Handling considerations

Precautions for safe handling:
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. If during normal use the material presents a respiratory hazard, use only with adequate ventilation or wear appropriate respirator. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND BEHAVIOUR

Artificial pollution sources

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate's production and use as a metal extraction agent, a textile lubricant and antistatic agent, an extreme pressure additive, an intermediate for wetting agents and detergent, and a feedstock for chemical synthesis may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. [2]

General terrestrial fate

If released to soil, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate is expected to have no mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 1.7X10+4. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.1X10-8 atm-cu m/mole. The pKa of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate has been estimated as 1.47, indicating that this compound will primarily exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon than their neutral counterparts. The sorption of organophosphorus compounds in soil depends on both organic matter and clay content of soil and the sorption increases as the pH of soil decreases. In a study on the sorption of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate on kaolinite and amectite, the acidic phosphoric group reacted rapidly and almost irreversibly with the surface cations of the clay mineral structure. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. [2]

General aquatic fate

If released into water, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0-17% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test and therefore this compound is not expected to biodegrade rapidly in the environment. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. Measured BCF values of 1-2.4 and 2.7-6.0 suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound contains functional groups (esters) that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. The hydrolysis half-life of the analog dimethyl phosphoric acid in neutral solution at 100 °C was found to be 2.4 days. Increasing the carbon chain substituent on phosphoric acid (as in the case of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate) may not increase the rate of hydrolysis. [2]

General atmospheric fate

If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 4.7X10-8 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate will exist solely in the particulate phase in the atmosphere. Particulate-phase bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate will be removed from the atmosphere by wet or dry deposition. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. [2]

General persistence and degradability

 

Abiotic degradation and metabolites

 

Biodegradation and metabolites

Readily biodegradable (100%) [1]

To test for its biodegradability potential, bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate was incubated for 28 days in continuously stirred 250 ml closed flask in the dark with an inoculum originally collected from a local, predominantly municipal wastewater treatment plant. The applied method was the OECD Guideline 301 F. In this assay, biodegradation was estimated by biological oxygen demand (BOD) over time. BOD was measured daily by a manometer. The incubation temperature was 20 +/-1°C. The concentration of innoculum was 30 mg /L and the one of the substance was 100 mg/L. Degradation was calculated by substracting the amount BOD in the negative (innoculum only) control from that in the substance or positive control at any given time point and divided by the chemical oxygen demand (COD) or thereotical oxygen demand (ThOD). The 28-day degradation was 75% forbis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate and 82% for the positive control (with reference substance).

A second test on ready biodegradability was conducted according to the national Japanese standard method comparable to the OECD Guideline 301 C (Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I)). After 14 days, the substance showed 0-17% degradation realting to BOD, and 0% degradation relating to the test substance concentration.

As recommended in Guidance R.7b (ECHA, 2012), in cases of conflicting test results, differences in stringency and the origin of the inoculum in order to check whether or not differences in the adaptation of the inoculum may be the reason are considered. The reported data are carefully checked and no differences in test design were found in both tests. The positive result in the well documented study for ready biodegradability is considered as indicative of rapid and ultimate degradation and the positive test result supersede the negative test result.[3]

Bioconcentration

BCF aquatic/sediment: 6 (dimensionless) [1] Therefore, bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. [2]

Volatilization

Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. [2]

Photolysis

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. [2]

Hydrolysis

Hydrolysis is expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound contains functional groups (esters) that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. The hydrolysis half-life of the analog dimethyl phosphoric acid in neutral solution at 100 °C was found to be 2.4 days. Increasing the carbon chain substituent on phosphoric acid (as in the case of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate) may not increase the rate of hydrolysis. [2]

Soil adsorption and mobility

 It is expected to have no mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 1.7X10+4 .  This compound will primarily exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon than their neutral counterparts. The sorption of organophosphorus compounds in soil depends on both organic matter and clay content of soil and the sorption increases as the pH of soil decreases. [2]
