Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 a hydrolysis study conducted according OECD Guideline 111, NPEO is considered to be hydrolytically stable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life for hydrolysis:
- 1 yr
Additional information
Hydrolysis as a function of pH was determined for NPEO according to OECD Guideline 111. The study was conducted with test substance concentrations of 1.5 mg/L in buffer solutions at pH 4, 7 and 9 and a temperature of 50°C (preliminary test). Samples were taken at test start (0 h) and end (120 h) and analysed via HPLC on a reversed phase column with FLD using an external standard. Buffer solutions were analysed at test start and end and indicated no interference with the test substance. Degradation was calculated as the percentage loss of the test substance over the time. In the preliminary test, the substance was found to be stable at pH 4, 7 and 9, respectively. No further evaluation was deemed necessary as less than 10% of the applied substance was transformed after 120 h (5 days) at each of the three pH values. Reaction rate constants and half-lives could not be calculated because the substance underwent no significant hydrolysis. A half-life of > 1 year can be assumed for ambient temperature conditions (Lange J, 2010).
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.
