Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

25 °C

Additional information

The substance does not undergo hydrolysis at 50°C at pH 4 and 7 but was subject to slight hydrolysis at pH 9 in the preliminary test. In the advanced test, the degradation of the test item at pH 9 was < 10 % for 20 °C and > 10 % for 30 and 50 °C (29 % and 93 %, respectively). With regard to the guideline on hydrolysis the results indicated a half life of > 1 year for the SymWhite 377 at pH 4 and pH 7 (25 °C). At pH 9 a half life between 4609 hours at 20°C and 176.6 hours at 50°C was determined and calculated using Arrhenius equation, respectively.

Data on hydrolysis should only be considered for classification purposes if the longest half life determined within the pH range 4 -9 is shorter than 16 days. This is not the case for SymWhite 377 at ambient temperature between 20 -25°C. Furthermore, hydrolysis data were not considered for C&L since it cannot be satisfactorily demonstrated that the hydrolysis products formed do not fulfil the criteria for C&L for the aquatic environment (regulation (EC) 1272/2008).
