Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Remarks on result:
other: 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester(branched) is expected to be hydrolytically stable under the pH and temperature conditions of physiological and environmental relevance.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester(branched) is expected to be hydrolytically stable under the pH and temperature conditions of physiological and environmental relevance.
Executive summary:

An assessment was carried out based on an examination of the chemical functionality present within the substance. Whilst the ester containing constituents of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester(branched) can, in theory, undergo hydrolysis under extremes of pH, the reaction is likely to be extremely slow at temperatures of physiological and/or environmental relevance. The presence of highly nonpolar functional groups confers low water solubility on the constituents listed above, effectively preventing the reaction of the hydrolytically susceptible moieties present. Therefore it is concluded that 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester(branched) is expected to be hydrolytically stable under the pH and temperature conditions of physiological and environmental relevance.
