Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Magnesium methanolate hydrolyse very fast into methanol and magnesium hydroxide. The determination of the adsorption/desorption coefficient is technically not feasible with magnesium methanolate and the endpoint is waived.
The half life of magnesium methanolate was determined to be T1/2 < 1 min (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH). In all experiments the hydrolysis of magnesium methanolate in buffer solutions (pH4, pH7, pH9) takes place immediately. Hydrolysis rates of >= 90% within 1 minute reaction time are observed.
Hydrolysis product methanol:
Adsorption on soil is not to be expected due to the high water solubility (> 1000g/l) of the hydrolysis product methanol as well as its low octanol-water partition coefficient (-0.77). Lokke (1984) studied the adsorption of methanol onto three different soil types at 6 deg C. Adsorption coefficients of between 0.13 and 0.61 were measured for all soil types and at all concentrations. A Koc of 1 was calculated by BASF (2004). These coefficients indicate that methanol has a low adsorptive capacity on soils.
Hydrolysis product magnesium hydroxide:
Magnesium hydroxide has a low potential to adsorb to soil based on the derived Kd value of 1.65.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 0.13
Additional information
The Koc 0.13 of the hydrolysis product methanol is used for the chemical safety report
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.
