Flash Point:

No flash point was observed up to a temperature of 285°C.

Auto-flammability:

542.6°C ± 1.1°C (mean of 5 assays)

Hydrolysis:

Half-life in hours for the (Z)- isomer 6300 (pH 4), 6500 (pH 7) and 2100 (pH 9); (E)- isomer 6600 (pH 4), 4900 (pH 7) and 1700 (pH 9).

Photolysis:

Half-life for phototransformation in water at 21°C and a nominal pH of 7 was 482 hours (Calmels, 1992; Robson 1992, 1993, 1994)

Data on the solubility of chlorfenvinphos in water, fat and organic solvents and the octanol-water partition coefficient were also supplied but were not supported by full study reports (Anon, 1996c)

Formulations

Chlorfenvinphos is formulated as GR, WP and EC products.
