Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Method :

Testing was not carried out, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method C7 Abiotic Degradation, Hydrolysis as a Function of pH of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 111 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004, due to the following reasons:

• The test item is a fairly complex mixture; whereas, the test is not appropriate for complex mixtures.

• The water solubility of the test item has been determined to be less than or equal to 2.13 x 10-5 g/L at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, which is excessively low with respect to hydrolysis testing.

Therefore, as hydrolysis testing needs to be performed at a concentration of less than half of the water solubility (of the least water soluble component) and the analytical methodology needs to have sufficient sensitivity and accuracy to be able to accurately measure the decrease in concentration for each test item component over time, it was concluded that testing would be unfeasible.

A preliminary scientific assessment of the main constituents of the test item indicated that both of these constituents contain at least one potentially hydrolysable functional group.

The hydrolytic stability of the main constituents was estimated using the specialist estimation software, HYDROWIN v2.00 (September 2010), © 2000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The results are presented in Appendix 1.

Results:

Using HYDROWIN v2.00 (September 2010), © 2000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the main constituents of the test item were considered to be stable towards hydrolysis at pH 4, 7 and 9. 3.7.3

Conclusion:

Overall, it was concluded that the test item would be essentially stable towards hydrolysis at pH 4, 7 and 9.
