10.2 Chemical stabilityStable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsCombustible liquid.BENZYL ACETATE 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 strong oxidizing agents. It is also incompatible with acids, bases and reducing agents.
10.4 Conditions to avoidno data available
10.5 Incompatible materialsSTABILITY: This chemical may be sensitive to light. Solutions of this chemical in water, DMSO, 95% ethanol or acetone should be stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions.REACTIVITY: This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is also incompatible with acids, bases and reducing agents.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition productsWhen heated to decomposition it emits irritating fumes.
11.Toxicological information Acute toxicity- Oral: Rat (Osborne-Mendel) oral 2.49 g/kg

Germ cell mutagenicityno data available
CarcinogenicityEvaluation: No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogenicity of benzyl acetate were available. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of benzyl acetate. Overall evaluation: Benzyl acetate is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity in humans (Group 3).
Reproductive toxicityno data available
STOT-single exposureno data available

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
Benzyl acetate reached 92 to 96% of its theoretical BOD over a period of 4 weeks using an activated sludge seed and an initial chemical concentration of 100 mg/l(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 18 was calculated for benzyl acetate(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.96(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of benzyl acetate is estimated as approximately 180(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.96(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that benzyl acetate is expected to have moderate mobility 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.
