SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts with strong oxidants.

Chemical stability

no data available

Possibility of hazardous reactions

CombustibleETHOXY TRIGLYCOL is a ethoxy-alcohol derivative. The ether being relatively unreactive. 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 alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

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 acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: In a mixture of triethylene glycol monoethyl ether and other higher homologs, BOD values 0, 7, and 8% of the theoretical BOD were reported for day 5, 10, and 20, respectively(1). A 5 day BOD test using acclimated mixed cultures resulted in an experimental BOD 69% that of the theoretical value(2). Triethylene glycol monoethyl ether was rapidly biodegraded in the BOD test with 38, 90, 94, and 100% degradation reported for 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, respectively(3). Filtered domestic fresh wastewater using non-acclimated seed gave biodegradation rates for triethylene glycol monoethyl ether of 8%, 47%, 63% and 71% in 5, 10,15 and 20 days, respectively(4). Filtered domestic salt wastewater using non-acclimated seed gave biodegradation rates for triethylene glycol monoethyl ether of 1%, 10%, 12% and 22% in 5, 10,15 and 20 days, respectively(4). A 5 day BOD test with effluent from a waste treatment plant at 20 deg C and non-acclimated seed gave a BOD of 0.05 g/g which was 3% of theoretical value of 1.89 g/g(4).

Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for triethylene glycol monoethyl ether(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.96(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

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of triethylene glycol monoethyl ether can be estimated to be 10(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that triethylene glycol monoethyl ether 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.
