Emergency Contact: In country poison control centers and supplied emergency contacts for agricultural chemicals must be used for rapid response

Hazard Identification

GHS Classification: Not classified as acutely toxic under most global standards; moderate irritant potential
Hazard Symbols: Exclamation mark (irritant), aquatic toxicity symbol
Signal Word: Warning
Hazard Statements: May cause mild skin or eye irritation; prolonged exposure may increase risk; highly toxic to aquatic organisms; avoid direct release to the environment
Precautionary Statements: Avoid inhalation and contact with skin or eyes; thoroughly wash hands after handling contaminated product; do not eat, drink, or smoke during use; avoid uncontrolled exposure to water bodies and drainage

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Active Ingredient: Chlorantraniliprole (CAS No. 500008-45-7): 18.4%–35% (formulation dependent)
Other Ingredients: Surfactants, dispersing agents, and inert carriers: 65%–81.6%
Specific Chemical Identity: Proprietary components in formulation, typically non-hazardous but details vary by manufacturer
Mixture Type: Suspension concentrate, wettable powder, granule
Impurities: Not present at levels that present additional risk under pesticide regulations

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air; seek medical attention for persistent symptoms such as cough, difficulty breathing, or dizziness
Skin Contact: Immediately wash with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse; apply soothing skin treatments if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with plenty of water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing if irritation persists; obtain medical attention
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel; call a poison center or physician for further advice
Advice to Physicians: Treat symptomatically; no known specific antidote for chlorantraniliprole

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Avoid high-pressure water jets that may spread contamination
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride, phosgene, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, fluorinated compounds
Special Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Specific Fire Hazards: May emit toxic and corrosive fumes under fire conditions; avoid inhaling smoke, use proper containment to prevent environmental release

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use appropriate PPE including gloves, protective eyewear, and mask; avoid creating dust or aerosols
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, or confined areas; notify relevant authorities if large spills threaten water systems
Cleanup Methods: Collect spillage with absorbent materials like sand or earth; dispose collected waste in properly labelled containers; ventilate enclosed areas and wash residues with copious water while avoiding direct runoff

Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid unnecessary exposure; only trained professionals should handle concentrated product; do not eat, drink, or smoke around open containers; wear appropriate PPE during all handling processes
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed in cool, well-ventilated, dry areas; store away from incompatible substances (oxidizers, acids, strong bases); product should not be exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight; keep out of reach of children and only allow storage in locked pesticide facilities

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for chlorantraniliprole; minimize exposures using engineering controls and PPE
Engineering Controls: Use local ventilation at points of airborne dust generation; implement eye wash stations and emergency showers near workstations
Personal Protection: Gloves (nitrile or neoprene), chemical-resistant coveralls, safety goggles or face shields, NIOSH-approved respiratory mask during application or clean-up in confined spaces, rubber boots; launder work clothing regularly and keep contaminated PPE separate

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Off-white to beige crystalline solid or powder (technical grade); liquid suspensions typically milky white
Odor: Nearly odorless
Melting Point: 187–191°C (technical material)
Solubility: Low water solubility (~1.0 mg/L at 20°C); soluble in organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at standard temperatures
pH (1% solution): 5.0–7.0
Density: 1.45–1.54 g/cm³ (depending on formulation)
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): 2.86
Flash Point: Not applicable for solid substances; formulations exhibit higher thresholds, limiting flammability

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and use conditions; avoid exposure to strong acids or bases, oxidizing agents
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged heat, direct sunlight, strong oxidizing or reducing conditions, open flames
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, possible small amounts of phosgene and fluorinated gases under intense heating

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rats) >5,000 mg/kg; Dermal LD50 (rabbits) >5,000 mg/kg; practically non-toxic by acute routes
Skin Irritation: Mild irritant at most; not a sensitizer under standard testing
Eye Irritation: Mild, transient irritation possible
Repeated Dose Toxicity: No evidence of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity in long-term studies; some reversible liver enzyme induction at high doses
Target Organs: None identified from current animal data under normal occupational exposures
Inhalation: Dust may cause mild upper respiratory irritation, users should minimize inhalation

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia EC50 <0.1 mg/L); moderate to high toxicity to some aquatic fish species; minimal toxicity to birds, mammals, earthworms, and soil microbes at recommended doses
Persistence and Degradability: Low biodegradation in water or soil, persistent in aquatic systems
Bioaccumulation: Low potential for bioaccumulation (log Kow <3)
Mobility: Moderately mobile in soil, particular caution near water tables; potential to contaminate groundwater in sensitive soils
Other Effects: Chronic exposure risk for aquatic environments, especially in areas with poor dilution

Disposal Considerations

Waste Treatment Methods: Collect waste in tightly sealed, labelled containers; do not incinerate closed or pressurized containers
Pesticide Disposal: Follow local regulatory requirements for agricultural pesticides; never reuse containers for any purpose, triple rinse and puncture then deliver to approved hazardous waste facility
Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse, render unusable, and dispose of as hazardous waste in accordance with regional and national regulations
Spill Cleanup Material: Solid waste and contaminated absorbents should go to a specialized chemical landfill
