The results obtained in the preliminary test at pH 7.0, showed no significant degradation of FAT 40850/A TE at 50 °C. According to the EEC Directive 92/69, Section C.7, it can be concluded, that the estimated half-life time is higher than one year under representative environmental conditions (25 °C). Therefore, FAT 40850/A TE can be considered to be hydrolytically stable at pH 7.0 and no further testing was necessary at this pH-value.

pH 7.0
The results obtained in the preliminary test at pH 7.0, showed no significant degradation of FAT 40850/A TE at 50 °C. According to the EEC Directive 92/69, Section C.7, it can be concluded, that the estimated half-life time is higher than one year under representative environmental conditions (25 °C). Therefore, FAT 40850/A TE can be considered to be hydrolytically stable at pH 7.0 and no further testing was necessary at this pH-value.

pH 4.0 and 9.0
The results of the preliminary test showed, that the main compound of FAT 40850/A TE forming the main test item peak is not stable at pH 4.0 and pH 9.0. Therefore the test at 50 °C was prolonged in the range of 10% to 90% degradation.

The obtained data for FAT 40850/A TE at pH 4.0 and 50.0 °C (main test) are plotted at ln ct versus t. The linear plots prove that the hydrolysis reaction is of pseudo first order in the range from 10% to 90% hydrolysis at pH 4.0.

The obtained data for FAT 40850/A TE at pH 9.0 and 50.0 °C (main test) are plotted at ln ct versus t. The linear plots prove that the hydrolysis reaction is of pseudo first order in the range from 10% to 90% hydrolysis at pH 9.0

The reaction rate constant k for pH 4.0 and pH 9.0 was calculated by regression analysis.

The half-life time of the hydrolysis reaction at pH 4.0 and 50 °C was calculated to be (Main Peak): 131 hours (5.5 days)

The half-life time of the hydrolysis reaction at pH 9.0 and 50 °C was calculated to be (Main Peak): 94 hours (3.9 days)

Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrolysis behaviour of FAT 40850/A TE in aqueous buffered solutions adjusted to pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0. The study followed the protocol given in Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, 30 May 2008, Part C, Methods for the determination of Ecotoxicity, C.7 “Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH” and OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 111, “Hydrolysis as a Function of pH"; adopted April 13, 2004 (only at pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0).

The hydrolysis of the test item was estimated at 50.0 °C ± 0.1 °C at each of pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0 in a preliminary test. FAT 40850/A TE was found to be stable at pH 7.0 and 50 °C. Therefore no further testing was performed at this pH value. FAT 40850/A TE showed several peaks in the chromatogram. The main peak, which was used for quantification was not stable at pH 4.0 and pH 9.0, therefore further testing was performed at elevated temperatures in order to calculate the rate constant (k25) and the half-life time of the hydrolysis at pH 4.0 and pH 9.0 at 25 °C.

Additional information

Data on hydrolysis study was not available for the target substance Reactive Red 024:1. To fill the data gaps, read across approach is adapted using similar substance Reactive Red 286 (FAT 40850). Read-across is claimed basis of structural relationship of the target and the source chemicals. Read across substance have been investigatedto determine the hydrolysis behaviour of FAT 40850/A TE in aqueous buffered solutions adjusted to pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0. The study followed the protocol given in Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, 30 May 2008, Part C, Methods for the determination of Ecotoxicity, C.7 “Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH” and OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 111, “Hydrolysis as a Function of pH"; adopted April 13, 2004 (only at pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0).

The hydrolysis of the test item was estimated at 50.0 °C ± 0.1 °C at each of pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0 in a preliminary test. FAT 40850/A TE was found to be stable at pH 7.0 and 50 °C. Therefore no further testing was performed at this pH value. FAT 40850/A TE showed several peaks in the chromatogram. The main peak, which was used for quantification was not stable at pH 4.0 and pH 9.0, therefore further testing was performed at elevated temperatures in order to calculate the rate constant (k25) and the half-life time of the hydrolysis at pH 4.0 and pH 9.0 at 25 °C.

The results are summarised below (the values typed in italics were calculated using the Arrhenius equation):
