Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In contact with water n-Butyl acrylate will hydrolyse slowly.
Half-life at pH 7 and 25 °C: 1100 d
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a hydrolysis study conducted by Ricerca Inc. (BAMM 1990), the half-life of 14C-butyl acrylate in water at pH 11 was determined to be approximately 243 minutes. There was less than 2 % hydrolysis of 14C-butyl acrylate at pH 3 and pH 7 during the 28 day period. Approximate hydrolysis half-life values for pH 3 and pH 7, calculated using initial and final 14C-butyl acrylate concentrations, were 2800 days at pH 3 and 1100 days at pH 7.
Therefore, the substance will hydrolyse slowly in contact with water under environmental conditions. Hydrolysis will not contribute significantly to the degradation of n-butyl acrylate under environmental conditions.
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.
