single exposure

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.

STOT-repeated exposure

Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization and allergic conjunctivities. Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause asthma. The substance may have effects on the liver and kidneys. This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans.

Aspiration hazard

A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

SECTION 12: Ecological information

Toxicity

  • Toxicity to fish: LC50 Rainbow trout 0.5 mg/l/96 hr /Conditions of bioassay not specified
  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
  • Toxicity to algae: no data available
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

Persistence and degradability

In a laboratory incubation study with three kinds of soils under two moisture levels (field capacity and submergence) the biodegradation half-lives of difolatan ranged 23-55 days(1). The overall half-life of difolatan in soil is about 11 days, independent of soil type or initial concn(2). In soil, difolatan may be initially inhibitive to certain bacterial and microbial populations, but may be stimulative to certain bacterial populations(3,4). The inhibitory effect disappears in 7 days at a treatment level of 10 ppm(4). The rate of biodegradation was slowest in soil containing the highest organic carbon content(1,5).

Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 170 was calculated for difolatan(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.80(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically after being released to the environment.

Mobility in soil

The adsorption coefficient, logKom, for difolatan based on soil organic matter has been reported as 3.08(1) and 3.09(2). Based on a relationship Kom = Koc/1.724(3), the Koc for difolatan would be 2073 and 2120, respectively. According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggests that difolatan is expected to be slightly mobile in soil.

Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
