Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis is not considered to be a relevant abiotic degradation process.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the abiotic hydrolysis of ethylene diacetate (CAS 111-55-7) are available. However, in accordance with Annex VIII, column 2, 9.2.2.1. of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, testing is not required since the substance is readily biodegradable. In addition, a supporting QSAR calculation (HYDROWIN v2.00) indicates, that hydrolysis is a negligible pathway for the environmental fate of ethylene diacetate in the environment (DT50: 152.39 d (pH 7) and 15.24 d (pH 8)).
