Toxicological data
As far as possible and customary, SI units are used. Unless otherwise noted, the data given apply to standard conditions .

Sulfluramide is a chemical compound from the group of sulfonic acid amides and per- and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS) that is effective as an insecticide . It is mainly broken down to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), but can also be converted into PFOA .

Extraction and presentation

Sulfluramide is made by reacting perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride and ethylamine .

use

The compound is used in bait cans to fight ants , cockroaches and termites .

Admission

Sulfluramide is not contained in plant protection products that are approved in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. There is no entry for this compound in the EU plant protection product database.

The last product approvals in the USA expired at the end of 2012, the sell-off periods ended at the end of 2013. Sulfluramide is still used in Brazil. Annual production increased from around 30 tons in 2003 to 60 tons in 2013.
