Chemical properties

Oxydisulfoton is a combustible liquid.

The Uses of DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE

Disulfoton Sulfoxide is a disulfoton (D493695)'s degradate. Disulfoton, an organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is most commonly used for its pesticidal & insecticidal properties in the agricultural industry.

Definition

ChEBI: Oxydisulfoton is an organic thiophosphate.

General Description

Liquid. Used as an agricultural insecticide.

Reactivity Profile

Organophosphates, such as DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides. On heating, oxydisulphoton gets decomposed and releases toxic gases and vapours (SOx, POx).

Health Hazard

DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE is highly toxic orally and through the skin. DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE is an organophosphate pesticide.

Fire Hazard

(Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) Some materials may burn but none of them ignite easily. Container may explode in the heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE emits very toxic fumes of oxides of sulfur and phosphorus.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion and skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of SOx and POx.

Potential Exposure

This material is an agricultural insecticide.

First aid

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Speed in removing material from skinis of extreme importance. Shampoo hair promptly if contaminated. Seek medical attention immediately. If thischemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, beginrescue breathing (using universal precautions, includingresuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and inducevomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. Keepvictim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effectsmay be delayed; keep victim under observation.

Storage

Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with thischemical you should be trained on its proper handling andstorage.

Shipping

UN3018 Organophosphorus pesticides, liquid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.

Incompatibilities

Vapor 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. Strong oxidizers may cause release of toxic phosphorus oxides. Organophosphates, in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides, may form highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas. Keep away from alkaline materials.

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.
