Description of key information

After evaporation or exposure to the air, bis(2-ethylhexyl)adipate will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
15.19 h
Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
0 cm³ molecule-1 s-1

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (CAS 103-23-1) in air is available. QSAR calculations using AOPWIN v1.92 indicate, that DEHA and relevant volatile metabolites (2-ethylhexanal, 2-ethylhexanol) are susceptile to indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half time for the reaction with OH-radicals is calculated to be 15.19 h (DEHA), 11.33h (2-ethylhexanal) and 29.1h (2-ethylhexanol), respectively (24h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm3). However, photodegradation is not considered to be an important environmental fate process since the substance is not expected to evaporate into the atmosphere due to the low vapor pressure of < 0.0001 Pa at 20 °C and the metabolites are assumed to be rapidly oxidized to the respective acid.
