Climbazole (Ref: 106162)

(Also known as: P64; BAY MEB 6401)

Climbazole is a fungicide used mainly for personal care products. It has a low aqueous solubility and can be persistent in soil systems. Based on its physico-chemical properties it would not be expected to leach to groundwater. Not a great deal is known about its ecotoxicity but it is moderately toxic to fish and honeybees. Climbazole has a moderate mammalian toxicity.

The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
