Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to “ANNEX VIII- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 10 TONNES OR MORE , study for  Hydrolysis as a function of pH does not need  to be conducted if:
-the substance is ready biodegradable.
 As Alcohols, C12-14  is ready biodegradable a Hydrolysis study does not need to be conducted.
Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental 
conditions. 
This substance has no hydrolysable structural features and  would be expected to be stable in respect of hydrolysis.Alcohols have no hydrolysable groups and are therefore not susceptible to hydrolysis (Lyman, Reehl and Rosenblatt, 1990).  Oxidation would not be expected under normal environmental conditions.

Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction during which molecules of water (H2O) are split into hydrogen cations (H+, conventionally referred to as protons) and hydroxide anions (OH−) in the process of a chemical mechanism).
This substance, which contains primarily ether linkages, is not anticipated to hydrolyze readily in water at neutral pHs.
