N N-Diethyl-m-toluamide/CAS 134-62-3/DEET

Short Description:

N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, commonly known as DEET, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It has a faint characteristic odor. Its chemical structure consists of a toluene ring, two ethyl groups, and an amide functional group, which contributes to its properties as an insect repellent. In its pure form, DEET is usually sticky and greasy.

N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) is generally considered soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and chloroform. However, its solubility in water is limited. Specifically, DEET is only slightly soluble in water, meaning it does not dissolve well in aqueous solutions. This property is one of the reasons why it is effective as an insect repellent, as it stays on the skin and is not easily washed off.

Is DEET harmful to human?

what

DEET  is a widely used insect repellent that is generally considered safe for humans when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. However, there are some considerations regarding its safety:

1. Skin Irritation: Some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions when using DEET, especially at higher concentrations. It's advisable to do a patch test before applying it extensively.

2. Inhalation and Ingestion: DEET should not be ingested or inhaled. Ingesting DEET can lead to serious health issues, and inhaling it in large amounts can cause respiratory problems.

3. Concentration: DEET is available in various concentrations, typically ranging from 5% to 100%. Higher concentrations provide longer-lasting protection but may also increase the risk of skin irritation. It's generally recommended to use the lowest effective concentration for the desired duration of protection.

4. Children and Pregnant Women: DEET can be used on children over two months old, but it should be applied with caution. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before using DEET.

5. Environmental Concerns: While DEET is effective against insects, there are concerns about its environmental impact, particularly in aquatic ecosystems.

 

Cautions when ship N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide?

Phenethyl alcohol

When shipping N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), there are several important precautions and considerations to keep in mind due to its chemical properties and potential hazards. Here are some key cautions:

1. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with local, national, and international regulations regarding the transportation of hazardous materials. DEET may be classified as a hazardous substance depending on its concentration and the regulations in your jurisdiction.

2. Packaging: Use appropriate packaging materials that are resistant to chemical exposure. Containers should be tightly sealed to prevent leaks and should be labeled clearly with the contents and any relevant hazard symbols.

3. Labeling: Properly label the shipment according to regulatory requirements. This includes hazard labels, handling instructions, and emergency contact information.

4. Temperature Control: DEET should be stored and shipped in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent degradation or changes in its chemical properties. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.

5. Avoiding Incompatibles: Keep DEET away from incompatible materials, such as strong oxidizers, as it may react with them. Ensure that the shipping environment is free from such substances.

6. Documentation: Prepare and include all necessary shipping documents, including safety data sheets (SDS), which provide information on the handling, storage, and emergency measures related to DEET.

7. Training: Ensure that personnel involved in the shipping process are trained in handling hazardous materials and are aware of the risks associated with DEET.

8. Emergency Procedures: Have emergency procedures in place in case of spills or leaks during transportation. This includes having spill kits and first aid supplies readily available.

9. Transport Mode Considerations: Different modes of transport (air, sea, road) may have specific regulations and requirements for shipping hazardous materials. Be sure to follow the guidelines for the chosen mode of transport.
