Due to their chemical structure and reactivity there is no abiotic hydrolytic degradation of carboxylic acids in aqueous environmental compartments under ambient conditions.
Description of key information
Carboxylic Acids, C5 -9 are hydrolytically stable due to its chemical structure and reactivity in aqueous environmental compartments under ambient conditions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with column 2 of Annex VIII, the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. Carboxylic acids C5 -9 are readily biodegradable (Tosin, 2018), therefore a study was not conducted. In addition, there is no abiotic hydrolytic degradation of carboxylic acids in aqueous environmental compartments under ambient conditions due to their chemical structure and reactivity (MGCOCCIA, 2019).
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.
