Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Degradation: 50% after 10.2 hours (0.85 days)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Alcohols, C7 -9 -iso, C8 -rich has the potential to degrade in the atmosphere from hydroxyl radical attack and photodegradation can be a predominant daylight atmospheric degradation process for this substance. The photodegradation half-life of this substance as mediated by OH-attack is estimated as 0.85days or 10.2 hours based on a 12-hour sunlight day. The half-life is calculated for a 12 -hr day because it normalizes degradation to standard day-light period during which hydroxyl radicals needed for degradation are generated.
