315-18-4 Usage
Chemical Properties
Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 315-18-4 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Colorless crystals. Soluble inacetone, alcohol, and benzene; insoluble in water.
2. Mexacarbate is an odorless, white to tan crystalline
solid.
Uses
Pesticide for use in the control of snails and slugs.
Definition
Insecticides containing
4-dimethylamino-3,5-xylyl-n-methylcarbamate.
General Description
ZECTRAN is an odorless white crystalline solid dissolved in a liquid carrier. ZECTRAN is toxic by inhalation, skin absorption, and/or ingestion. When heated to high temperatures ZECTRAN may emit toxic oxides of nitrogen. ZECTRAN will burn but ZECTRAN is difficult to ignite. ZECTRAN is used as a pesticide.
Reactivity Profile
ZECTRAN is a carbamate ester-amine. Amines behave as chemical bases. 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
Different sources of media describe the Health Hazard of 315-18-4 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Extremely toxic: probable oral lethal dose for humans is 5-50 mg/kg; between 7 drops and 1 teaspoonful for 70 kg person (150 lb.). (Non-Specific -- Carbamate Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) Poisonous; may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes.
2. Extremely toxic carbamate insecticide; exhibits acute, delayed and chronic effects; toxicby all routes of exposure; cholinesteraseinhibitor; symptoms of poisoning similar toother carbamate, especially carbaryl esters;symptoms include excessive salivation, lacrimation, blurred vision, twitching of muscles,loss of muscle coordination, and slurring ofspeech; gastrointestinal effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps,sweating and weakness; inhalation of vaporsmay cause runny nose and tightness in thechest; oral lethal dose in adult humans probably ranges at 0.5–2 g; skin and eye contactcan cause burn;LD50 oral (rat): 14 mg/kg (RTECS 1985)LD50 oral (mouse): 12 mg/kgLD50 skin (mouse): 107 mg/kg.
Fire Hazard
(Non-Specific -- Carbamate Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. ZECTRAN may burn but does not ignite readily. Container may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition ZECTRAN emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Avoid decomposition in highly alkaline media. Subject to photo-decomposition in the solid state.
Agricultural Uses
Insecticide, Molluscicide: It is a insecticide and molluscicide for non-agricultural
uses, e.g., lawn and turf, flowers, gardens, vines,
forest lands, woody shrubs and trees. It is not used commercially
in the U.S. Not listed for use in EU countries.
There are 14 global suppliers.

Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion,
skin contact, and intraperitoneal routes.
Experimental teratogenic effects.
Questionable carcinogen with experimental
neoplastigenic data. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 315-18-4 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 3,1 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 315-18:
(5*3)+(4*1)+(3*5)+(2*1)+(1*8)=44
44 % 10 = 4
So 315-18-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
