| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
White crystals with a fishlike odor. Used as a plant growth regulator. Said to be effective for cereal grains, tomatoes, and peppers. | [Reactivity Profile]
CHLORMEQUAT CHLORIDE(999-81-5) is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CHLORMEQUAT CHLORIDE(999-81-5) is corrosive to unprotected metals. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Very hygroscopic. Water soluble. Aqueous solutions are acidic. | [Hazard]
Toxic; corrosive. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation of spray and prolonged or repeated contact with skin should be avoided. | [Potential Exposure]
People engaged in the manufacture,
formulation, and application of this plant growth regulator
said to be effective for cereal grains, tomatoes, and
peppers. | [Fire Hazard]
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, CHLORMEQUAT CHLORIDE is probably combustible. | [First aid]
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency
medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not
breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and
isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact
with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact,
avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim
warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion,
or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that
medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved
and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing
overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As
first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy. | [Shipping]

Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical
Name Required. | [Incompatibilities]
Chlormequat chloride decomposes on
heating or in fire forming nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen chloride fumes. This chemical decomposes on heating with strong aqueous alkali solutions
forming trimethylamine and other gaseous products.
Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire and explosions. Attacks many metals in presence of water. | [Description]

Chlormequat (Chlorocholine) chloride is a synthetic plant growth regulator that inhibits gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis. It is used to study the mechanisms and effects of gibberellins on plant cell growth and differentiation. | [storage]
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with chlormequat chloride you should be trained on its proper handlingand storage. Keep away from strong oxidizers. Store in acool, dry place and protect from heat and moisture. Sourcesof ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where this chemical is used, handled, or stored in amanner that could create a potential fire or explosionhazard. |
