Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

In the presence of moisture, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride isomers are rapidly hydrolysed to the correspondent tetrahydrophthalic acids, of which THPAc D3 is most relevant to various environmental compartments than the submission substance.
