Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis not considered to be a likely route of environmental degradation on the basis of low water solubility and the absence of obviously hydrloysable functional groups.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A hydrolysis study was attempted (Huntingdon Life Sciences, 2011) in compliance with EC test method C7 and OECD method 111. Initial results were variable and inconclusive and this was considered to be due to low water solubility and potential volatility of the test substance. Attempts to improve analytical sensitivity and enhance the study design did not produce meaningful results.

For this reason, and on the basis that hydrolysis is not considered to be a significant route of environmental degradation due to the low water solubility of the test material (refer to section 4.8, Water Solubility), practical determination was not pursued. It was also noted that ETD does not contain any obviously hydrolysable functional groups.
