Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In contact with water at neutral pH no hydrolysis of hydroxypropyl acrylate will be observed. In alkaline water, the substance will hydrolyse rapidly.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The hydrolysis rate of hydroxypropyl acrylate is pH dependent with little hydrolysis at acid and neutral pH and rapid hydrolysis under alkaline conditions. The hydrolysis half-lives determined at pH 3, 7, and 11 were > 490 days, >230 days, and 0.056 days, respectively (Dow Chemical Company, 1997). Based on the hydrolysis rate constant determined for HPA, half-lives of 35 to 40 days would be expected at pH 8.
Hydrolysis is not the predominant degradation process since the test substance is readily biodegradable. Therefore, hydrolysis will not contribute significantly to the degradation of HPA under environmental conditions.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
