Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Phototransformation in air

After evaporation or exposure to the air, the parent substance will be slowly degraded by photochemical processes. This assessment refers to dry air. In mist, rain, droplets and aerosols, hydrolysis will be the major fate process due to the short half-life in aqueous environments. Therefore this estimate may be of low relevance.

Hydrolysis

Butyl chloroformate will rapidly hydrolyse in contact with water to form butanol (CAS 71 -36 -3), hydrogen chloride (CAS 7647-01-0) and carbon dioxide (CAS 124-38-9). Therefore, for all environmental compartments except air, available data on the environmental fate and pathways of the hydrolysis products is provided.
