9.Physical and chemical properties

10.Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

no data available

10.2 Chemical stability

Easily polymerizes on standing; polymerization process speeded up by heat, light, and peroxides. If pure, the monomer can be stored below +10°C without incurring polymerization.

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

Flammable liquid. A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. Vapours are uninhibited and may polymerize, causing blockage of vents.A flammable liquid, confirmed carcinogen. It can react vigorously with oxidizing reagents, peroxides,strong alkalis and polymerization initiators. [NTP] It reacts violently with chlorosulfonic acid [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 1515]. When an inhibited monomer was placed in a clear glass bottle exposed to sunlight, exothermic polymerization set in and caused the bottle to burst. The use of brown glass or metal containers and increase in inhibitor concentration (to 200 ppm; tenfold) was recommended [MCA Case History No. 1759]. It may polymerize when exposed to light and it is subject to slow hydrolysis. Inhibitors do not function in the absence of air. Solutions in DMSO are stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions. [NTP].

12.Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Pimephales promelas (Fathead minnow, age 32 days, length 18.7 mm, weight 0.095 g); Conditions: freshwater, flow through, 25.3°C, pH 7.5, hardness 46.9 mg/L CaCO3, alkalinity 39.7 mg/L CaCO3, dissolved oxygen 6.8 mg/L; Concentration: 2500 ug/L for 96 hr (95% confidence interval: 2310-2700 ug/L) /99% purity
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
• Toxicity to algae: Algae: Microcystis aeruginosa: inhibition of cell multiplication starts at 14 mg/L
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Ethyl acrylate readily biodegrades in screening tests using sewage seed both in fresh and salt water(1). The percent of theoretical BOD is 28 and 11%, respectively, after 5 days; after acclimation, the BOD after 5 days increased to 66% of theoretical(1). Ethyl acrylate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 52% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(2). In three separate Zahn-Wellens tests, 60, 100, and >60% total organic carbon was removed in 3 hours, 7 days, and 11 days, respectively(3). Five day BOD for ethyl acrylate were 28, 66 and 11% in nonacclimated fresh dilution water, acclimated fresh dilution water and nonacclimated salt dilution water(3). The BOD5/COD ratio for ethyl acrylate was determined to be 0.77, which is indicative of significant potential for biodegradability(4).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for ethyl acrylate(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.32(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

Koc values for ethyl acrylate have been reported as 4 in Washington clay/loam (29% sand, 42% silt, 29% clay, 3.39% organic carbon, pH 6.0), 23 in Canfield loam (45% sand, 42% silt, 13% clay, 4.58% organic carbon, pH 6.1), 40 in Ellsworth loam (35% sand, 40% silt, 25% clay, 1.42% organic carbon, pH 7.2), 85 in Tyner loamy sand (79% sand, 14% silt, 7% clay, 0.46% organic carbon, pH 5.2), and 81 in sandy loam sediment (53% sand, 28% silt, 19% clay, 1.23% organic carbon, pH 7.5)(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that ethyl acrylate is expected to have very high to high mobility in soil. Ethyl acrylate is highly soluble in water and, therefore, is not expected to partition to sediments(1).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations
