XMC belongs to a class of insecticides known as carbamates. These pesticides behave similarly to another class of chemical compounds known as organophosphates because both of them are cholinesterase enzyme inhibitors. This process inhibits proper nerve function and kills insects. Since 1956, carbamates have been a popular pesticide for home, garden and agricultural use.

Acute exposure to low doses of cholinesteraze enzyme inhibitors in humans may cause tremors, nausea and weakness. At higher doses, paralysis or death may occur. It is unknown whether XMC is a carcinogen, endocrine disruptor, or reproductive or developmental toxin.

The melting point of XMC is 99 degrees Celsius. At 20 degrees Celsius, it has a water solubility value of 470 milligrams per liter. At 25 degrees Celsius, it has a vapor pressure of 3.60E-04 millimeters Hg.

XMC has no ISO common name, and is otherwise known as 3,5-Xylyl methylcarbamate, Cosban, Carbaron and Macbal, among other names. Its chemical formula is , C10H13NO2, and its International Chemical Identifier is InChI=1S/C10H13NO2/c1-7-4-8(2)6-9(5-7)13-10(12)11-3/h4-6H,1-3H3,(H,11,12).
