metribuzin (C8H14N4OS)

Metribuzin takes the form of white crystals or white crystalline powder. Metribuzin is a herbicide widely used to control weeds in beets, potatoes, carrots, peas, soybeans and other crops.

Properties of metribuzin (C8H14N4OS):

Reactivity: Metribuzin is stable under normal conditions, but may react with strong oxidizing agents. It is important not to mix metribuzin with other chemicals without knowing the risks of adverse reactions.
Melting point: The melting point of metribuzin is around 101-103°C.
Solubility: Metribuzin is sparingly soluble in water (approx. 53 mg/L at 20°C), but more soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, acetone or chloroform.
Health risks: Metribuzin can be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Prolonged exposure or high doses may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and neurological disorders. It is classified as environmentally hazardous with long-term effects.
Protection and prevention: It is recommended to wear personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and a mask when handling metribuzin. It is also advisable to work in a well-ventilated area and to respect the recommended doses to avoid excessive exposure.

Self-contained breathing apparatus for metribuzin (C8H14N4OS)

metribuzin (C8H14N4OS) is a toxic, asphyxiating gas with a high risk of suffocation, so we recommend an open-circuit breathing apparatus (ARICO), an air-supply system for long-duration operations and a self-rescue mask for emergency evacuations.
