SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
100 ppm; NIOSH considers phenyl glycidyl ether to be a potential occupational carcinogen.
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. The substance polymerizes under the influence of acids, bases and amines. Reacts violently with strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
PHENYL GLYCIDYL ETHER, an ether, can act as a base. 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
Incompatibilities: Contact with strong oxidizing agents may cause fires and explosions. Contact with amines, strong acids, and strong bases may cause polymerization with the liberation of heat and spattering. Exposure to light and air may result in the formation of explosive peroxides.
Hazardous decomposition products
Energy of decomposition (in range 360-450 deg C) measured as 0.626 kJ/g.
SECTION 11: Toxicological information
Acute toxicity
- Oral: LD50 - rat - 4 260 mg/kg bw.
- Inhalation: LC100 - rat (male) - 323 ppm.
- Dermal: LD50 - rabbit (male) - 1 666 mg/kg bw.
Skin corrosion/irritation
no data available
Serious eye damage/irritation
no data available
Respiratory or skin sensitization
no data available
Germ cell mutagenicity
no data available
Carcinogenicity
Evaluation: No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogenicity of phenyl glycidyl ether were available. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of phenyl glycidyl ether. Overall evaluation: Phenyl glycidyl ether is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
Reproductive toxicity
no data available
STOT-single exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
STOT-repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
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
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Carassius auratus - 43 mg/L - 96 h.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: A 5-day theoretical BOD of 6% was measured for phenyl glycidyl ether using a standard dilution method and an effluent from a biological sanitary waste treatment plant as the inoculum(1). A 5-day theoretical BOD of 0% was measured using a BOD dilution method and an acclimated sewage inoculum(2). Phenyl glycidyl ether, present at 100 mg/L, reached 33% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 8 was calculated for phenyl glycidyl ether(SRC), using a water solubility of 2,400 mg/L(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 phenyl glycidyl ether is estimated as 60(SRC), using a water solubility of 2,400 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that phenyl glycidyl ether is expected to have high mobility in soil.
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.
