SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Reacts violently with strong oxidants and alkalis. This generates fire hazard.
10.2 Chemical stability
At cool temperatures, propylene glycol is stable in a well-closed container, but at high temperatures, in the open, it tends to oxidize, giving rise to products such as propionaldehyde, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, and acetic acid. Propylene glycol is chemically stable when mixed with ethanol (95%), glycerin, or water; aqueous solutions may be sterilized by autoclaving.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Combustible liquid when exposed to heat or flame ...PROPYLENE GLYCOL is hygroscopic. It is sensitive to excessive heat (tends to oxidize at high temperatures). This compound can react with oxidizing materials. It is incompatible with acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, chloroformates, and reducing agents. It dissolves many essential oils. A mixture of this compound with hydrofluoric acid and silver nitrate was put in a glass bottle which burst 30 minutes later. (NTP, 1992)

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Propylene glycol achieved 64% of its theoretical BOD using a sewage inoculum and a 5 day incubation period(1). A Warburg respirometer study employing a sewage seed showed that propylene glycol reached 78% of its theoretical BOD during a 40 day incubation period(2). Propylene glycol achieved 2.2, 56.7 and 80% of its theoretical BOD using a sewage inoculum and 5, 10, and 50 day incubation periods, respectively(3). Using raw wastewater and synthetic seawater as inoculum, propylene glycol achieved 55 and 83% of its theoretical BOD during 5 and 20 day incubation periods, respectively(4). Using wastewater from pretreated domestic sewage, propylene glycol reached 74.5% of its theoretical BOD in 5 days(5). Propylene glycol underwent 73-78% mineralization within 51 days when incubated with various agricultural soils from Clemson University, SC under laboratory conditions at 22 deg C and 1,000 ppm propylene glycol in the soil; 40-79% mineralization was observed for propylene glycol incubated in the same soils for 64 days at 7 deg C(6).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for propylene glycol(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.92(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).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of propylene glycol is estimated as 1(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.92(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that propylene glycol is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).
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. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
