SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

Reacts violently with strong oxidants and strong bases. Decomposes on heating and on burning.

Chemical stability

no data available

Possibility of hazardous reactions

If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.2-ETHYL HEXANOL is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. This compound is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids. (NTP, 1992)

Conditions to avoid

  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 39 mg/L - 48 h.
  • Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) - 11.5 mg/L - 72 h.
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: NOEC - activated sludge, domestic - > 300 mg/L - 24 h.

Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: 2-Ethylhexanol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 89.5% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). In BOD tests, 100% degradation occurred in 24 hours using an industrial wastewater (acclimated) inoculum, while no degradation occurred after 24 hours and 100% degradation occurred after 135 hours using a municipal wastewater (unacclimated) seed(2). In a BOD test using a sewage seed, 26%, 75%, 78%, and 86% of 2-ethylhexanol's theoretical BOD was exerted after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, respectively(3). When the test was repeated in synthetic seawater, the respective results were 58%, 64%, 84%, and 100% of the theoretical BOD consumed(3). After 5 days, 41.5% of theoretical BOD was consumed using an inoculum of mixed microbial cultures(4). 2-Ethylhexanol was degraded 31% when incubated with soil from a waste disposal site for 21 days; 52% degradation occurred when the sample was amended with a source of nitrogen(5). When 2-ethylhexanol was added to river water at 18-19 deg C, it started to degrade after a 3-4 day lag, after 8 and 9 days the theoretical BOD consumed was 30% and 59%, respectively(6).

Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 30 was calculated in fish for 2-ethylhexanol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.73(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 2-ethylhexanol can be estimated to be 35(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-ethylhexanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
