| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Definition]
ChEBI: A dithiocarbamic acid resulting from the formal addition of a molecule of carbon disulfide to each amino group of ethylenediamine. | [General Description]
Solid. Very unstable material, used as a pesticide and fungicide. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Thio and dithiocarbamates slowly decompose in aqueous solution to form carbon disulfide and methylamine or other amines. Such decompositions are accelerated by acids. | [Reactivity Profile]
ETHYLENEBISDITHIOCARBAMIC ACID, SALTS & ESTERS are dithiocarbamic acid derivatives. 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. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. | [Fire Hazard]
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot. |
