Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

o-dichlorbenzene is stable in aqueous solution (15 mg/l) for
2 months at 4 degree C.
Hydrolysis of o-dichlorobenzene under conditions obtaining
in the environment is improbable.

Conclusions:
o-dichlorbenzene is stable in aqueous solution (15 mg/l) for 2 months at 4 degree C. Hydrolysis of o-dichlorobenzene under conditions obtaining in the environment is improbable.
Executive summary:

o-dichlorbenzene is stable in aqueous solution (15 mg/l) for 2 months at 4 degree C.
Hydrolysis of o-dichlorobenzene under conditions obtaining in the environment is improbable.

Description of key information

In view of the drastic conditions (high alkalinity and temperatures) required to exchange chlorine for a hydroxyl group, hydrolysis of o-dichlorobenzene under conditions obtaining in the environment is improbable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
