10.2 Chemical stabilitySENSITIVE TO LIGHT AND HEAT
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsSLIGHT, WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAME; CAN REACT WITH OXIDIZING MATERIALS.METHYL SALICYLATE 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 chemical is incompatible with oxidizers. It is also incompatible with strong bases. It may react with iron salts.

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
Methyl salicylate in a five day BOD test exhibited a value of 55-57% of the theoretical BOD(1,2). Another 5-day BOD determination yielded 65% of the theoretical BOD(3). Methyl salicylate was completely degraded by a microbial mixture when incubated for 7 days at 30°C(4). Significant biodegradation of methyl salicylate in the environment would be expected from this result; however no data concerning biodegradation in natural waters or soil could be located.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialThe log octanol/water partition coefficient for methyl salicylate is 2.55(1). The BCF estimated from this log Kow using a regression equation is 4 which indicates that the ester will not bioconcentrate in fish(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc for methyl salicylate estimated from molecular structure is 128(1) and is 33(3,SRC) estimated from its water solubility, 7400 mg/L(2), using a regression equation. According to a suggested classification scheme(4), these low Koc values suggest that methyl salicylate would be highly or very highly mobile in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe 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 packagingContainers 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.
