Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients
TWA (mg/m3) STEL (mg/m3)
Ingredients CAS No Conc,%
Triadimefon 43121-43-3 50 not set not set
Other non hazardous ingredients secret to 100 not set not set
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non
hazardous ingredients are also possible.
The TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5
day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should
not be repeated for more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The term "peak "is
used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
General Information:
You should call The Poisons Information Centre if you feel that you may have been poisoned, burned or irritated by
this product. The number is 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) and is available at all
times. Have this MSDS with you when you call.
Inhalation: No first aid measures normally required as inhalation is unlikely. However, if inhalation has occurred,
and irritation has developed, remove to fresh air and observe until recovered. If irritation becomes painful or persists
more than about 30 minutes, seek medical advice.
Skin Contact: Gently brush away excess solids. Wash gently and thoroughly with water (use non-abrasive soap if
necessary) for 10 minutes or until chemical is removed. If irritation persists, repeat flushing and obtain medical advice.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Toxicity: An information profile for Prometryn is available at http://extoxnet.orst.edu/pips/ghindex.html
Acute toxicity: At 92.6%, Triadimefon has an acute oral LD50 of 300 to 600 mg/kg in rats, about 1000 mg/kg in mice,
and about 500 mg/kg in rabbits and dogs. Triadimefon has a potential to cause adverse chronic effects at low to
moderate dose levels. Acute inhalation toxicity of the compound is moderate. The 4-hour inhalation LC50 is greater
than 0.48 mg/L in rats and approximately the same in mice. Acute toxicity through skin exposure is also fairly low. The
LD50 values for the dermal toxicity of technical Triadimefon are greater than 1000 mg/kg in rats and 2000 mg/kg in
rabbits. Studies of acute effects in rats have indicated a potential to induce neurobehavioral effects. Data regarding
eye and skin irritation are inconclusive.
Chronic toxicity: A number of 2-year studies have indicated that there are several toxic responses to low to
moderate doses of the compound. Long-term studies of Triadimefon in several species (rat, mouse, dog) over a range
of doses indicated a reduction in body weight, changes in red blood cell counts, an increase in blood cholesterol
levels, and increased liver weights. Increased liver weights may be seen as an adaptation to toxic stress, rather than
a toxic endpoint related to exposure.
Reproductive effects: Female rats fed up to 90 mg/kg/day of 92.6% Triadimefon over three generations showed a
number of adverse effects. This and other evidence suggests it is unlikely that Triadimefon will cause reproductive
toxicity in humans under normal circumstances.
Teratogenic effects: The teratogenic potential of Triadimefon is relatively low. Doses causing birth defects in rats
were high enough to also produce maternal toxicity. Thus, it is unlikely that Triadimefon will cause birth defects in
humans under normal circumstances.
Mutagenic effects: Six separate studies indicate that the 92.6% Triadimefon compound is nonmutagenic. Several
other tests were inconclusive. It is unlikely that the compound poses a significant mutagenic risk.
Carcinogenic effects: In a 2-year dietary study with mice, the highest dose tested (600 mg/kg/day) did not produce
significant increases in tumour incidence. Due to high mortality, the reliability of this data is suspect. Another 2-year
dietary study in mice showed increased liver cell hypertrophy (which may be related to tumour formation) at doses of
greater than 36 mg/kg/day in males and 6 mg/kg/day for females. Increased liver cell adenoma was detected at all
levels, but carcinoma was not detected at any level in this study. Based on this evidence, no conclusion can be drawn
about the overall carcinogenicity of Triadimefon.
Organ toxicity: Triadimefon has been associated with changes in the liver, decreased kidney weights, and altered
urinary bladder structure in laboratory animals exposed to 18 to 60 mg/kg/day. There is evidence that acute effects on
the central nervous system may also occur.
Fate in humans and animals: After oral administration of a single dose of Triadimefon, most of the compound was
eliminated unchanged in the urine and faeces within 2 to 3 days. Some breakdown of a small amount of the
compound occurred in the liver.
Section 12 - Ecological Information
Effects on birds: Triadimefon ranges from slightly toxic to practically nontoxic to birds. For instance, the compound
has an LD50 > 4000 mg/kg in mallard ducks. Japanese quail are less tolerant of the compound (LD50 of 2000 mg/kg)
and canaries are even less tolerant (LD50 >1000 mg/kg).
Effects on aquatic organisms: The compound is slightly toxic to fish, indicating that they are more susceptible to the
presence of the compound than are birds.
Effects on other organisms: The compound is nontoxic to honeybees.
Environmental Fate:
Breakdown in soil and groundwater: Triadimefon has low to moderate persistence in soils. In a sandy loam type of
soil, half of the initial amount of the compound was lost within 18 days. Triadimefon and its residues are moderately
mobile and may have potential to leach to groundwater.
Breakdown in water: In water with a pH 3.0, 6.0, or 9.0, almost 95% of the compound remained after 28 weeks. The
compound is very stable in water and does not readily undergo hydrolysis.
Breakdown in vegetation: In plants, a breakdown product is triadimenol , and translocation and metabolism may
vary according to plant species. Triadimenol is of comparable toxicity to Triadimefon.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Disposal: Instructions concerning the disposal of this product and its containers are given on the product label.
These should be carefully followed.
