Description of key information

Additional information

The substance distillation residue, butyl alcohols production, rectification is a UVCB-substance composing of several not easily identifiable substances. Only one of the constituent, 2 –ethylhexanol, can be analytically quantified (typical concentration range 20 -30 %).

Hydrolysis of the substance was determined according to OECD guideline study 111. A preliminary test was conducted as a function of pH-values 4, 7 and 9 at temperature of 50 degrees Celsius. For each pH value less than 10 % of hydrolysis was observed after five days. No further testing was necessary and the substance was determined to be hydrolytically stable.

Phototransformation in air, water or soil cannot be determined due to the complex composition of the substance.
