Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Phototransformation in air: for the C16 Tetrabutane isomers, the calculated half-life in the atmosphere is less than 11 hours for the reaction with naturally occuring OH radicals.
Hydrolysis is not expected for Tetrabutane.
Biodegradation was tested in 1993 and 2018 (OECD310), results are in discussion with the evaluating MSCA. Under the tested conditions, readily biodegradation could not be demonstrated, but showed a good potential for biodegradation.
According to distribution model calculations the atmospheric oxidation is the relevant degradation pathway for C16 -Tetrabutane and persistence time for the worst case emission scenario (100% to water) is below the persistence criterium of 40 days for water.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
