| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Thick, yellow-brown liquid or semisolid mass
(technical product). | [Potential Exposure]
Pyrethroid insecticide used to control
pests on cotton, fruit, and vegetable crops. Also used in
commercial and residential settings, ships, laboratories, and
food-processing plants. A United States Environmental
Protection Agency Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP). | [First aid]

UN3349 Pyrethroid pesticide, solid toxic,
Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous material. UN3352
Pyrethroid pesticide, liquid toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1;
Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials. | [Incompatibilities]
May react violently with strong oxidi-
zers, bromine, 90% hydrogen peroxide, phosphorus
trichloride, silver powders, or dust. Incompatible with silver
compounds. Mixture with some silver compounds forms
explosive salts of silver oxalate. | [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 40
CFR 165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pes-
ticides and pesticide containers. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Cypermethrin is a carboxylic ester resulting from the formal condensation between 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and the alcoholic hydroxy group of hydroxy(3-phenoxyphenyl)acetonitrile. It has a role as a pyrethroid ester insecticide, a pyrethroid ester acaricide, an agrochemical and a molluscicide. It is an organochlorine compound, a nitrile, an aromatic ether and a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester. It is functionally related to a 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid. |
