Tear Agent - CR

In 1974 the US Army approved the use of CR. CR has much greater irritating properties than CS and is about 5x more effective. In addition, CR is much less toxic than CS. CR is not used in its pure form (a yellow powder), but is dissolved in a solution of 80 parts of propylene glycol and 20 parts of water to form a 0.1% CR solution. It is used in solution as a riot control agent. [Pg.150]

Solubility Negligible in water. Soluble in polypropylene glycol, benzene, chloroform, or carbon tetrachloride. [Pg.150]

Stable in aqueous, heated acidic, and strong alkali solutions. Thermally stable. Never mix CR with organic or inorganic bleaches or peroxide. [Pg.151]

Store in nonporous containers on nonporous surfaces. CR will leach and persist in porous materials. [Pg.151]

The chemicals in Figure 11 are nerve agents (sarin, soman, cyclohexylsarin, tabun, and VX), mustard agents (mustard and O-mustard), nitrogen mustard agents (HN-1, HN-2, and UN-3), and tear gases (CR and CS). [Pg.374]

PS), ethyl bromoacetate, chloroacetane, bro-mobenzylcyanide (Agent CA), xylyl bromide, xylylene bromide, benzyl bromide, alpha-chloroacetophenone (Agent CN), O-chlorobenzylidine malononitrile (Agent CS) and dibenz(fe,/)-l,4-oxazepine (Agent CR). The latter is one of the most commonly used tear gas agents. [Pg.81]

The standard tear-producing agents currently in the US Army inventory for riot control are CS, CS1, CS2, CSX, and CR. The United States considers agent CN (popularly known as mace or tear gas) and its mixtures with various chemicals obsolete for military employment. This chapter includes these materials, however, for complete coverage of compounds with potential for use against US forces. This chapter also presents information regarding CN mixtures as an example of how agent properties can be tailored to the method of dissemination. [Pg.129]

CR (dibenzoxazepine) is a riot tear gas and incapacitating agent. It is a SENSORY irritant that causes ocular and other irritation. [Pg.86]
