Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In the presence of water, maleic anhydride rapidly hydrolyzes to form maleic acid. The half-life of the
hydrolysis of maleic anhydride to maleic acid in water at 25oC has been determined to be approximately 22 seconds.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
