Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Photodegradation was estimated using version 1.92 of the Atmospheric Oxidation Program for Microsoft Windows (AOPWIN) that estimates the rate constant for the atmospheric, gas-phase reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and organic chemicals. The half-life (22.19 hours) indicates that after evaporation or exposure to the atmosphere, the substance will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes.

Based on a hydrolysis study in buffered solutions, hydrolysis will only contribute to degradation in alkaline waters at pH 8 and above (Dow Chemical Company, 1997). Hydrolysis is not the predominant degradation process since the test substance is readily biodegradable. Therefore, hydrolysis will not contribute significantly to the degradation of HPA under environmental conditions.
