SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes. Reacts with oxidants.
10.2 Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
CombustibleBUTYL BENZYL PHTHALATE 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. Can generate electrostatic charges. [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 250].

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Butyl benzyl phthalate was degraded 74-79% in 10-50 days at 25 deg C from an initial concentration of 100 mg/L, using 30 mg/L activated sludge(1). Butyl benzyl phthalate was completely biodegraded in Rhine River water over a 6 day incubation period(2). Butyl benzyl phthalate incubated in a lake water/sediment microcosm biodegraded to intermediates with a half-life of 5 days and was completely biodegraded with a half-life of about 13 days, when incubated in river water a half-life of 2 days was reported for the degradation to intermediates(3). Butyl benzyl phthalate was biodegraded 93 and >99% using a semi-continuous activated sludge with starting concentrations of 3.3 and 133.3 mg/L, respectively(4). Butyl benzyl phthalate had half-lives of 1.5 and 0.32 days in river die-away tests with a starting concentration of 1 mg/L and 1 ug/L, and a half-life of 1.4 days using a lake microcosm(5). Butyl benzyl phthalate, at a concentration of 20 ppm, digested for 28 days had 87% degradation(6). Using a fresh water inoculum, butyl benzyl phthalate was degraded 100% in 7 days from a starting concentration of 1 ppm(6). Butyl benzyl phthalate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 80.9% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(7).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) exposed to 9.73 ug/L of C14 labeled butyl benzyl phthalate for 21 days had a measured BCF values of 663 and 772(1). However, these studies used total radioactive residues in whole fish to calculate the BCF; the metabolism of butyl benzyl phthalate in the fish was not considered(1). Bluegill sunfish exposed to uniformly ring labeled butyl benzyl phthalate for 3.27 days had a BCF of 9.4(1). According to a classification scheme(2), BCF values of zero to 30 are low and from 100 to 1,000 are high. Biota-sediment accumulation factors for butyl benzyl phthalate were 4.3, 4.6 and 2.8 in roach (Rutilus rutilus), chub (Leuciscus cephalus) and perch (Perca fluviatilis), respectively; fish were collected from the Orge River, France from Jul 2009 to Apr 2010(3). BCFs of 0.13-45 were reported for butyl benzyl phthalate in water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) grown under different conditions on sludge from waste water treatment plants in China(4).
12.4 Mobility in soil
A log Koc value of 3.3 was measured from unsaturated soil columns at pH 4.8(1). Other experimental log Koc values given are 3.21(2) and 3.997(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that butyl benzyl phthalate is expected to have low to no mobility in soil. An experimental log Koc of >4.7 was determined from sediment samples from Lake Yssel, the Netherlands(5).
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.
