Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Fire Hazard
(Non-Specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.) Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Avoid amine salts of hormone herbicides, alkali-unstable fungicides or insecticides. (EPA, 1998)
Health Hazard
(Non-specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.) Poisonous if swallowed. Inhalation of dust poisonous. (EPA, 1998)
Reactivity Profile
BENZIMIDAZOLE, 4,5-DICHLORO-2-(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)- is a halide- and amine-substituted aromatic compound. Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Isolation and Evacuation
No information available.
Firefighting
(Non-Specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.) Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Wear self-contained (positive pressure if available) breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
(Non-Specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.) Small fires: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam. Large fires: water spray, fog, or foam. (EPA, 1998)
(Non-Specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.) Small fires: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam. Large fires: water spray, fog, or foam. (EPA, 1998)
Non-Fire Response
(Non-Specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.) Do not touch spilled material; stop leak if you can do it without risk.
Small spills: take up with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal.
Small dry spills: with clean shovel place material into clean, dry container and cover; move containers from spill area.
Large spills: dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. (EPA, 1998)

Small dry spills: with clean shovel place material into clean, dry container and cover; move containers from spill area.
Large spills: dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. (EPA, 1998)
Protective Clothing
For emergency situations, wear a positive pressure, pressure-demand, full facepiece self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or pressure- demand supplied air respirator with escape SCBA and a fully-encapsulating, chemical resistant suit. (EPA, 1998)

First Aid
Inhalation and ingestion are routes of entry. Non-Specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.Move victim to fresh air; call emergency medical care. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. In case of contact with material, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. (EPA, 1998)
The
Physical Property fields
include properties such as vapor pressure and
boiling point, as well as explosive limits and
toxic exposure thresholds
The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing the value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise in air or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Short phrases have been added to those values below as an aid. However, make sure to also consider the circumstances of a release. The Vapor Density comparisons are only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the surrounding air itself. If the chemical is escaping from a container where it was pressurized or refrigerated, it may first escape and behave as a heavy gas and sink in the air (even if it has a Vapor Density value less than 1). Also, the Specific Gravity comparisons are for fresh water (density 1.0 g/mL). If your spill is in salt water (density about 1.027 g/mL), you need to adjust the point of comparison. There are some chemicals that will sink in fresh water and float in salt water.
