Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Photodegradation

The degradation of n-butyl acetate in air by reaction with OH-radicals was experimentally determined (Kwok & Atkinson, 1994; cited in AOP v1.92). The overall OH rate constant was determined to be 4.9 E-12 cm³/molecule*sec. The half-life was calculated to be 3.3 days (24 -h d; 0.5 E+06 OH/cm³).

 

Hydrolysis

n-Butyl acetate will hydrolyze slowly. Using HYDROWIN (v2.00), the hydrolytic half-life was estimated to be 78 d at pH 8 and 2 years at pH 7 (ECT, 2009).
