Hazard Identification

Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to GHS.
Primary Hazards: May cause mild eye irritation, slight skin irritation; inhalation of dust may cause respiratory tract irritation; ingestion could result in gastrointestinal discomfort.
Physical Hazards: Solid, may form combustible dust concentrations in air.
Environmental Hazards: Harmful to aquatic organisms, possible long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Signal Word: Warning
Hazard Statements: Causes mild skin and eye irritation; suspected hazard for aquatic environments.

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Lufenuron: ≥98%
Other Ingredients: ≤2% (mostly inert or confidential minor constituents)

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air. If breathing difficulty persists, seek medical advice immediately. Provide oxygen if available.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation continues.
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Obtain medical advice if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water, drink 1-2 glasses of water to dilute if victim is conscious. Call a doctor or poison center.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide.
Specific Hazards: Thermal decomposition or combustion may produce toxic or irritating fumes such as hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, and fluorine compounds.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent water runoff from entering drains.
Explosion Hazard: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Protection: Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles. Avoid inhaling dust and prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent contamination of soil, surface water, and drains.
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep up and place in suitable container for disposal. Vacuum or carefully shovel spills to avoid dust. Wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas to reduce exposure to dust. Wear personal protective equipment recommended for industrial work.
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight, ignition sources, and incompatible substances. Prevent container damage and contamination. Store locked up if required by local regulations.
Hygiene Practices: No eating, drinking, or smoking during handling. Wash hands and exposed areas with soap and water after handling and before meals.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: Occupational exposure limits have not been established for lufenuron itself. Maintain airborne concentrations as low as possible.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to control airborne dust levels. Enclose process to minimize dust.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, dust mask or respirator (N95 or better), long sleeves, and protective footwear.
Environmental Controls: Avoid release to the environment. Use containment to prevent spills.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Physical State: Solid (powder or crystalline form)
Appearance: White to off-white powder
Odor: Odorless or very mild
Melting Point: 230°C – 232°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Density: 1.68 g/cm³
Solubility: Poorly soluble in water (0.05 mg/L at 20°C), soluble in organic solvents (e.g., acetone, xylene)
Vapor Pressure: Very low (1.5 x 10⁻¹¹ mm Hg at 25°C)
pH: Not applicable as supplied
Partition Coefficient (Log Kow): 5.12 (high potential for bioaccumulation)

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Reactivity: Not reactive under normal use settings.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: If heated to decomposition, releases hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, fluorine compounds, and nitrogen oxides.
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, strong oxidizing agents.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, and oxidizers.

Toxicological Information

Acute Oral Toxicity (rat): LD50 > 5000 mg/kg (practically non-toxic)
Acute Dermal Toxicity (rat): LD50 > 2000 mg/kg
Acute Inhalation Toxicity: LC50 > 2.8 mg/L (4 hour, rat)
Skin Irritation: Mildly irritating
Eye Irritation: Mildly irritating
Skin Sensitization: Not a sensitizer in guinea pigs
Chronic Toxicity: No evidence of mutagenic, carcinogenic, or reproductive effects at normal exposure levels.
Additional Effects: May aggravate pre-existing skin or respiratory conditions in sensitive individuals.

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Toxic to aquatic life with possible long-term effects. LC50 (rainbow trout) = 0.17 mg/L, Daphnia EC50 = 0.39 mg/L.
Persistence & Degradability: Moderately persistent in soil and water. Degrades slowly under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
Bioaccumulation: Potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms (high Log Kow).
Mobility: Low mobility in soil, unlikely to leach to groundwater.
Other Adverse Effects: May affect non-target arthropods and aquatic invertebrates if released to environment.
