Safety Data Sheet

Getting an SDS for Heptenophos

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 Heptenophos 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

Heptenophos precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 7 precautionary statements to Heptenophos. 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.

Disposal

What has to happen to the contents and the empty container.

05 · Names in the regulation

Heptenophos 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.

Heptenophos health hazards and exposure limits

Heptenophos hazard summary

May cause irritation; A cholinesterase inhibitor; [MSDSonline] The average of two baseline respective cholinesterase activity determinations three days apart, with no exposures to enzyme inhibiting pesticides for at least 30 days, is recommended for each worker prior to exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors because of large inter-individual differences in published baseline values. To be established at least once a year. Removal from workplace exposures is recommended until the cholinesterase activity returns to within 20% of baseline. [TLVs and BEIs]

What is the CAS number of Heptenophos?

The CAS number of Heptenophos is 23560-59-0. Its EC number is 245-737-0.

What is the chemical formula of Heptenophos?

The molecular formula of Heptenophos is C9H12ClO4P and its molecular weight is 250.61 g/mol.

What does a Heptenophos label have to show?

Under CLP Annex VI the label for Heptenophos carries the pictograms Skull and crossbones and Environment and the signal word is Danger.

Is Heptenophos flammable?

CLP Annex VI assigns Heptenophos no flammability hazard class. That is not a statement that it cannot burn: the harmonised list only records the hazards that were assessed for it. The flash point reported for it is 152 °C (305.6 °F), Pensky-Martens, closed (HSDB).

Is Heptenophos a carcinogen?

CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Heptenophos. 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 Heptenophos?

The boiling point reported for Heptenophos is 64 °C (147.2 °F), at 0.075 mmHg (reduced pressure) (HSDB).

What is the melting point of Heptenophos?

The melting point reported for Heptenophos is 25 °C (77 °F), below this value (HMDB).
