Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The test material was dissolved in aqueous solutions buffered at pH 4, 7 and 9 and incubated at 50 ± 1.2°C for maximum of 5 days.

In the incubated samples at pH 4 and 7 a significant decline of the test item concentration was observed. After 5 days of incubation more than 90% of the initial concentrations could be observed.

A main test was to be perfomed at pH 4 and pH 7.

In case of samples incubated at pH 9 the test item degraded rapidly to 24.14% directly after application. After 2.4 hours 6.01% of the initial concentration was found in the samples.

As the test item was very unstable at alkaline conditions (confirmed by the accuracy values of 22% and 36%) Hydrolysis at pH 9 was not feasible. No main test was performed at pH 9.

Samples at pH 4 were incubated at 20°C, 30°C and 50°C for 17 d, 6d and 48 hours.In the incubated samples a significant decline of the test item concentration was observed. At the end of incubation <10% of the initial concentration could be found. Under environmental relevant conditions (20°C) <10% of the initial amount were detected after 17 days of incubation.

Samples at pH 7 were incubated at 20°C, 30°C and 50°C for 14 d, 7d and 48 hours.In the incubated samples a significant decline of the test item concentration was observed. At the end of incubation <10% of the initial concentration could be found. Under environmental relevant conditions (20°C) <10% of the initial amount were detected after 14 days of incubation.

For reaction at pH 4 and pH 7 the Arrhenius relationship was calculated based on data generated at 20, 30 and 50 °C. Logarithm of the rate constants were plotted against the reciprocal of the absolute temperature.
Following relation was found:

pH 4: ln k = - 8102 * 1/T + 23

pH 7: ln k = - 9356 * 1/T + 27

At pH 4 and pH 7, the test item is degraded by hydrolysis. The half-life of reaction at 20°C was determined to be 106 hours at pH 4 and 82 hours at pH 7.At pH 9 the test item supposed to be hydrolytically unstable and degraded immediately.
