SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

10.1Reactivity

The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts with strong oxidants, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, aluminium and copper.

10.2Chemical stability

Volatile liquid.

10.3Possibility of hazardous reactions

Moderate, when exposed to heat or flame1-METHOXY-2-PROPANOL is a methoxy 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 them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

SECTION 12: Ecological information

12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Leuciscus idus - > 4 600 - < 10 000 mg/L - 96 h.
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: LC0 - Daphnia magna - < 1 412 mg/L - 48 h.
• Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) - > 1 000 mg/L - 7 d.
• Toxicity to microorganisms: IC50 - activated sludge - > 1 000 mg/L - 3 h.

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: 1-Methoxy-2-hydroxypropane, present at 100 mg/L, reached 90% of its theoretical BOD in four weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). The aerobic biodegradation of 1-methoxy-2-hydroxypropane was studied in two sandy loam soils; half-lives ranged from <1 day at 0.2 ppm to <7 days at 100 ppm(2). 1-Methoxy-2-propanol was reported to have a half-life of 17.0 days in an OECD 301B Guideline test(3). In a biodegradation test using an APHA method with 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 58% of the theoretical BOD was reached after 20 days(3).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for 1-methoxy-2-hydroxypropane(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.49(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).

12.4Mobility in soil

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

12.5Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1Disposal 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.
