Emergency Overview
WARNING! MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
before eating, drinking or using tobacco.
Potential Health Effects
Based on animal data, skin contact with Curzate 60DF may cause
temporary reversible irritation with itching, redness, swelling or

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammable Properties
The material poses no explosion hazard in granular form.
Extinguishing Media
Water Spray, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Evacuate personnel to a safe area. Keep personnel removed and
upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear
full protective equipment. Runoff from fire control may be a
pollution hazard.
If area is exposed to fire and conditions permit, let fire burn
itself out. Burning chemicals may produce by-products more toxic
than the original material. If product is on fire, wear
self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
Use water spray. Control runoff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

gloves, waterproof boots and face/eye protection. If dusting
occurs, use NIOSH approved respirator protection.
Initial Containment
Remove source of heat, sparks, flame, impact, friction or
electricity.

Material Safety Data Sheet
(EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION - Continued)
Shoes plus socks.
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have
been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product鈥檚
concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer鈥檚
instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such
instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water.
Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is
permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that
involves contact with anything that has been treated, such
as plants, soil, or water is:

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Animal Data
Curzate 60DF
Oral LD50: 433 mg/kg in rats
(Moderately toxic)
Dermal LD50: > 5000 mg/kg in rats
(Very low to Slightly toxic)
Inhalation 4 hour LC50: > 5.0 mg/L in rats
(Very low toxicity)
Curzate 60DF is a reversible slight to moderate skin irritant, and
a reversible slight eye irritant, but is not a skin sensitizer in
animals.
CYMOXANIL
Overexposure to Cymoxanil by skin contact did not produce
irritation in guinea pigs. In a repeated dermal exposure test
with rats, the NOEL was 1000 mg/kg.
Effects of single exposure by ingestion of Cymoxanil included
weight loss, altered righting reflexes, weakness, labored
breathing, lethargy, incoordination, and nasal discharge.
Repeated oral exposure caused increased liver weight, reduced
weight gain, and testicular and epididymal histological changes.
Other effects included diarrhea, altered hematology, lethargy, and
increased mortality.
Long term exposure by ingestion of Cymoxanil to high
concentrations caused body and organ weight decreases,
pathological changes of the liver, gastrointestinal tract, lungs,
eyes, nerves, testes, sperm, bone marrow, spleen and thymus,
altered hematology, weakness and increased mortality.
Effects of single exposure by inhalation to high concentrations of
Cymoxanil included diarrhea, altered respiratory rate, nasal and
ocular discharge, changes in posture, decreased motor activity,
tremors and lethargy.
In animal testing Cymoxanil has not caused carcinogenicity.
Animal testing show developmental effects only at similar exposure
levels producing other toxic effects in the adult animal. Tests
have shown Cymoxanil to cause reproductive toxicity in animals,
however, only at levels producing toxic effects in the adult
animal. Cymoxanil has not produced genetic damage in bacterial
cultures. In mammalian cell cultures Cymoxanil has caused genetic
toxicity. It has not produced genetic damage in tests on animals.
In animal testing, Cymoxanil has not caused permanent genetic

heritable genetic damage).
