SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Decomposes on heating. This produces irritating fumes. Reacts with strong oxidants.
10.2 Chemical stability
no data available
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
CombustibleDI-ISOBUTYL PHTHALATE reacts with acids to liberate heat along with isobutyl alcohol and phthalic acid. May react sufficiently exothermically with strong oxidizing acids to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. Can generate electrostatic charges in handling [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980. p. 250].

SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Pimephales promelas (Fathead minnow) age 29 days, mean length 17.6 mm, mean weight 0.056 g; Conditions: flow through, 25.1 deg C, pH 7.38, hardness 44.8 mg/L CaCO3, alkalinity 49.4 mg/L CaCO3, dissolved oxygen 7.0 mg/L; Concentration: 0.9 mg/L for 96 hr (95% confidence limit: 0.73-1.10 mg/L) /99+% purity
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: EC50; Species: Scenedesmus subspicatus (Green algae); Concentration: 1 mg/L for 72 hr; Effect: biomass /Conditions of bioassay not specified in source examined/ /Purity 97.5% (peak area)
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Diisobutyl phthalate was completely biodegraded during 6 day die-away tests using water from an urban river and polluted seawater(1). In seawater, diisobutyl phthalate was degraded 15 and 35% after 7 and 14 days, respectively(1). Diisobutyl phthalate had a reported first-order biodegradation constant rate of 0.8/day with a half-life of 0.87 days in a river die-away test shaken at 25 deg C(2). A removal efficiency of 65% was reported following analysis of the Kalby wastewater treatment plant in Lund, Sweden on October 21, 2002; influent and effluent concentrations were 0.04 and 0.01 ug/L, respectively(3). Diisobutyl phthalate reached 98% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum in the Japanese MITI test(4).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 240 was calculated in fish for diisobutyl phthalate(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.11(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is 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(4).
12.4 Mobility in soil
A measured log Koc value of 3.14 (Koc 1,380) has been reported for diisobutyl phthalate in soil(1-2) and a measured Koc of 1,020 has been reported in suspended solids(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that diisobutyl phthalate is expected to have low mobility in soil. A log Koc value of 5.90 was measured in suspended sediment-seawater samples collected from False Creek Harbor, Van Couver, British Columbia, Canada(5).
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.
