Binapacryl (Ref: FMC 9044)
Last updated: 23/08/2024
(Also known as: endosan; HOE 02784; OMS 571)

SUMMARY
Binapacryl is a fungicide. It has a low aqueous solubility, is highly volatile and would not normally be expected to leach to groundwater. Binapacryl may be persistent in soil systems. It is highly toxic to mammals, may cause adverse development/fertility effects and is a known skin irritant. Binapacryl is highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates and moderately toxic to birds and honeybees.
