hydrolytically stable based on preliminary test
Remarks:
<10% decomposition at 5 days.

In the test at pH 4, 7 and 9, less than 10 % decomposition was observed after 5 days at 50 °C. The test substance is therefore considered hydrolytically stable.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The test material was considered to be hydrolytically stable at pH 5, 7, & 9 under the conditions of the preliminary test.

Description of key information

The study provided was conducted to recognised testing guidelines and with GLP certification.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The potential of the test substance to hydrolyse was investigated in a GLP study according to EEC directive 79/831. At pH 4, 7 and 9, less than 10 % decomposition was observed after 5 days at 50 °C (Ciba-Geigy, 1983a).
