Dinoterb pictograms and signal word
Dinoterb hazard class and category
| Hazard class | Category | From code | Pictogram |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acute toxicity - oral GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 1 or 2 | H300 | GHS06 |
| Acute toxicity - dermal GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 3 | H311 | GHS06 |
| Hazardous to the aquatic environment - acute GHS chapter 4.1 | Category 1 | H400 | GHS09 |
| Hazardous to the aquatic environment - chronic GHS chapter 4.1 | Category 1 | H410 | GHS09 |
Where two values are shown with “or”, the hazard statement is shared by more than one category or by more than one class, and the code alone does not say which. H272, for example, belongs to oxidising liquids and to oxidising solids — the physical state decides. The binding answer for a specific entry is in the CLP Annex VI table itself.
Dinoterb hazard statements (H-codes)

| H300 | Fatal if swallowed. |

Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Dinoterb
A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of Dinoterb issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.
04 · Precautionary statements
Dinoterb precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 10 precautionary statements to Dinoterb. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.
Prevention
What to do before and during handling so the hazard never happens.
Response
What to do once exposure, spillage or fire has already happened.
Disposal
What has to happen to the contents and the empty container.

05 · Names in the regulation
Dinoterb name in 23 EU languages
CLP Annex VI Part 3 is published in every language edition of the regulation, and the identification column is written out in each of them. Nothing below is translated by us: each line is the name as that edition prints it. Under Art. 18(2) the substance name from Annex VI is a lawful product identifier, so this is the wording to put on a label going to that market — and where the cell lists several designations, any one of them qualifies.

All 23 language editions of Annex VI carry this entry. Irish is the twenty-fourth official EU language and has no line here for a different reason: no consolidated CLP text has ever been published in Irish, so there is no Irish edition of Annex VI to quote a name from.

10 · Handling and storage
Dinoterb storage and handling
Dinoterb reactivity
Nitrophenolates, such as DINOTERB, range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups. Severe explosion hazard when dry.

Dinoterb — frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Dinoterb?
The CAS number of Dinoterb is 1420-07-1. Its EC number is 215-813-8.
What does a Dinoterb label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Dinoterb carries the pictograms Skull and crossbones, Health hazard and Environment and the signal word is Danger.
Is Dinoterb flammable?

Is Dinoterb a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Dinoterb. Annex VI is a list of agreed classifications, not a list of substances found safe, so this is an absence of a classification rather than a clean bill of health.
What is the boiling point of Dinoterb?
The boiling point reported for Dinoterb is 220 °C (428 °F), above this value (HSDB).
What is the melting point of Dinoterb?
The melting point reported for Dinoterb is 126 °C (258.8 °F) (HSDB).
