SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Reacts with acids and bases. Decomposes on burning. This produces irritating fumes.
10.2 Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
DICYCLOHEXYL PHTHALATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. This compound reacts with oxidizers. It hydrolyzes under acid and basic conditions. (NTP, 1992)
10.4 Conditions to avoid
no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizing agents
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
Thermal decomposition products of dicyclohexyl phthalate (major constituent of the film label adhesive are cyclohexanol, cyclohexyl ether, phthalic anhydride and cyclohexyl benzoate.

SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Dicyclohexyl phthalate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 68.5% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). Dicyclohexyl phthalate had an average aerobic biodegradation half-life of 11.1 days calculated in 6 river sediment samples taken from Taiwan rivers(2). Dicyclohexyl phthalate present at 3,000 ppm, exhibited a biodegradation half-life of 4 days at 30 deg C using the soil microbe Pseudomonas acidovorans 256-1, in media containing 6000 ppm phthalate esters; phthalic acid and cyclohexyl alcohol were produced(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 5750 was calculated in fish for dicyclohexyl phthalate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 6.2(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC). However, bioconcentration studies on compounds which are structurally similar suggest that bioconcentration may be lower than that indicated by the regression-derived equations due to the ability of aquatic organisms to readily metabolize this class of compounds(3).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the log Koc of dicyclohexyl phthalate can be estimated to be 4.12(SRC). An estimated log Koc of 4.47 was reported for dicyclohexyl phthalate(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these log Koc values suggest that dicyclohexyl phthalate is expected to be immobile in soil.
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.
