NICOTINE SULFATE Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
crystals
Chemical Properties
Nicotine sulfate is a white crystalline solid.
Uses
(-)-Nicotine Hemisulfate Salt is a prototype nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist.
General Description
An clear colorless aqueous solution. Toxic by inhalation and may be toxic by skin absorption. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion.
Air & Water Reactions
Soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
NICOTINE SULFATE arises from the neutralization of nicotine with sulfuric acid. Emits very toxic fumes of carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen when heated to decomposition [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 919]. May react exothermically with strong oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents.
Health Hazard
Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.
Agricultural Uses
Insecticide, Miticide, Veterinary medicine: Nicotine sulphate is an insecticide of plant origin and is effective against a wide variety of insect pests. It is also used in veterinary medicine as an anthelmintic and external parasiticide. It is used to kill aphids, thrips, bugs, worms, leaf-hoppers and similar sucking insects which attack and destroy fruit, vegetables, crops and even flowers. It is also effective against lice, mites, and ticks. No longer registered in the U.S. or in European countries. There are more than 20 global suppliers[97
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of SOx and organic fumes. See also NICOTINE and SULFATES.
Potential Exposure
Nicotine sulfate is used as an insecticide and in veterinary medicine as an anthelmintic and external parasiticide. An alkaloid produced from tobacco.
Shipping
UN1658 Nicotine sulfate solution, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
Waste Disposal
In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
