Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Preliminary study:
observed half-lifes: [pH 4] 4.1 h, [pH 7] 3.2 h, [pH 9] 0.6 h
Transformation products:
yes
No.:

No.:
#2
No.:
#3
Details on hydrolysis and appearance of transformation product(s):
It was found that additional peaks at pH 9 come up from test item + H2O (#1) and from test item + 2 H2O (#2), respectively. Under acidic conditions, the reaction product test item - N2 (#3) has been identified via LC-MS measurement. Therefore, a radical reaction mechanism is supposed. At pH 7, the reaction products test item + H2O and test item - N2 were both identified.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Depending on the pH of the environment a radical reaction mechanism (pH 4 and 7) or a hydrolytical mechanism (pH 9) can be observed.
Executive summary:

The degradation/hydrolysis reaction measured by pH 4, pH 7, and pH 9 can be assumed to be first or pseudo-first order. Due to this the half-lives for 20 °C and 25 °C can be calculated.

It is pointed out that the degradation reaction at pH 4 and partially at pH 7 does not come from hydrolysis, but is supposed to be a radical reaction mechanism.

Description of key information

For the chemical safety assessment, the half-life at pH 7 and 20 °C is selected as key value.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
413.8 h
at the temperature of:
20 °C
