| Usage |
Chlorothalonil is a polychlorinated aromatic broad spectrum non-systematic fungicide. Chlorothalonil is used heavily in agriculture field on crops such as peanuts, potatoes and tomatoes. Chlorothaloni l is a probable human carcinogen (Group B2) and is highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertabrates. |
| General Description |
Colorless crystals or granules or light gray powder. Melting point 250-251°C. No odor when pure; technical grade has a slightly pungent odor. A fungicide formulated as water-dispersible granules, wettable powder, or dust. |
| Air & Water Reactions |
Insoluble in water. |
| Reactivity Profile |
Chlorothalonil is stable in neutral or acidic aqueous media. May react violently with strong oxidizing acids [Farm Chemicals Handbook]. Incompatible with other oxidizing agents such as peroxides and epoxides. Breaks down slowly in basic aqueous media (half-life 38.1 days at pH 9. [Farm Chemicals Handbook]. |
| Fire Hazard |
Literature sources indicate that Chlorothalonil is nonflammable. |
