Following eye contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and
lower eyelids. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Following ingestion:
Rinse mouth. Give e water to drink. In all cases of doubt, seek medical advice.
Notes for the doctor:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Treatment may vary with condition of victim and specifics of incident.

Appropriate engineering controls:
Local exhaust ventilation as necessary to control any air contaminants to within their exposure limits
during the use of this product. Adequate ventilation should be provided to keep dust concentrations below
acceptable exposure limits. Discharge from the ventilation system should comply with the applicable air
pollutions control regulations. Eliminate ignition sources.
Personal protective equipment:
Eye and face protection: Sufficient eye protection must be worn. Wear chemical safety goggles.
Skin protection: Use protective gloves. The glove material must be sufficiently impermeable
and resistant to the substance. Check the tightness before wear. Gloves
should be well cleaned before being removed, then stored in a well ventilated
location. Pay attention to skin care. Textile or leather gloves are completely
unsuitable.
Respiratory protection: In conditions where dust may be generated, wear a suitable dust mask.
Environmental exposure controls:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Industrial hygiene:
Avoid contact with skin. Do not allow the substance or its solution to dry on the skin. In case of contact
wash skin. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact rinse the affected eye(s). Avoid inhalation of dust.
Avoid contact with clothing. Contaminated clothes must be exchanged and cleaned carefully. Provide
washrooms with showers and if possible rooms with separate storage for street clothing and work clothing.

Limited data are available on the kinetics and metabolism of CBS which are restricted to some oral studies
in the rat. CBS can undergo hydrolysis to 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and cyclohexylamine (CHA)
(Hansson and Agrup, 1993).

11.2 Information on toxicological effects

Acute toxicity:
Acute Oral toxicity: LD50 > 5000 mg/kg (rat) (IUCLID);
Acute Inhalation toxicity: No data available.
Acute Dermal toxicity: LD50 > 7940 mg/kg (rabbit) (IUCLID);
Skin corrosion/irritation:
Skin, rabbit: slightly irritating (Draize–Test).
Serious eye damage/irritation:
Eyes, rabbit: slightly irritating (OECD Guide–line 405).
Respiratory or skin sensitization:
Data on sensitization caused by inhalation are not available. As no cases of respiratory sensitization after
occupational exposure have been reported yet, it can be assumed that CBS does not induce sensitization
via the inhalation route. CBS did not cause skin sensitization in guinea pigs. In contrast, there was one well
conducted human patch testing study which clearly demonstrated contact sensitization in humans. Data
from epidemiological studies are difficult to assess, but also indicate some skin sensitizing potential of
CBS. In consequence, existing classification with R 43 is confirmed. (RAR)
CMR effects (Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity and Toxicity for Reproduction):
Reproductive toxicity: In the hitherto performed studies on rats, neither a fertility disturbing action nor
any signs of developmental toxicity could be determined. A final valuation of the results is still pending.
Mutagenicity: In in-vitro-tests (on microorganisms as well as in HPRT- and mouse lymphoma assays) the
substance did not show any genotoxic activity. In-vivo-tests have not been reported.
Carcinogenicity: Insufficient data are available. Older studies on rats and mice do not suggest a
carcinogenic activity. The available report summeries are poorly documented.
STOT-single exposure and repeated exposure:
No relevant information available.

Section 12: Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity
Acute toxicity to fish: LC50 = 0.73 mg/l/96h (Oncorhynchus mykiss)( Monsanto (1981));
Acute toxicity to daphnia: LC50 = 4.1 mg/l/48h (Daphnia magna)( Monsanto (1979b));
Acute toxicity to algae: EC50 = 0.9 mg/l/96 h (Selenastrum capricornutum)(OECD Guide–line 201)

The biodegradation of CBS has been determined in a shake flask procedure (draft method n° 2 for the
proposed standard for the determination of the ultimate degradability of organic chemicals, August 1979,
ASTM committee). An inoculum of a bacterial suspension originating from raw sewage, soil and activated
sludge was incubated during 35 days with CBS concentrations of 20 and 30 mg/l.
The CO2 evolution was reported to be ca. 0% for the vessels with inoculum (duplicate) and 4 % for the
sterile control. CBS is considered to be persistent to biological degradation (Monsanto, 1992).
