SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive gases including nitrogen oxides. The solution in water is a strong base. It reacts violently with acid and is corrosive. Reacts violently with oxidants, nitric acid and organic nitro compounds. Attacks many metals in the presence of water.
10.2 Chemical stability
no data available
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
LOW, WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAMEThe vapour is heavier than air.DIETHYLENETRIAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials
Explosive solutions of nitromethane in dichloromethane, sensitized by addition of 10-12% of /bis(2-aminoethyl)amine/, retained their sensitivity at -50 deg C. Presence of 0-5% of the triamine considerable increases detonation sensitivity of nitromethane.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced during combustion of this material.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
Chemicals containing two terminal amino groups on a noncyclic compound are associated with persistance in 5-day BOD tests(4). Diamines, such as diethylenetriamine, in which the 2 nitrogen groups were not separated by at least 3 carbon atoms were recalcitrant and did not support bacterial growth as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy(6). No degradation of diethylenetriamine was observed in a 5-day BOD test using an acclimated sewage inoculum(4). Diethylenetriamine is listed as resistant to biodegradation according to the biodegradability test of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry(1). This test utilizes a mixed inoculum containing sewage, soil and surface water. The BOD was 0% of theoretical in 20 days when incubated with sewage(2). However, the BOD increased to 70% theoretical when an inoculum composed of treated petrochemical effluent, sewage and soil was used that had previously been acclimated for 45-60 days(2). In other BOD tests, 55% of the diethylenetriamine in wastewater biodegraded in 6 weeks(3) and 0% degraded in 2 weeks(5).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Diethylenetriamine has a very low estimated log octanol/water partition coefficient, -2.13(1), and, therefore, would not be expected to bioconcentrate in fish(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc for diethylenetriamine estimated from molecular structure is 88(1). Therefore, it would not be expected to adsorb significantly to soil or sediment. According to a suggested classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc suggests that diethylenetriamine would be highly mobile 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.

Other Information
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
