Safety data sheet
Talstar Professional Insecticide SDS
FMC Corporation's sheet for Talstar Professional Insecticide lists four hazard classes, among them acute toxicity, oral, Category 4, so it is a hazardous chemical as 29 CFR 1910.1200(c) defines it. The HazCom program, label, sheet and training paragraphs follow ((e)(1), (f)(6), (g)(8) and (h)(1)), unless a scope paragraph of (b) takes the product out.

TALSTAR® PROFESSIONAL INSECTICIDE: facts read in the safety data sheet, by section
Section 2, hazards
Section 2 lists acute toxicity (oral and inhalation) Category 4 and specific target organ toxicity (central nervous system) Category 1 for single and repeated exposure.
Signal word: Danger. Pictograms: Exclamation Mark (GHS07), Health Hazard (GHS08).
H302 Harmful if swallowed.
H332 Harmful if inhaled.
H370 Causes damage to organs (Central nervous system).
H372 Causes damage to organs (Central nervous system) through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Section 3, ingredients
Bifenthrin (CAS 82657-04-3) at 7.9 %, and propane-1,2-diol (CAS 57-55-6) at over 10 to under 20 %.
Section 4, first aid
General: move out of the dangerous area, show the sheet to the doctor and do not leave the victim unattended.
Inhaled: move to fresh air. If unconscious, place in the recovery position and seek medical advice. Call a physician if symptoms persist.
Skin: take off contaminated clothing at once and flush the skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Eyes: flush with water as a precaution, remove contact lenses, protect the unharmed eye and keep the eye wide open while rinsing. Consult a specialist if irritation persists.
Swallowed: keep the respiratory tract clear, do not give milk or alcoholic beverages, give nothing by mouth to an unconscious person, and take the victim to hospital at once.
Section 5, fire fighting
Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. Do not spread spilled material with high-pressure water streams.
Do not let run-off from firefighting enter drains or water courses. Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately.
Combustion gives carbon oxides, and thermal decomposition can release irritating gases and vapors, among them fluorinated and chlorinated compounds, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride.
Section 7, handling and storage
Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Reseal opened containers carefully and keep them upright to prevent leakage.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area; do not breathe vapors or dust.
Section 8, exposure limits
The sheet lists no OSHA permissible exposure limit for this product. The only limit listed is a US WEEL of 10 mg/m3 for propane-1,2-diol, which is not an OSHA limit.
Section 8, protection
Respiratory protection: No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required.
Chemical resistant gloves, such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber or nitrile rubber.
Tightly fitting safety goggles, an eye wash bottle with pure water, and impervious clothing.
The sheet names eyewash equipment.
Section 9, flash point
does not flash
Section 9, other properties
Beige liquid with a mild odor. PH 6.7. Density 8.53 lb/gal. Soluble in water.
The sheet says the product does not flash.
Section 10, what to avoid
Avoid extreme temperatures, and protect from frost, heat and sunlight.
Avoid strong acids, bases and oxidizers.
Section 14, transport
UN3082, Environmentally hazardous substance, liquid, n.o.s. (Bifenthrin), hazard class 9, packing group III. The sheet gives the same entry for 49 CFR road transport.
What this product triggers under OSHA
The sheet says the product can be used as an insecticide only. A pesticide subject to FIFRA labeling is outside the HazCom labeling paragraphs, so no label is offered here; the sheet and training paragraphs still apply. (29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(5)(i))
A classified product brings a written program with its chemical list, training, an accessible sheet and workplace labels. (29 CFR 1910.1200(c), (e)(1), (f)(6), (g)(8), (h)(1); 1926.59)
Container label from this SDS
No label is offered here: the product is an EPA-registered pesticide. To label a container of a product you do use, the secondary container label maker builds the label from the sheet you type in.
Finding the Talstar Professional Insecticide sheet is the easy part
Keeping every sheet read, current and ready for an inspector is the work that never ends. HazComFast does it with your crew: the AI extracts each sheet, and every reading leaves a proof.
Extraction: the AI reads every sheet
Scanned, long or in Spanish, it reads
Drop in the Talstar Professional Insecticide sheet, scanned or not, in English or Spanish. HazComFast reads every page, with progress shown page by page, so a 32-page sheet gets read to the last page.
Every section a foreman needs
Composition, spill response, storage, physical properties, stability and toxicology land on the product page with their source, so the sections a foreman actually needs aren't buried in a PDF.
The AI proposes, a person signs off
Each hazard shows where it came from: extracted from the sheet, or confirmed by a named person on a date. Confidence is measured against the text of the sheet, and below a floor every field is checked by hand before it saves.
A pictogram is never guessed
A pictogram only goes on your label if it's actually on the sheet or follows from its H-codes. H225 on the sheet means GHS02 and DANGER on the label, derived from OSHA's Appendix C.
Checked against 200 real sheets
Every change to the AI is checked against a reference set of 200 real SDSs before it ships. A field it isn't sure about is highlighted for you to check, and the inventory flags products whose extraction hasn't been validated yet.
Proof of reading, without the chasing
Nobody has to remember to ask
Add a hazardous product to a site and every worker there gets one notice with a 7-day due date. A reminder follows at day 3 and an escalation at day 7.
“I read it” can't be a reflex tap
The confirm button stays grey until the worker has scrolled through first aid or to the last page of the PDF and has spent 15 seconds there. The record keeps how long and how far.
A proof of reading the worker keeps
The worker ticks an attestation, and the record keeps which SDS version they read, the server time and the device. They can download their own PDF of it.
A new sheet means a new reading
When a manufacturer updates a sheet and the hazards change, everyone who confirmed the old one is asked to read the new one. Each confirmation keeps which version they read, for which jobsite.
Who read what, in one console
See who hasn't read what, nudge everyone overdue in one click, and export last month's confirmations for one jobsite, each with the SDS version they read.
The reading joins the training file
Each confirmed reading also lands in the worker's training file as a HazCom reading record, so your training records and your SDS records tell the same story.
From the sheet to the label
A label that can't go out empty
A label with five pictograms keeps all five, because the format switches. A label with no hazard information won't print. When the sheet changes, you get a relabeling task with its six-month deadline.
English and Spanish, side by side
Hazard and precautionary statements show in English and Spanish on every product page. A Spanish sheet that says PELIGRO is recorded as DANGER, and the original file stays attached as you received it.
Every print on record
Every print run is logged with exactly what went on the labels. When a hazard changes, the relabel task can only be closed by a print made after the change.
In the field, on the phone
Scan the drum
Scan the QR code on a drum and the page shows the maker and the CAS number under the title, so you know you hold the right one. A drum taken out of inventory still opens its SDS, marked as removed.
Search inside the sheet
Type “eye contact” and you land on first aid. Pinch to zoom on the small print.
Still there with no signal
Offline, the worker opens the sheet itself, with first aid and what to do in a spill. “Available offline” only shows when the PDF is on the phone.
When the inspector asks
The binder, in one click
One click gives you the jobsite's SDS binder, with Talstar Professional Insecticide in it, as a ZIP with a CSV index, and a dated CSV or PDF of who confirmed reading what. That is what you hand an inspector or a GC.
No expired-sheet myth
HazComFast never tells you a sheet has expired, because OSHA doesn't set an expiration date. You choose your own review interval, and the app labels it as your internal policy.
The chemical list behind it
Bring your spreadsheet
Imported products get the same pictograms as ones entered by hand, and importing the same file twice doesn't duplicate anything.
Each product, at every site
Each product page shows every site it's stored at with quantities, and warns you if something incompatible is stored at the same site.
A program that stays true
The chemical list in your HazCom program is built from each jobsite's inventory. Remove a product and the program tells you the list is out of date, with a button to rebuild it.

Where do I get the SDS for Talstar Professional Insecticide?
From FMC Corporation. The button at the top of this page opens its own copy (SDS number 50001318, Revision date Apr 29, 2024). It covers Talstar Professional Insecticide (product code 50001318).
Is Talstar Professional Insecticide a hazardous chemical under OSHA?
Yes: Section 2 lists four hazard classes, among them acute toxicity, oral, Category 4 (29 CFR 1910.1200(c)). As a pesticide, its label follows FIFRA (1910.1200(b)(5)(i)).
