Additional information
The abiotic degradation of ethyl 3,5 -dichloro-4 -hexadecyloxybenzoate (AF-366) via hydrolysis was investigated by Rhemrev-Boom (1989) and Rhemrev-Boom and Houtzager (1992). The first study was a preliminary test conducted according to OECD 111 under GLP conditions. The test substance was incubated for 5 days at 50 °C in three different buffered solutions, at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9. The results of the test showed that > 10% hydrolysis took place in all three solutions (30% at pH 4, 39% at pH 7 and 49% at pH 9) and therefore, further testing was needed in order to determine the precise abiotic degradation of the substance.
The second (main) test was performed according to the Council Directive 67/548/EEC method “Hydrolysis as a function of pH”. A preliminary study was carried out for 44 hours, after which it was deemed necessary to continue with the full test. The test substance was incubated at pH 4, 7 and 9 at two different temperatures (25 °C and 50 °C). The entire test was conducted under sterile conditions and the temperature controlled within 0.5 °C of the nominal temperatures. Under environmentally relevant conditions (25 °C) the half-lives of the substance were 26 hours, 219 hours and 1147 hours at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9, respectively.
These values indicate that ethyl 3,5 -dichloro-4 -hexadecyloxycarbonyloxybenzoate (AF-366)
can be expected to be rapidly degraded abiotically in water at pH 4 and pH 7, but is considered to be hydrolytically stable at pH 9.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
