SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity

Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
COMBUSTIBLE.TRIPROPYLENE GLYCOL is a ether-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 alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. May attack some forms of plastics (USCG, 1999).

Persistence and degradability
By analogy to dipropylene glycol, a structurally similar compound, tripropylene glycol is expected to be resistant to biodegradation(SRC). Polypropylene glycol-utilizing bacteria were isolated by enrichment culture; one strain from this culture was able to grow using various polypropylene glycols (diol and triol types) as a carbon source(1). Dipropylene glycol in a five day BOD test, reached 0(2)-5%(3) of the theoretical oxygen demand. Over a four week period with dipropylene glycol added at 30 mg/L, only 0-3% by BOD was degraded(4). Biodegradation of dipropylene glycol proceeds through the oxidation of terminal alcohol groups leading to the cleavage of the ether linkage(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 0 was calculated for tripropylene glycol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.50(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this BCF value indicates that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will not be an important fate process(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of tripropylene glycol is estimated as approximately 13(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.50(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that tripropylene glycol has very high mobility in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects

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.
