Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Degadation of butan-1-ol by abiotic processes are of minor importance. Due to its molecular stucture, i.e. absence of hydrolyzable groups, Butan-1-ol exhibits no potential for hydrolysis. Furthermore, after evaporation or exposure to air, the product will be slowly degraded by photochemical processes (t1/2 = 46.3 hours). Direct photodegradation in water is unlikely, since Butan-1-ol shows no relevant absorption above a wavelength of 295 nm. There are no data concerning the phototransformation in soil available, however these are not required for a registration under REACH.
