Safety Data Sheet

Getting an SDS for Hexazinone

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 Hexazinone 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

Hexazinone precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 13 precautionary statements to Hexazinone. 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.

Disposal

05 · Names in the regulation

Hexazinone 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.

Hexazinone carcinogenicity classification

Cancer Classification: Group D Not Classifiable as to Human Carcinogenicity

An IARC group and a CLP classification answer different questions. IARC judges whether the evidence for cancer in humans is strong enough; CLP Annex VI is the legally binding EU classification. A substance can carry one and not the other.

Is Hexazinone a carcinogen?

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

The boiling point reported for Hexazinone is Decomposes, decomposes (HSDB).

What is the melting point of Hexazinone?

The melting point reported for Hexazinone is 117.2 °C (243 °F) (HSDB).
