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

A study was carried out according to EPA Guideline Subdivision N 161-1 (Hydrolysis) using the structural analog Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC). In view of the chemical and structural similarities (the relevant chemical part of both, DDAC and DDACarbonate, under the conditions of this test is the common quaternary ammonium cation Didecyldimethylammonium+), it is considered that the data are adequate for DDACarbonate.
Based on the data generated during this study, DDAC was found to be hydrolytically stable in the pH range 5-9. An accurate estimate of the half-life for the hydrolysis could not be determined since no significant degradation of the test compound was detected during the 30 day evaluation period.
