general description |
colorless crystals or oily amber liquid. toxic by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. used as a pesticide. |
air & water reactions |
readily hydrolyzed by strong base or acid. |
reactivity profile |
triallate is an organochlorine carbamate derivative. 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. |
health hazard |
highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. avoid any skin contact. effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. |
fire hazard |
non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. containers may explode when heated. runoff may pollute waterways. |
