Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No abiotic degradation of the test item was observed. 1,3-Dihydro-4(or 5)-methyl-2H-benzimidazole-2-thione is found to be stable at 50°C at all three pH-values. Therefore it can be assumed that the test item is also stable at 25 °C and no half-life times and hydrolysis rates were calculated.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The hydrolysis behaviour of 1,3-dihydro-4(or 5)-methyl-2H-benzimidazole-2-thione were performed according to OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 1 – Physical-Chemical Properties, OECD TG 111 (2004), Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Guideline Part C – Methods for the Determination of Ecotoxicity, C.7. “Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH” (adopted, May 2008). The tests were investigated at 50 °C at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 over a period of five day. The stability was monitored by HPLC analysis using UV-detection. No abiotic degradation of the test item was observed. 1,3-Dihydro-4(or 5)-methyl-2H-benzimidazole-2-thione is found to be stable at 50°C at all three pH-values. Therefore it can be assumed that the test item is also stable at 25 °C and no half-life times and hydrolysis rates were calculated.
