Safety Data Sheet

Getting an SDS for Hexythiazox

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 Hexythiazox 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

Hexythiazox precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 3 precautionary statements to Hexythiazox. 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

Hexythiazox 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.

Hexythiazox carcinogenicity classification

Cancer Classification: Group C Possible Human Carcinogen

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.

What is the chemical formula of Hexythiazox?

The molecular formula of Hexythiazox is C17H21ClN2O2S and its molecular weight is 352.9 g/mol.

What does a Hexythiazox label have to show?

Under CLP Annex VI the label for Hexythiazox carries the pictogram Environment and the signal word is Warning.

Is Hexythiazox flammable?

CLP Annex VI assigns Hexythiazox 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 100 °C (212 °F) (HSDB).

Is Hexythiazox a carcinogen?

CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Hexythiazox. 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 melting point of Hexythiazox?

The melting point reported for Hexythiazox is 105.5 °C (221.9 °F) (HSDB).

How should Hexythiazox be stored?
