no data available
10.2 Chemical stability
Very stable to both acidic & basic hydrolysis.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
MALEIC HYDRAZIDE can be decomposed by oxidizing agents. It can also be decomposed by strong acids. It forms water-soluble alkali-metal and amine salts. It is slightly acidic and may be titrated as a monobasic acid. Mild oxidation produces a compound which reacts instantly with dienes at -41.67°C to form crystalline derivatives. This chemical is slightly corrosive to iron and zinc. It is incompatible with pesticides that are highly alkaline in reaction. In the presence of heavy metal and iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium ions, sparingly-soluble salts are formed.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials
If in presence of strong acid, maleic hydrazide acid may precipitate. Do not use concentrate through brass nozzles as the amine content may cause erosion.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of /nitrogen oxides/.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
... MALEIC HYDRAZIDE CAN SERVE AS SOLE SOURCE OF CARBON & NITROGEN FOR NUMBER OF MICROORGANISMS & ... IS VERY SUBJECT TO BACTERIAL DECOMP IN SOIL ... .
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for maleic hydrazide(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.96 (1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The reported Koc of maleic hydrazide was 264 for a clay soil, and 23 for a sand(1). Based on a classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that maleic hydrazide has very high to moderate mobility in soil(SRC). In a field experiment in which 5 and 10 kg/ha of maleic hydrazide were applied, the hydrazide did not migrate below a depth of 10 cm(3). This may be due to extensive biodegradation of maleic hydrazide(3). Maleic hydrazide was shown to bind to the clay component in Aiken clay loam where anion exchange is the predominant process(4). In a study of the adsorption of maleic hydrazide in 22 different soils, adsorption was most significantly correlated to specific surface area, clay content, and pH(5). The lack of correlation of adsorption with organic content of the soils may have been partly caused by the low organic content of the soils studied (<2%)(5). Adsorption of the herbicide ranged from high to low(5). Based upon the above information, maleic hydrazide may generally be expected to be mobile in soils with low clay content and relatively immobile in soils with high clay content. The mobility also may be affected by pH and specific surface area of the soils(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects

13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
