Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A base-catalyzed second-order hydrolysis rate constant of 4.3X10E-2 L/mol-sec (SRC, n.d.) was estimated using a structure estimation method (Mill et al., 1987); this corresponds to half-lives of 5.1 years and 190 days at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively (Mill et al., 1987; SRC, n.d.) suggesting that hydrolysis is not expected to be an important process (SRC, n.d.).
