SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts violently with strong oxidants.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
CombustibleA violent explosion occurred when lithium aluminum hydride was being used to dry diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The ignition may have occurred due to the presence of large amounts of water or perhaps peroxide formed in the ether. About 75% of the ether had been removed when the explosion occurred, [MCA Case History 1494 (1968)].
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Glycol ethers, glycols, ketones, and alcohols undergo violent decomposition in contact with 68-72% perchloric acid
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitrogen oxides/.

- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether had a 37.0% COD removal at 30 deg C from a starting concentration of 600 mg COD/L (time period not given) indicating little degradation compared to 95% degradation of ethylene glycol monophenyl ether(1). Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether was degraded 33% after 25 days and a 7 day lag period using an activated sludge from an industry producing the chemical(2). 40% was removed in a 1% salt solution after 25 days with a 20 day lag period, higher salt concentrations inhibited the degradation of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for diethylene glycol dimethyl ether(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.36(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is estimated as 15(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.36(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
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.
