Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

At neutral pH (pH 7) hydrolysis of the reference substance with a half-life of 41.9 days was observed following a pseudo first order kinetics over time.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
41.9 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The assessment of hydrolytic stability of the test compound was carried out using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method C7 Abiotic Degradation, Hydrolysis as a Function of pH of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 111 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

Tier 2 tests at pH 4 and pH 7 demonstrated that degradation/losses of test item do not follow typical temperature dependency. Thus the Arrhenius relationship could not be applied to extrapolate the half-lives to 25 °C and additional testing was performed at pH 4 and pH 7 at 25 °C over an extended period of 28 days).

The results are as follows:

pH 4 Estimated half-life at 25 °C is 82.4 days

pH 7 Estimated half-life at 25 °C is 41.9 days

pH 9 Estimated half-life at 25 °C is 407 days
