| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Silver iridescent crystals or white fluffy solid . Sublimes easily. Sensitive to light. Highly toxic. Causes skin burns and is absorbed through the skin. | [Reactivity Profile]
ETHYL MERCURY CHLORIDE(107-27-7) is sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. Incompatible with strong oxidizers such as chlorine . | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Hazard]
Strong irritant. | [Potential Exposure]
This chemical is used in manufacture of
coatings, resins, and lacquers. Widely known as “Plexiglass”
(in the polymer form), ethyl methacrylate is used to make
polymers, which in turn are used for building, automotive,
aerospace, and furniture industries. It is also used by dentists
as dental plates, artificial teeth, and orthopedic cement. | [Fire Hazard]
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, ETHYL MERCURY CHLORIDE is probably combustible. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

UN2277 Ethyl methacrylate, stabilized, Hazard
Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid | [Incompatibilities]
May form explosive mixture with air.
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides,
permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine,etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away
from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides. Corrodes some metals. Unless inhibited,
violent polymerization can occur from heat, sunlight, and
contact with strong oxidizers | [Chemical Properties]
Ethyl mercuric chloride, an alkyl-organo mercury compound, is silvery white, forming leaf-like crystals | [Chemical Properties]
Ethyl methacrylate is a colorless liquid. | [Chemical Properties]
silver crystals or white solid | [Waste Disposal]
In accordance with 40CFR
165 recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and
pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or
federal environmental control agency, or by contacting
your regional EPA office. | [Uses]
Applied at 2% strength (soln or mixed with solids) as a fungicide for treating seeds. | [Uses]
Ethyl mercuric chloride is used as the polymerization catalyst; seed or bulb fungicide. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Ethylmercuric chloride is a highly toxic organomercury compound which is used as a fungicide for treating seeds. It has a role as a fungicide. It is a chlorine molecular entity and an organomercury compound. | [Purification Methods]
Mercuric chloride can be removed by suspending ethylmercuric chloride in hot distilled water, filtering with suction onto a sintered-glass crucible and drying it. Then crystallise it from ethanol and sublime it under reduced pressure. It can also be crystallised from water. [Marvel et al. J Am Chem Soc 47 3009 1925.] |
