Molinat is an active ingredient for crop protection and a chemical compound from the group of derivatives of thiocarbamates .
Extraction and presentation
Molinate can be obtained by reacting phosgene with ethyl mercaptan and further reacting the intermediate product ethyl chlorothiol formate with hexamethyleneimine .
properties
Molinate is a yellowish liquid that is difficult to ignite. It is stable under acidic and alkaline conditions.
use
Molinat is used as an active ingredient in crop protection products. It is a selective herbicide and is used to control weeds in rice fields. It is toxic to germinating broad-leaved weeds and grasses. The effect is based on the inhibition of lipid synthesis . Molinate was introduced in the United States in 1964.
Admission
Molinat was approved in the EU as an active ingredient in plant protection products with effect from August 1, 2004, but this approval expired on July 31, 2014. The transition period ended on January 31, 2016. Since then, no pesticides containing this active ingredient have been approved in any of the EU countries including Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
safety instructions
The vapors of Molinat can form an explosive mixture with air when the substance is heated above its flash point (100 ° C).
