Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No guideline studies are available for the hydrolysis reaction of lead tetraacetate. One published reaction kinetics monitored by optical absorption spectroscopy indicates a completion after 8 minutes. Other studies indicate a much faster reaction (within seconds), but no reaction monitoring data have been published. A conservative half life time of < 8 minutes can be concluded.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life for hydrolysis:
- 8 min
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
An evaluation of hydrolysis reactions as published between 1851 and 1969 confirms the rapid hydrolysis of lead tetraacetate in contact with water. The reaction of lead acetate with ppm concentrations of water in different solvents at room temperature was monitored with optical absorption spectroscopy. After 8 minutes the reaction was complete as indicated by a plateau in the absorption curve. The reaction curve is not given, but a conservative half life time of 8 minutes is concluded.
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.
