Use
Fluoroacetamide is an odourless, tasteless, white, crystalline water soluble. It is a fluorinated
amide and reacts with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable
gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents.
Fluoroacetamide is used as a rodenticide and insecticide to control rabbits but is dangerous
for other species of pests, farm livestock, and humans. Fluoroacetamide is a noncombustible
substance itself and does not burn but may decompose upon heating to
produce irritating, corrosive, and/or toxic fumes. On decomposition, fluoroacetamide
releases nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon
dioxide, HF gas, and nitrogen gas.
