Compare this material →Awaiting human verificationThis material’s published information has not yet been verified by a human reviewer.
Human verification concerns the stated information and scope. It is separate from an EcoSafe score, certification or safety approval. Overview
Viscous, brown, tan, or dark-amber liquid. [insecticide] [Note: Technical product is a mixture of cis- & trans-isomers.] Source-checked chemical identity with NIOSH physical-property and occupational-hazard context. Supplier grade, manufacturing origin and EcoSafe assessment require separate review.

CAS identity reference ↗Core data coverage: 75%
12 of 16 defined fields have sourced information. This is data coverage, not a safety score, EcoSafe assessment or human-verification mark.
CAS cross-check: CAS 78-34-2 appears on the NIOSH card and in the returned PubChem CID’s synonyms. The CAS checksum and molecular-weight consistency were screened; variable-form and ambiguous matches were held out.
