Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on results:
Hydrolysis was determined at pH 4, 7 and 9. At 50 °C the half-lives (t 1/2) at pH 7 and 9 were determined in range finding tests to be respectively 737 and 31.5 hours. The compound appeared to be stable at pH 4 at this temperature. More extensive tests at pH 7 for temperatures of 80 and 65 °C gave t 1/2 values of 8.8 and 82.5 hours respectively, and extrapolations (Arrhenius relation) provided an estimate for t 1/2 at 25 °C and pH 7 of around 98000 hours (4000 days). A separate test at pH 9 and 28.6 °C gave t 1/2 = 71 hours, and so it can be concluded that hydrolysis is very slow under ambient temperature conditions at pH 7, but considerably faster under mild alkaline conditions.

Additional information

The hydrolysis potential (half- life) of the test substance was determined according to OECD 111 (NICNAS, 1999). Hydrolysis was determined at pH 4, 7 and 9. At 50 °C the half- lives (t 1/2) at pH 7 and 9 were determined in range finding tests to be respectively 737 and 31.5 hours. The compound appeared to be stable at pH 4 at this temperature. More extensive tests at pH 7 for temperatures of 80 and 65 °C gave t 1/2 values of 8.8 and 82.5 hours respectively, and extrapolations (Arrhenius relation) provided an estimate for t 1/2 at 25 °C and pH 7 of around 98000 hours (4000 days). A separate test at pH 9 and 28.6 °C gave t 1/2 = 71 hours, and so it can be concluded that hydrolysis is very slow under ambient temperature conditions at pH 7, but considerably faster under mild alkaline conditions.
