Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

pH 1.2, 37°C, 144 hours: about 15% degradation
pH 4, 37°C: no significant degradation observed
pH 7, 20°C: DT50 = 96.3 hours
pH 7, 37°C: DT50 = 11.2 hours
pH 9, 25°C: DT50 = 50 hours

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

The results of the hydrolysis study on dibutyl maleinate indicate an increase of hydrolysis with increasing pH. Whereas under acidic conditions only a low degradation of dibutyl maleinate was observed, the degree of degradation increased with increasing pH value. Under the test conditions which approximately correspond to that of the environment, i.e. a pH value of 7 and a water temperature of 20°C, a DT50 of about 96.3 hours was observed.
