Description
PROTHOATE is a colorless crystalline solid with a camphor-like odor, used as an insecticide and acaricide. It is soluble in most organic solvents and has chemical properties of being an amber to yellow crystalline solid.
Uses
Used in Agriculture:
PROTHOATE is used as a fungicide and ovicide for controlling pests and protecting crops from fungal infections and insect damage.
Used in Chemical Industry:
PROTHOATE is used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other compounds and products.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
PROTHOATE is used as an active ingredient in the formulation of insecticides and acaricides for the control of insects and mites in various settings, including residential, commercial, and agricultural applications.
Reactivity Profile
Organothiophosphates, such as PROTHOATE, 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.
Hazard
Toxic by ingestion and skin absorption,
cholinesterase inhibitor.
Health Hazard
This is a highly toxic material capable of causing death or permanent injury due to exposures during normal use. Small doses at frequent intervals are additive. Similar to parathion.
Fire Hazard
(Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) Container may explode in heat of fire. Fire and runoff from fire control water may produce irritating or poisonous gases.
Potential Exposure
A potential danger to those involved
in the manufacture, formulation and application of the sys-
temic acaricide and insecticide.
Shipping
UN2783 Organophosphorus pesticides, solid,
toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Incompatibilities
Organophosphates are susceptible to for-
mation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the
presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrideds and
active metals. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may
result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides
Compounds of the carboxyl group react with all bases, both
inorganic and organic (i.e., amines) releasing substantial
heat, water and a salt that may be harmful. Incompatible
with arsenic compounds (releases hydrogen cyanide gas),
diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercap-
tans, nitrides, and sulfides (releasing heat, toxic and possi-
bly flammable gases), thiosulfates and dithionites (releasing
hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur).
Waste Disposal
In accordance with
40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of
pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed prop-
erly by following package label directions or by contacting
your local or federal environmental control agency, or by
contacting your regional EPA office.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 2275-18-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,2,7 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2275-18:
(6*2)+(5*2)+(4*7)+(3*5)+(2*1)+(1*8)=75
75 % 10 = 5
So 2275-18-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Concentrates of organophosphorous insecticides
-
, (2008/06/13)
A low volatile organic compound co-solvent system is disclosed for preparing emulsion concentrates of low melting organophosphorous insecticides wherein the bioefficacy of the insecticide active is significantly enhanced. The co-solvent system comprises a water-soluble ethoxylated fatty acid/rosin acid-nonionic surfactant composition.
