Chemical Properties
Colorless to yellowish, flammable liquid.
Aromatic odor.
Uses
Selective herbicide.
Definition
ChEBI: Pebulate is a tertiary amine.
General Description
Colorless to yellow liquid with aromatic odor. Non corrosive. Used as an herbicide.
Air & Water Reactions
Thio and dithiocarbamates slowly decompose in aqueous solution to form carbon disulfide and methylamine or other amines. Such decompositions are accelerated by acids.
Reactivity Profile
PEBULATE is a thiocarbamate. Flammable gases are generated by the combination of thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates with aldehydes, nitrides, and hydrides. Thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates are incompatible with acids, peroxides, and acid halides.
Potential Exposure
Pebulate is a thiocarbamate herbicide
used for pre-emergence control of germinating seeds of
broadleaf and grassy weeds in sugar beets, tobacco,
and tomatoes. There are no registered residential uses
of pebulate
Shipping
Do not discharge into drains
or sewers. Dispose of waste material as hazardous waste
using a licensed disposal contractor to an approved landfill.
Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance
on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste
containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must conform
with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation,
treatment, and waste disposal. If allowed, incineration with
effluent gas scrubbing (carbon dioxide may be released)
is recommended. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow
recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and
pesticide containers. Noncombustible containers should be
crushed and buried under more than 40 cm of soil. Must
be disposed properly by following package label directions
or by contacting your local or federal environmental control
agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
Incompatibilities
Thiocarbamate esters are combustible.
They react violently with powerful oxidizers such as calcium
hypochlorite. Poisonous gases are generated by the thermal
decomposition of thiocarbamate compounds, including carbon
disulfide, oxides of sulfur, oxides of nitrogen, hydrogen
sulfide, ammonia, and methylamine.Thio and dithiocarbamates
slowly decompose in aqueous solution to form carbon
disulfide and methylamine or other amines. Such decompositions
are accelerated by acids. Flammable gases are generated
by the combination of thiocarbamates with aldehydes,
nitrides, and hydrides. Thiocarbamates are incompatible with
acids, peroxides, and acid halides.
