ethylphenyl)ethane (mp 60–61 ?C) is a rapidly biodegradable
insecticide with very low mammalian toxicity, rat
oral LD50 8170 mg/kg. It has been used as a household
insecticide. | | Chemical Properties | Crystalline solid; mp 56°C (132.8°F); insoluble in water; soluble in acetone, kerosene,and diesel fuel. | | General Description | Crystals when pure. Technical grade a light yellow waxy solid. | | Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | PERTHANE (TM) is sensitive to heat. PERTHANE (TM) is incompatible with alkalis. PERTHANE (TM) is readily dehydrochlorinated. PERTHANE (TM) is slightly corrosive to iron, zinc, and aluminum. | | Health Hazard | Mildly toxic by ingestion; the oral medianlethal doses in all experimental animalswere >5000 mg/kg; however, producedmoderate to severe effects when administeredintravenously; toxic properties are somewhatsimilar to those of DDT; susceptible tostorage in fat; also bioaccumulative; ateratogenic substance; sufficient evidenceof carcinogenicity in mice, but inadequateevidence in other animals; cancer-causingeffects in human unknown.LD50 oral (rat): 6600 mg/kgLD50 oral (wild bird): 9000 mg/kgLD50 intravenous (rat): 73 mg/kg. | | Fire Hazard | Flash point data for PERTHANE (TM) are not available. PERTHANE (TM) is probably combustible. | | Safety Profile | Poison by intravenous
route. Mdly toxic by ingestion.
