Description of key information

The test substance partly dissociates in the presence of water. Due to the structural properties, hydrolysis of the remaining molecule part is not expected.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test substance is a salt whose sodium and chlorine atoms dissociate in presence of water to Na+ and Cl- from the remaining molecule under environmentally relevant conditions (pH 5 to 9). According to Kollig et al. (1993), Boethling & Mackay (2000) and Harris (1990) the other part of the molecule does not contain any functional groups sensitive to hydrolysis. Therefore, a study on the hydrolysis behavior of the test substance is not considered necessary.
