Climbazole (Ref: 106162)	Last updated: 22/01/2023
(Also known as: P64; BAy MEB 6401)

SUMMARY

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.
