The substance was stable in water and its half-life at 25°C was greater than 1 year at pH 4, 7 and 9.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
In conclusion, preliminary tests indicate that the substance is stable in water having a half-life of more than a year at pH 4, 7 and 9 and 25°C.

Description of key information

Hydrolysis half-life: stable in water (t 1/2 > 1 yr at 25°C)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
1 yr
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Hydrolysis half-lives were determined at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 50°C in a reliable preliminary study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol and in compliance with GLP. Hydrolysis half-lives were found to be greater than one year at 25°C and pH 4, 7 and 9. The result is considered to be reliable.
