Note: Physical data are typical values, but may vary from sample to sample. A typical value should not be
construed as a guaranteed analysis or as a specification.
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity: Stable under normal conditions of use.
Chemical Stability: This material is stable under normal handling and storage conditions.
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat. Do not store near heat or flame.
Incompatible Materials: Not known.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions may produce gases such as hydrogen chloride,
hydrogen fluoride, oxides of carbon and unidentified organic compounds.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, Eye and Skin contact.
Symptoms of Exposure:
Eye Contact: Minimally irritating based on toxicity studies.
Skin Contact: Minimally irritating based on toxicity studies.
Ingestion: Slightly toxic if ingested based on toxicity studies.
Inhalation: Low inhalation toxicity based on toxicity studies.
Delayed, immediate and chronic effects of exposure: None expected.
Toxicological Data:
Data from laboratory studies conducted on this formulation:
Oral: Rat LD
50
: >5,000 mg/kg (females)
Dermal: Rat LD
50
: >2,000 mg/kg
Inhalation: Rat 4-hr LC
50
: >2.00 mg/l
Eye Irritation: Rabbit: Minimally irritating
Skin Irritation: Rabbit: Minimally irritating
Skin Sensitization: Not a contact sensitizer in guinea pigs following repeated skin exposure
Carcinogenicity / Chronic Health Effects: Bifenthrin has produced an increased incidence of urinary bladder
tumors in male mice at the highest dose level tested. This response, however, was considered equivocal and not
evidence of a clear compound related effect. The U.S. EPA has classified bifenthrin as a Class C carcinogen (a
possible human carcinogen). May contain kaolin, see assessment of carcinogenicity below.
Reproductive Toxicity: In studies with animals, bifenthrin did not cause reproductive toxicity.
Developmental Toxicity: Animal tests with bifenthrin have not demonstrated developmental effects.
Genotoxicity: Tests with bifenthrin have shown an absence of genotoxicity.
Assessment of Carcinogenicity: None listed with ACGIH, IARC, NTP or OSHA.

: 4450 ppm
Rainbow Trout 96-hour LC

: 0.0146 ug/bee
Environmental Fate:
In the soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and degrades at a slow rate that is governed by soil
characteristics. Bifenthrin will also persist in aquatic sediments. Bifenthrin has a high Log Pow (>6.0), a high
affinity for organic matter, and is not mobile in soil. Therefore, there is little potential for movement into ground
water. There is the potential for bifenthrin to bioconcentrate (BCF = 11,750).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal Method:
Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a
violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your
