Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Based on the results obtained from other acetals, it can be stated that butylal and other investigated acetals half-life at pH4, 7 and 9 and 25°C > 1 year.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life for hydrolysis:
- 1 yr
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
Propylal (CAS 505-84-0), 2-ethylhexylal (CAS 22174-70-5), 1,3-dioxolane (CAS 646-06-0) and 2,5,7,10-tetraoxaundecane (CAS 4431-83-8) were identified as stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 50°C after 5 days according to OECD 111 (GLP).
Methylal (CAS 109-87-5) was identified as:
- Stable at pH 2.5 to 9.0 at 37°C for 24h and at pH 4.02 to 8.98 at 25°C for 1 year.
- Stable at pH 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 for 7 months (formaldehyde conc. ≤1.1 ppm). Unstable at pH 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 with evolution of formaldehyde conc from 2.90 to 3142 ppm at pH 3.5, from 0.84 to 423ppm at pH 4.0 and from 0.28to 23 ppm at pH 4.5 after 7 months. Based on formaldehyde detection
- Stable at pH 2, 4 and 11 at RT. At pH2: stable at 40°C, slight hydrolysis at 60°C and more rapid hydrolysis at 80°C. At pH 4: no hydrolysis at 40°C and only slight hydrolysis at 40°C. At pH 10:no hydrolysis at 40, 60 and 80°C. Based on ethanol detection
Based on these results obtained from other acetals, it can be stated that butylal and other investigated acetals half-life at pH4, 7 and 9 and 25°C > 1 year.
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.
