Description of key information

Using the AOPWIN QSAR model, the photochemical degradation rate of  SIBX in the atmosphere is 16.0392 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec, with a resultant predicted half live of 8.002 Hrs (0.667 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3).
If released to air, a vapor pressure of 1.26E-009 mm Hg  at 25 deg C (1.26E-009 mm Hg  is equivalent to 1.68E-007 Pa ) indicates SIBX will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase  SIBX will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 0.667 days, calculated from its rate constant of 16.0392 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec at 25 deg. 
Xanthates do not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore Sodium isobutyl xanthate is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. 
 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:

Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
