Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- hydrolysis
- Type of information:
- other: Well documented report, based on scientific literature.
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Well documented report, based on scientific literature. No guideline is reported.

- no data
- Remarks on result:
- other: no data
- Remarks on result:
- other: no data
- Details on results:
- A test on the hydrolysis potential of DBP indicated that at pH 4.0 and 7.0 DBP was found to be stable, i.e. less than 10% hydrolysis after 5 days. At pH 9.0 and a temperature of 50°C a half-life time of 65.8 hours was reported. These results are in line with the RIVM-conclusion (RIVM,1991) that the contribution of hydrolysis to the overall environmental degradation of phthalate esters, including DBP, is expected to be low.
- Conclusions:
- A test on the hydrolysis potential of DBP indicated that at various pH values DBP was found to be stable resp. that the contribution of hydrolysis to the overall environmental degradation of phthalate esters, including DBP, is expected to be low.

Description of key information
A test on the hydrolysis potential of DBP indicated that at various pH values DBP was found to be stable resp. that the contribution of hydrolysis to the overall environmental degradation of phthalate esters, including DBP, is expected to be low. Only at a higher pH value and temperature the hydrolysis of DBP turns turns to a higher level.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life for hydrolysis:
- 65.8 h
- at the temperature of:
- 50 °C
Additional information
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.
