hydrolysis
Type of information:

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
22 JUNE 2007 to 16 AUGUST 2007
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
This study follows international guidelines and comply with GLP. The study design is adapted to the test substance yet no certificate of analysis was provided therefore doubts remain whether the test substance is the reference substance of the current dossier. Thus the results are deemed reliable with this last restriction.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes

no
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
- Sampling intervals for the parent/transformation products: 0h, 48h, 120h
- Sampling method: in duplicate
- Sampling methods for the volatile compounds, if any: No headspace was left in the vessel to stop volatilisation of the test material
- Sampling intervals/times for pH measurements: 0h, 48h, 120h
- Sampling intervals/times for sterility check: no data
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: shielded from light
- Other observation, if any (e.g.: precipitation, color change etc.): no data
Buffers:
pH=4 - Potassium hydrogen phtalate at 0.005M

pH=7 - Disodium hydrogen orthophosphate (anhydrous) at 0.003M - Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (anhydrous) at 0.002M - sodium chloride at 0.002M

Conclusions:
The half-life of the test substance at 25°C is estimated to be over 1 year.
Executive summary:

The hydrolysis as a function of pH was determined for the test substance following a GLP study according to OECD 111 guidelines. Solutions of 0.5 g/L of test substance in buffers at pH = 4, 7, and 9 were maintained at 50°C for 5 days and sampled at 0h, 48h, and 120h by gas chromatography.

At all tested pH, less than 10% of hydrolysis were measured, thus half-life of the test substance at 25°C was estimated to be over one year.

Description of key information

The half life of the substance is over 1 year at pH 4, 7 and 9.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
