3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATIONS:
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Hazardous chemical. Light yellow granule with an aromatic odor. May cause
eye irritation and/or corneal injury. May cause skin irritation. LD50 for skin absorption in
rabbits is >5000 mg/kg. Oral LD50 for rats and mice is >5000 mg/kg. Toxic to aquatic organisms.
EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER: 800-992-5994
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: This section includes possible adverse effects, which could occur if
this material is not handled in the recommended manner.
EYE: May cause moderate irritation, which may be slow to heal. May cause moderate corneal injury.
SKIN: Prolonged exposure may cause slight skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to
result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.
The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is >5000 mg/kg. Did not cause allergic skin reactions when tested in
guinea pigs.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is extremely low. No hazards anticipated from swallowing small
amounts incidental to normal handling operations. The oral LD50 for rats and mice is >5000 mg/kg.
INHALATION: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties.
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: For the major component(s), in animals, effects have
been reported on the following organs: blood, kidney, and liver.
Repeated excessive exposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis, a progressive and disabling
disease of the lungs. Some evidence suggests that kidney effects may
result from excessive exposures also.
CANCER INFORMATION: This mixture contains crystalline silica, which is listed by IARC and NTP as a
carcinogen for hazard communication purposes under OSHA Standard 29
CFR Part 1910.1200. No tumors were observed at lower dose levels. A low incidence of urinary tract
rumors was seen in only 1 of 5 chronic studies in rats with trifluralin.
Trifluralin is not anticipated to be a carcinogenic risk to man. Benefin has caused tumors in rats only at
doses exceeding the maximum tolerated dose.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse effects on
the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Trifluralin has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals
at doses toxic to the mother.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: For the major component(s), in animal studies, has been shown not to
interfere with reproduction.
4. FIRST AID:
EYES: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult medical
personnel.
SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel.
INHALATION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the
physician in response to reactions of the patient.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
FLASH POINT: Not applicable
METHOD USED: Not applicable
FLAMMABLE LIMITS LFL: Not applicable UFL: Not applicable
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: If product is involved in fire, use CO2 or dry chemical.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Heating benefin to temperatures above 90掳C (194掳F) can lead to
violent reaction with rapid pressure build-up. If product is involved in fire, noxious, toxic fumes may also
be formed.
FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear full protective clothing and use positive-pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS: Contain and sweep up material of small spills and dispose as waste.
Report large spills to Dow AgroSciences at 800-992-5994. Prevent runoff.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE:
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
HANDLING: Keep out of reach of children. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Causes eye irritation. May cause allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. Avoid breathing dust and
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using
tobacco or using the toilet.
STORAGE: Store in original container. Avoid elevated temperatures. See product label for
handling/storage precautions relative to the end use of this product.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION:
These precautions are suggested for conditions where a potential for exposure exists. Emergency
conditions may require additional precautions.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: Crystalline Silica: ACGIH TLV is 0.05 mg/M3
for quartz, tripoli, and fused silica; 0.05 mg/M3
(respirable) for cristobalite and tridymite. OSHA PEL is 10/%SiO2 + 2 mg/M3
(respirable) for quartz, tripoli, and fused silica; 陆 the value calculated from the respirable dust
formula for quartz for cristobalite and tridymite. PELs are in accord with those recommended by OSHA,
as in the 1989 revision of PELs.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide general and/or local
exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL BLENDING, AND PACKAGING
WORKERS:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: No respiratory protection should be needed. In dusty atmospheres, use
a NIOSH approved dust respirator.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use gloves impervious to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated
contact could occur.
EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles.
APPLICATORS AND ALL OTHER HANDLERS: Refer to the product label for personal protective
clothing and equipment.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
BOILING POINT: Not applicable
VAPOR PRESSURE: Not applicable
VAPOR DENSITY: Not applicable
SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Not soluble in water
SPECIFIC GRAVITY: Not applicable

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY:
STABILITY: (CONDITIONS TO AVOID)(NOTE: The following information is based on data for benefin
technical): Avoid elevated temperatures. Under normal handling and storage conditions, avoid heating
above 90掳C (194掳F). Heating to temperatures above 90掳C can lead to violent reaction with rapid pressure
buildup.
INCOMPATIBILITY: (SPECIFIC MATERIALS TO AVOID) None known
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Combustion may produce toxic fumes, such as oxides of
nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and unidentified organic compounds.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Not known to occur.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
MUTAGENICITY (EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL): Crystalline silica was negative in some animal
mutagenicity studies and positive in others. For trifluralin: in-vitro mutagenicity studies were negative and
animal mutagenicity studies were predominantly negative. For benefin: in-vitro and animal mutagenicity
studies were negative.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE:
MOVEMENT & PARTITIONING: Based largely or completely on information for benefin. Bioconcentration
potential is high (BCF is >3000 or Log Pow between 5 and 7).
Expected to be relatively immobile in soil (Koc is >5000).
Based largely or completely on information for trifluralin.
Bioconcentration potential is moderate (BCF is between 100 and 3000 or Log Pow between 3 and 5).
Potential for mobility in soil is slight (Koc is between 2000 and 5000).
DEGRADATION & PERSISTENCE:
Based largely or completely on information for benefin. Degradation is expected in the soil environment
within days to weeks. Based largely or completely on information for trifluralin.
Based on the stringent test guidelines, this material cannot be considered as readily biodegradable;
however, these results do not necessarily mean that the material is not
biodegradable under environmental conditions.
ECOTOXICOLOGY:
Based largely or completely on information for benefin and trifluralin.
Material is very highly toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis (LC50/EC50 is <0.1 mg/L in most
sensitive species).
