Usage

Description

PROMECARB, a carbamate pesticide, is an almost odorless, colorless crystalline solid. It is used as a non-systemic contact insecticide and is not for sale or use in the USA. It is characterized by its colorless, odorless nature and its solubility in alcohol, while being insoluble in water.

Uses

Used in Pesticide Industry:
PROMECARB is used as an insecticide for controlling various insect pests. It acts as a non-systemic contact insecticide, meaning it does not get absorbed by the plant system but rather works upon contact with the target insects.
Used in Insect Control:
PROMECARB is used as an insecticide for the control of insects in various settings. Its application helps in managing insect populations that can cause damage to crops, stored products, or transmit diseases.

Reactivity Profile

PROMECARB 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.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion.

Health Hazard

PROMECARB is highly toxic by ingestion and is absorbed through the intact skin. It is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor and its effects are related to action on the nervous sysem.

Fire Hazard

(Non-Specific -- Carbamate Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) Container may explode in heat of fire. Fire and runoff from fire control water may produce irritating or poisonous gases. Hydrolyzed by alkalis. Stable. No changes observed on storage for 140 hours at122F.

Potential Exposure

A potential danger to those involved in the manufacture, formulation or application of this non- systemic contact insecticide.

Shipping

UN2811 Toxic solids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities

Alkalis.

Waste Disposal

Small quantities: treat with alkali and then bury. Large quantities: incineration . In accordance with 40CFR165, follow 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 environ- mental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
