Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in air

 

If released to air, a vapor pressure of 1.73 mm Hg  at 25 deg C (1.71 mm Hg is equivalent to vapour pressure of 231 Pa) indicates significant amounts of Stoddard solvent are unlikely to be present in the atmosphere for photodegradation and therefore Stoddard solvent is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight.

 Stoddard solvent has low vapor pressure (231 Pa ) indicating significant amounts of Stoddard solvent are unlikely to be present in the atmosphere for photodegradation. The estimated half-life is about 11.552 Hrs (OH rate = 1.1105 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec) with the AOPWIN (US EPA, 2011).

 

Using the AOPWIN QSAR model, the photochemical degradation rate of Stoddard solvent in the atmosphere is 11.1105 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec, with a resultant predicted half live of   11.552 Hrs (0.963 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3)

 

OVERALL OH Rate Constant = 11.1105 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec

HALF-LIFE =    0.963 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3)

HALF-LIFE =   11.552 Hrs

 

 

 

Phototransformation in water

It is not applicable for a compound wich is insoluble or slightly soluble

 Phototransformation in soil

If released to soil, Stoddard solvent is expected to have low mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 1451 . Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. Therefore testing for Phototransformation in soils does not need to be performed.

 

Hydrolysis

 

Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a water molecule or hydroxide ion substitutes for another atom or group of atoms present in a chemical resulting in a structural change of that chemical. Potentially hydrolyzable groups include alkyl halides, amides, carbamates, carboxylic acid esters and lactones, epoxides, phosphate esters, and sulfonic acid esters (Neely, 1985). The lack of a suitable leaving group renders compounds resistant to hydrolysis.

The chemical constituents that comprise the Stoddard solvent consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen and do not contain hydrolyzable groups. As such, they have a very low potential to hydrolyze. Therefore, this degradative process will not contribute to their removal from the environment.
