Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

pH value
pH value:
10.5 - 11.3
Temp.:
20 °C
Concentration:
45 - 50 other: % w/w

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to the estimation through pH=1/2pKw+1/2pKa+1/2logc, where

pKw: dissociation constant of water 13.92 at 25°C

pKa: the dissociation contant of MBT as weak acid 7.03 at 20°C

c: concentration (mol/l) of the aqueous solution

The aqueous solution (30%-50%) of SMBT should have a pH of 10.5 -11 at ambient temperature. This matchs the reported value from manufacture.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Aqueous solution of SMBT, with a w/w percentage of 30 -50%, should have a pH of 10.5 -11 at ambient temperature as estimated by expert and proved by manufacture data.
