JEFFSOL® AG-1555

JEFFSOL® AG-1555 carbonate is 40 CFR 180.950 and List 4A (minimal risk classification) approved for use in agricultural pesticide formulations. It is a clear, mobile, hygroscopic liquid at room temperature. This product is an excellent solvent for many organic and inorganic materials. It offers excellent performance as an adjuvant enhancement agent in agricultural pesticide formulations. JEFFSOL® AG-1555 carbonate can be used as a formulation component for tank mix adjuvants and as a solvent/co-solvent in emulsifiable and microemulsifiable concentrate formulations.

Safety & Health

Safety Information
  • JEFFSOL® AG-1555 carbonate may be satisfactorily stored in carbon steel or stainless steel tanks using steel pipes and pumps.
  • Because of the decomposition potential of carbonates, the tanks should be equipped with pressure relief devices and have an inert gas pad.
  • Satisfactory pump gasket materials include TEFLON® fluoropolymer, EPR, neoprene, natural rubber, cork and polyethylene.
  • Unsatisfactory gasket materials are BUNA N, HYPALON® chlorosulfonated polyethylene and VITON® fluoroelastomer.

Biodegradability and Environmental Safety:

  • Recent studies indicate that JEFFSOL® AG 1555 carbonate is very readily biodegradable.
  • Values of up to 90% of Theoretical Oxygen Demand (ThOD) are obtained after 15 days at typical concentrations normally observed in waste water treatment plant and higher levels (250-2500 mg/l). Other recent studies indicate biodegradation of >90% after 28 days.
  • JEFFSOL® AG-1555 carbonate is practically nontoxic to rats by a single oral exposure or to rabbits by a single dermal exposure.
  • This product is minimally irritating to the eyes and skin of rabbits and did not produce dermal sensitization in laboratory animals.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • JEFFSOL® AG-1555 should retain its conformance to sales specifications for a period of at least two years from date of manufacture if the product is stored at less than 100°F (37.8°C) in its undamaged, unopened, factory packaged container.
  • In general, the user should determine the suitability of any chemical compound, no matter what the shelf life or length of time of storage.
  • Each user should conduct a sufficient investigation to establish the suitability of any product for his intended use.
