PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS 
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS 
DANGER 
Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. May cause allergic skin reactions. Do not 
get in eyes. Wear goggles or face shield when handling. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly with 
soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco or the toilet. Remove and 
separately launder clothing before reuse.

f·· 
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE): 
Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are barrier laminate, nitrile rubber or neoprene rubber. If you 
want more options, follow the instructions for category E on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart. 
All mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers must wear: 
-long-sleeved shirt and long pants or a coverall that covers all parts of the body except the head, hands and feet 
-shoes plus socks 
-chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as barrier laminate, nitrile rubber or neoprene rubber 
-chemical resistant apron 
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning / maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent 
and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. 
User Safety Recommendations 
• Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. 
• Users should remove clothingiPPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean 
clothing.

handlers or other people AND the system is functioning properly and is used and maintained in accordance with the 
manufacturer's written operating instructions, the handlers need only wear long-sleeve shirt, long pants, chemical 
resistant gloves, shoes, and socks. However, the respirator must be immediately available for use in an emergency, such 
as a spill or equipment breakdown. C C C C C

Seed that has been treated with this product that is then packaged and offered for sale or distribution must contain the 
following labeling: 
This bag contains seed treated with captan. To avoid possible adverse health effects, when opening this bag to load the 
treated seed, wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks, chemical resistant gloves, NIOSH-approved dust -
mist respirator (dust mist filtering respirator with MSHAINIOSH approval number prefix TC-21 C, or a NIOSH approved 
respirator with any N2, R, P, or HE filter) and eye protection. 
When using formulations that do not contain dye, to comply with 21 CFR Chapter 1, Section 2.25, all grain seed treated 
with an economic poison must be colored to distinguish and prevent subsequent inadvertent use as a food for man or 
feed for animals.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Not for use on agricultural 
establishments in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box or other seed-treatment applications at or immediately before 
planting. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage, disposal or cleaning of equipment. 
PESTICIDE STORAGE 
Store in a cool, dry location. Do not store in direct hot sunlight. After prolonged storage in intense cold, allow product to return to 
approximately 25°F before using. 
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL 
Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If 
these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control 
Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA regional office for guidance 
CONTAINER DISPOSAL 
Rigid, Non-refillable containers small enough to shake (I.e., with capacities equal to or less than 5 gallons). 
Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or 
equivalent) promptly after emptying. 
Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow 
begins to drip. Fill the container 1,4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application eqUipment or a mix 
tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. 
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds 
after the flow begins to drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank or collect rinsate for later use or 
disposal. Insert pressure rinSing nozzle in the side of the container, and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 
seconds after the flow begins to drip. 
Once container is rinsed, offer for recycling if available, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or incineration, or if allowed by 
state and local authorities, by burning. If burned stay out of smoke.

TREATED SEED DISPOSAL 
To dispose of out-of-date or otherwise unmarketable seed which has been treated with captan for seed protectant 
purposes: Broadcast and lightly incorporate seed into field soils using disc or other suitable implement. If rate of captan 
contained on the seed is unknown, have seed analyzed by a qualified analytical laboratory to determine. Do not plant 
seed at a seeding rate which will result in the application of more than 32 pounds of captan per acre per year. Any 
resulting crop may be destroyed by chemical or mechanical means, or, if useful for food or feed purposes, may be 
harvested for that use. 
Read all directions before using and use only as specified on this label. 
DIRECTIONS: Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of Captan 400 Seed Protectant into the required amount of 
water for the slurry treater equipment and dilution rate to be used. Clean equipment thoroughly between operations. 
IMPORTANT: Before using - stir thoroughly to mix contents or use entire container at one time. Do not combine colloidal 
suspensions, wettable powder or emulsifiable concentrates unless previous experience assures compatibility. 
Refillable Containers 
End users are authorized to remove tamper evident cables as required to remove the product from the container unless the container is 
equipped with one way valves and refilling or returning is planned. If this is the case, end users are not authorized to remove tamper 
evident cables, one way valves or clean container. See Container Disposal instructions under Storage and Disposal. 
PRODUCT INFORMATION: 
Captan 400 Seed Protectant is a flowable concentrate especially formulated for the treatment of seed prior to storage and
