MALATHION Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Malathion is a yellow to brown liquid organophosphate insecticide with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₉O₆PS₂, used to control a wide range of pests in agricultural and residential settings. It is effective against insects such as mosquitoes, aphids, and lice. Malathion works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine and subsequent paralysis of the insect. Despite its effectiveness, malathion is toxic to humans and animals if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
