Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Substance decomposes before boiling (OECD 103). Because the substance is hydrolytically unstable, the boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is used as a key value in CSA.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
82.3 °C

Additional information

Boiling point was determined by using differential scanning calorimetry according to the guideline OECD 103, and in accordance with GLP. The boiling point could not be determined as substance decomposed before boiling.

This substance is hydrolytically unstable (half-life < 10 minutes; OECD 111). When it comes in contact with water or moisture a complete hydrolysis will take place with no significant reaction products other than isopropyl alcohol and ethyl acetoacetate and insoluble hydrated titanium oxides. Because of rapid hydrolysis, the CSA concentrates on the most hazardous degradation product which is isopropyl alcohol. The read-across data on the boiling point of isopropyl alcohol, 82.3 deg. Celsius, released from the substance is used as a key value in ES&RC when relevant (peer-reviewed handbook value, O'Neil et al. 2006).
