Signal Word: Warning
Active Ingredient: Fenvalerate 92-96%
Solvents & Carriers: Xylene or hydrocarbon solvents (varies by formulation), emulsifiers, and surfactants
Impurities: May contain isomers and minor technical byproducts; specific formulation details referenced by batch
Other Ingredients: Nonhazardous materials, proprietary additives up to a few percent by weight
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; medical attention recommended if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash skin thoroughly with soap and water—pay attention to fingernails and folds
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; seek medical advice if any irritation remains
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth; seek immediate medical treatment, giving health professionals product identification
Advice for Physician: Symptomatic and supportive treatment, avoid use of adrenergic amines in case of respiratory distress
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide; for small fires use sand earth
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct water jets as these may spread contamination
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, possible toxic fumes
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing
Special Procedures: Prevent runoff from entering water sources or drains; cool containers exposed to flame with water spray
Personal Precautions: Avoid direct skin or eye contact, avoid inhalation of vapors or mists; wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
Environmental Precautions: Block entry to drains, sewers, or watercourses; collect spillage to prevent widespread contamination
Containment and Cleanup: Confine spill with inert absorbent like sand or earth, shovel into labeled drums for disposal, ventilate area thoroughly; keep unnecessary people away until cleanup is complete
Methods for Disposal: Refer to local regulations; handle collected materials as hazardous waste
Handling: Handle outdoors or in well-ventilated area; avoid ingestion, inhalation, and direct contact; keep containers tightly closed when not in use
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands and forearms after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke during use
Storage: Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, food, animal feed, or incompatible materials such as oxidizers or acids; ensure secure storage to prevent accidental or unauthorized access
Container Compatibility: Keep in original containers or compatible HDPE/steel drums with appropriate labeling
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH Threshold Limit Value for Fenvalerate; minimize exposure as much as possible
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to control airborne concentration; maintain eye wash stations and safety showers
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves (nitrile, neoprene), chemical goggles, face shield, protective clothing (coveralls, boots), respiratory protection (P2 or equivalent filter) where airborne dust or vapor cannot be avoided
Environmental Exposure Controls: Take actions to prevent pesticide or dust from contaminating air and groundwater; treat runoff according to local environmental guidelines
Appearance: Clear amber to brown oily liquid (technical grade) or off-white crystalline solid (pure state)
Odor: Mild aromatic
pH: Not applicable for solid; slightly acidic in emulsifiable concentrate
Melting Point: 58-59°C (pure)
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Flash Point: 150°C (closed cup, technical concentrate)
Solubility: Practically insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents such as xylene, acetone, hexane
Vapor Pressure: 0.0003 mPa at 20°C
Density: 1.2-1.3 g/cm³
Partition Coefficient (Log Kow): 6.4
Stability: Stable at room temperature in closed containers, but decomposes on prolonged exposure to light and air
Chemical Stability: Remains stable under normal storage conditions; light and moisture accelerate breakdown
Conditions to Avoid: Excess heat, direct sunlight, strong acids, and oxidizing agents
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids and oxidizers, bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon oxides, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, and other toxic gases generated at high temperature
Polymerization: Does not undergo hazardous polymerization under prescribed conditions
Acute Toxicity (Oral): LD50 (rat): 430-800 mg/kg
Acute Toxicity (Dermal): LD50 (rat): >2000 mg/kg
Inhalation: LC50 (rat, 4 hr): >2.1 mg/L (aerosol)
Skin/Eye Irritation: Causes moderate irritation by direct contact
Sensitization: Can trigger allergic skin response in sensitive individuals
Chronic Exposure: Animal studies show liver and kidney changes, weight loss in high dose, not confirmed as carcinogen by IARC or EPA
Target Organs: Nervous system, skin, eyes
Toxicity to Fish: LC50 (96 hrs) for rainbow trout: 0.002-0.008 mg/L
Toxicity to Aquatic Invertebrates: LC50 (48 hrs) for daphnia: 0.011 mg/L
Toxicity to Birds: LD50 for mallard ducks: > 4000 mg/kg
Toxicity to Bees: LD50 (oral): 0.12 µg/bee; highly toxic
Persistence and Degradability: Slow to degrade in soil and water; half-life ranges from weeks to months depending on conditions
Bioaccumulation: High potential, accumulates in fatty tissues of organisms
Mobility: Low water solubility leads to binding with sediments and organic matter
Product Disposal: Treat as hazardous waste; incinerate in an approved facility or dispose through licensed chemical waste contractor
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse thoroughly, puncture, triple rinse, then dispose of or recycle in accordance with local regulations; do not reuse packaging for other purposes
Precautions: Avoid contamination of water supplies, soil, and drains; never burn product or package in open air
Regulations: Follow national legislation and guidelines for the management of pesticide wastes
