Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical description & handling notes

• Benzimidazole, 4,5-dichloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)- appears as a crystalline solid. Fine white needles when pure; the commercial material is brownish. Used as an herbicide. (EPA, 1998)
• Solid (white when pure); Commercial product is brownish; [HSDB]
• CRYSTALLINE SOLID, FORMING FINE WHITE NEEDLES WHEN PURE.
• (Non-Specific -- Pesticide, solid, n.o.s.) May burn, but does not ignite readily. (EPA, 1998)
• 69 PPM IN WATER @ 25 °C; SPARINGLY SOL IN METHYL NAPHTHALENE & BENZENE; SOL UP TO 25% IN ETHANOL, ETHER, CHLOROFORM, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCEROL FORMAL, METHYL NAPHTHALENE; VERY SOL IN ACETONE.
• ... VOLATILITY LOW ... AQUEOUS SALT FORMULATIONS ARE BELIEVED CHEMICALLY STABLE IN AIR.

Documented Uses

• Used as herbicide; Formerly manufactured by Fisons LTD; [HSDB]
• FORMERLY MANUFACTURED BY FISONS LTD.
• INCOMPATIBILITIES: AQUEOUS SALT FORMULATIONS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH SIMILARLY FORMULATED HORMONE WEED KILLERS & WITH TRIAZINES, BUT AMINE SALTS OF HORMONE HERBICIDES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CHLORFLURAZOLE. ... TREATMENT CAUSES SCORCHING & DRYING OUT OF SUSCEPTIBLE FOLIAGE WITHIN 2-6 DAYS. CHLORFLURAZOLE IS AN ACTIVE UNCOUPLER OF PHOSPHORYLATION IN PLANTS, & IT ALSO APPEARS TO INHIBIT THE HILL REACTION.
• INCOMPATIBILITIES: ON ACCOUNT OF THE ALKALINITY, AQUEOUS SALT FORMULATIONS SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH VERY ALKALI-UNSTABLE FUNGICIDES OR INSECTICIDES.
• FOLLOWING ORAL ADMIN TO RATS & RABBITS OF (14)C-LABELED 4,5-DICHLORO-2-TRIFLUOROMETHYLBENZIMIDAZOLE, (14)C WAS EXCRETED IN THE URINE IN 3 DAYS.
• YIELDS 4,5-DICHLORO-6-HYDROXY-2-TRIFLUOROMETHYLBENZIMIDAZOLE & 4,5-DICHLORO-7-HYDROXY-2-TRIFLUOROMETHYLBENZIMIDAZOLE IN RABBIT & RAT. /FROM TABLE/
