Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The determinations were done according to OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals 111.

Calculation of values for T = 20 °C/25 °C

Assuming first order reactions, hydrolysis rates and half-lives for other temperatures can be calculated at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 according to the Arrhenius equation.

By plotting the natural logarithm of the rate constants against the reciprocal of the temperature (K), the rate constants and half-lives at 20 °C and 25 °C were obtained by extrapolation.

Half-lives at 20 °C and 25 °C, calculated from the measured values:

pH        value T       emperature t½ [h]

pH 4       20 °C       117.9

pH 4       25 °C       77.1

pH 7       20 °C       183.2

pH 7       25 °C       142.2

pH 9       20 °C       187.9

pH 9       25 °C       157.9

The content of the hydrolsis product 1,2-dodecanediol in the combined extracts was determined to be: 4.8 mg/L

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In Annex VIII column 2 of the Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REACH concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), it is suggested, that a study on the "Hydrolysis as function of pH" does not need to be conducted if the " substance is is readily biodegradable". Since the substance is readily biodegradable (with failing the 10d window), no test for hydrolysis is performed.
