SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. This produces irritating fumes. Reacts with strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
10.2 Chemical stability
no data available
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Combustible liquid.BENZYL ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is also incompatible with acids, bases and reducing agents. (NTP, 1992)
10.4 Conditions to avoid
no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials
STABILITY: This chemical may be sensitive to light. Solutions of this chemical in water, DMSO, 95% ethanol or acetone should be stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions.REACTIVITY: This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is also incompatible with acids, bases and reducing agents. (NTP, 1992)
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits irritating fumes.
SECTION 11: Toxicological information

- Inhalation: no data available
- Dermal: no data available
Skin corrosion/irritation
no data available
Serious eye damage/irritation
no data available
Respiratory or skin sensitization

Carcinogenicity
Evaluation: No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogenicity of benzyl acetate were available. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of benzyl acetate. Overall evaluation: Benzyl acetate is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity in humans (Group 3).
Reproductive toxicity
no data available
STOT-single exposure
The vapour is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure far above the OEL could cause unconsciousness.
STOT-repeated exposure
The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. The substance may have effects on the kidneys.
Aspiration hazard
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Oryzias latipes - 4 mg/L - 96 h.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 17 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) - 110 mg/L - 72 h.
- Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 - activated sludge - 855 mg/L - 3 h. Remarks:Respiration rate.
12.2 Persistence and degradability
Benzyl acetate reached 92 to 96% of its theoretical BOD over a period of 4 weeks using an activated sludge seed and an initial chemical concentration of 100 mg/l(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 18 was calculated for benzyl acetate(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.96(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of benzyl acetate is estimated as approximately 180(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.96(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that benzyl acetate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
13.1 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.
