Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Several mechanisms for degradation of chemicals bound to particles in air  or in 

gas phase are known. Following the physical and chemical properties and the 

structure of Piperonyl butoxide it is assumed that degradation and persistence of

the active substance mainly depends on reaction with hydroxyl radicals. The 

photochemical degradation of Piperonyl butoxide in air was estimated using the 

model AOPWIN (version 1.80). The constants for reaction on different adsorption 

systems and mechanisms of binding to hydroxyl radicals were estimated to be 

51.273x 10-12 cm³/molec. sec for  hydrogen abstraction and 56.3119 x 10-12 cm³/molec. 

sec for addition to aromatic rings.Half-life in the troposphere was calculated to

 be 3.579  hours for overall OH rate constant.

Rate constant (for indirect photolysis): = 0.0000000001075849 cm³/(molecule*sec)
Degradation in % (for indirect photolysis): = 50  after 3.6 hour(s)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Rate constant (for indirect photolysis): = 0.0000000001075849 cm³/(molecule*sec) Degradation in % (for indirect photolysis): = 50  after 3.6 hour(s)
