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
CombustibleEthers, such as DIETHYLENE GLYCOL N-HEXYL ETHER can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
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 fumes.

SECTION 12: Ecological information
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Pimephales sp. - 200 mg/L - 96 h.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - > 100 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) - 198.31 mg/L - 72 h.
- Toxicity to microorganisms: NOEC - activated sludge, domestic - 1 000 mg/L - 30 min. Remarks:Respiration rate.
Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Diethylene glycol hexyl ether was shown to biodegrade 34% in 7 days at 30 deg C using a pure culture of Pseudomonas sp 4-5-3(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 4 was calculated in fish for diethylene glycol hexyl ether(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.70(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 hexyl ether is estimated as 200(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.70(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that diethylene glycol hexyl ether is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
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.
