Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

After evaporation or exposure to the air, undecane and tridecane will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation of Hydrocarbons, C11-C13 (odd numbered), n-alkanes, <2% aromatics in air are available. QSAR calculations for the main components n-undecane and n-tridecane using AOPWIN v1.92 indicate, that both components are susceptible to indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half time for the reaction with OH-radicals is calculated to be in the range of 25 to 30h (24h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm3).
