Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Phototransformation:
After evaporation or exposure to the air, the substance and its hydrolysis product CAS 147 -57 -5 will be slowly degraded by photochemical processes.
This estimation refers to dry air. In mist, rain, droplets and aerosols, hydrolysis will be the major fate process of the acid chloride due to the short half-life in aqueous solution. Therefore this estimate may be of low relevance for 2 -ethylhexanoyl chloride.
Hydrolysis:
In contact with water 2 -ethylhexanoyl chloride will hydrolyse rapidly.
Due to rapid hydrolysis, 2 -ethylhexanoyl chloride will not be present in the environment for a significant time. The substance degrades spontaneously in contact with aqueous media. Therefore, the fate in the environment is mainly based on the hydrolysis product 2 -ethylhexanoic acid.
Biodegradation
2-Ethylhexanoic acid is readily biodegradable.
Bioaccumulation
For the hydrolysis product 2 -ethylhexanoic acid, significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
Adsorption
Adsorption of the hydrolysis product 2 -ethyhexanoic acid to solid soil phase is not expected.
Henry Law Constant
The hydrolysis product 2 -ethylhexanoic acid will not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface.
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.
