Liquid. Miscible with water. | [Uses]
Insecticide. | [General Description]
Colorless liquid. Used as a systemic aphicide in Europe, insecticide. Currently of little commercial interest. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S. | [Reactivity Profile]
Isolan powder(content2%-20%) is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates. | [Health Hazard]
Isolan powder(content2%-20%) is classified as extremely toxic. Probable oral lethal dose in humans is 5-50 mg/kg or between 7 drops and 1 teaspoonful for a 150-lb. person. A cholinesterase inhibitor; although it is not an organic phosphate, it resembles that group in action. | [Fire Hazard]
When heated to decomposition, Isolan powder(content2%-20%) emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. | [Hazard]
Cholinesterase inhibitor. |
