Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis is not considered to be a relevant degradation pathway.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Although the water solubility was determined to be less than or equal to 2 mg/L (see Fox, 2013), this value was considered to be a significant over-estimation and the actual water solubility would have been expected to be significantly lower. Therefore, it was considered that the hydrolysis test, using Method C7 Abiotic Degradation, Hydrolysis as a Function of pH of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 111 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004, was not feasible due to the very low solubility of the test item in aqueous media.

The main functional groups in the components of the test item were esters. Although esters usually readily hydrolyze, especially in basic conditions, the test item may have significantly reduced hydrolytic potential due to it being hydrophobic.
