Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Troclosene sodium rapidly hydrolyses in water (t1/2 < 1 second).CYA does not undergo hydrolysis in the dark at 25°C at pH ranges from 5 through 9 over a period of 30 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Troclosene sodium (NaDCC) rapidly hydrolyses in water. This is supported by a study cited in the literature (Matte 1990). The hydrolysis rate constant for monochloroisocyanuric acid was determined. The second and third chlorines on TCCA and the second chlorine on NaDCC will hydrolyse even faster since they are less strongly bound. TCCA and NaDCC hydrolyse rapidly in water, forming a range of compounds: hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ions, Cl3CY, HCl2CY, Cl2CY–, H2ClCY, HClCY–, ClCY–2, H3CY (cyanuric acid), H2CY–, HCY–2, CY–3(C3N3O3–3). Hydrolysis is an equilibrium reaction. The extent of hydrolysis, and the concentration of each of the above compounds, depends on the temperature, the pH and the initial concentration.
As the free available chlorine is reduced by reaction with various impurities in the water it is converted into chloride ions and additional free chlorine is released from the chlorinated isocyanurates in solution. Once all the available chlorine has been reduced, the stable reaction products are CYA or its salts and chloride salts. Therefore CYA or its sodium salt is the substance of interest for the environmental fate studies. A hydrolysis study is available for CYA (Hu 1981) which is considered to be the key study.
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.
