| | Metam sodium Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Metam sodium is a crystalline material with an unpleasant
odor of sulfur compounds. It reacts in water to generate
methyl isothiocyanate, which is the active material. It is
applied as a freshly diluted solution in water. | | Chemical Properties | A yellow to nearly clear yellow-green solution. Also described as a colorless to white crystalline solid.
Unpleasant sulfur-amine odor, similar to that of carbon
disulfide | | Chemical Properties | White, crystalline solid. Readily soluble
in water; moderately soluble in alcohol; stable in
concentrated aqueous solution but decomposes in
dilute aqueous solution; unstable in moist soil. | | Uses | Metam-sodium is a generator of methyl isothiocyanate. It is a soil
sterilant applied prior to planting and controls soil fungi, nematodes,
weed seeds and soil dwelling insects. | | Uses | Metam Sodium is useful as an environmental-friendly and sustainable electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reactions. | | Uses | Fungicide, nematocide, weed killer, insecticide,
soil fumigant. | | Definition | ChEBI: Metam-sodium is an organic sodium salt and an organosulfur insecticide. It has a role as a proherbicide, a proinsecticide, a profungicide and a pronematicide. It contains a metam(1-). | | General Description | A yellow to light yellow-green aqueous solution with an odor of amine and sulfur that varies in intensity. Boiling point 230°F. Metham sodium has a specific gravity of 1.162. Metham sodium will decompose upon dilution to carbon disulfide, monomethylamine, methylisothiocyanate, and hydrogen sulfide. The decomposition products are flammable and toxic. The acute symptoms of exposure to metam sodium are excessive salivation, sweating, fatigue, weakness, nausea, headache, dizziness, eye and respiratory tract irritation, and skin irritation in the form of rashes. The spillage of a rail car tanker of metal sodium into the Sacramento River caused a major fish kill (over a million trout) along several miles of that river. | | Air & Water Reactions | Slow reaction upon dilution produces toxic gases hydrogen sulfide and methylisothiocyanate. This reaction is accelerated by the addition of acid. | | Reactivity Profile | METAM SODIUM is a dithiocarbamate. Flammable gases are generated by the combination of thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates with aldehydes, nitrides, and hydrides. Thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates are incompatible with acids, peroxides, and acid halides. | | Hazard | Irritant to tissue, toxic to plants and vege-
tation. | | Health Hazard | TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. 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. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Not classified | | Agricultural Uses | Fungicide; Nematicide, Herbicide, Soil fumi-
gant, Algaecide: A general soil biocide that is used to control weeds,
weed seeds, roots, tubers, rhizomes, insects, nematodes
and soil inhabiting fungi on all food and non-food crops.
Also used as a pre-planting fumigant in seed beds, vine
crops, fruit trees, row crops, flowers and ornamentals.
Environmental friendly; it breaks down after two weeks
into carbon dioxide, water, and sodium and sulfur in small
amounts. A U.S. EPA restricted Use Pesticide (RUP).

(RUP). | | Metabolic pathway | Metam-sodium is a water soluble propesticide that decomposes to generate
the highly volatile and fungitoxic methyl isothiocyanate. The pathways
of metabolism of methyl isothiocyanate are described under its own
entry. | | Shipping | UN3267 Corrosive liquid, basic, organic, n.o.s.,

Name Required. UN2771 Dithiocarbamate and
Thiocarbamate pesticides, solid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1;
Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials | | Degradation | Metam-sodium can be stable in concentrated aqueous solution for several
weeks but is unstable when diluted. Decomposition is promoted by acids
and salts of heavy metals. DT50 values for hydrolysis of metam-sodium
were 23.8, 180 and 45.6 hours at pH 5, 7 and 9 (25 °C), respectively. It is
sensitive to light and solutions exposed to sunlight had a DT50 value of 1.6
hours (pH 7, 25 °C) (PM). In aqueous solution at high pH (9.5), metamsodium
was oxidatively degraded to form methyl isothiocyanate (2) and
elemental sulfur. At lower pH it was degraded non-oxidatively, affording
carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, methy lamine, methyl isothiocyanate
(2) and N,N'-dimethylthiuram disulfide (3). It is noteworthy that methylamine
and carbon disulfide can react to yield methyl isothiocyanate (2)
that can in turn react with metam to produce N,N'-dimethylthiuram
disulfide (3). Methyl isothiocyanate (2) can react with methylamine
or hydrogen sulfide, giving dimethylthiourea (4) (Turner and Corden,
1963). | | Incompatibilities | Slow reaction upon dilution in water
releasing toxic gases of hydrogen sulfide and methyl isothiocyanate. This reaction is accelerated by the addition of
acid. May liberate toxic gas when in contact with acids.
Combustible; vapors when heated or dust from dry material
may form explosive mixture in air. Dithiocarbamate esters
are combustible. They react violently with powerful oxidizers such as calcium hypochlorite. Poisonous gases are generated by the thermal decomposition of Dithiocarbamate
compounds, including carbon disulfide, oxides of sulfur,
oxides of nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methylamine. Thio and dithiocarbamates slowly decompose in
aqueous solution to form carbon disulfide and methylamine
or other amines. Such decompositions are accelerated by
acids. Flammable gases are generated by the combination
of dithiocarbamate with aldehydes, nitrides, and hydrides.
Dithiocarbamate are incompatible with acids, peroxides,
and acid halides. Corrosive to iron, copper brass and zinc
metals, especially in the presence of moisture. Heat alkalies
(lime), moisture can cause decomposition. Degradation produces ethylene thiourea. | | Waste Disposal | Do not discharge into drains
