Abstract
Abstract The enthylenethiournea (ETU) contents of ethylenebisdithiocarbamate formulations have been determined by reversed-phase chromatography. The method is simple, rapid (25 min), and allows to control easily the analysis time in order to minimize the ETU formation from the intermediary degradation products in solutions. The analyzed products contain less than 0.2% ETU except for more than three years old formulations. Samples stored under normal conditions have shown an ETU increase 30 to 80% after two years.
