Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Atmospheric photooxidation half-lives of 1,3-butadiene were predicted to be 1.93 h (hydroxyl radicals), 34.0 h (ozone), and 76.8 h (NO3 radicals). 1,3 -butadiene is not predicted to be persistent in air and is predicted to be mainly degraded by reaction with OH radicals. The reaction rates with ozone and NO3 are less rapid, and therefore less important than the reaction rate with hydroxyl radicals during daylight hours. However, at night, when the concentration of hydroxyl radicals falls to negligible levels, the degradation processes that involve ozone and NO3 will predominate. Overall, 1,3 -Butadiene is expected to be rapidly degraded in the atmosphere through photooxidative reaction mechanisms.
