Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Hydrolyses fast (DT50 = 20.0 min at 25 °C and pH 7) to ethanol, HCl and CO2 (OECD TG 111; SafePharm, 2003). Ethanol is hydrolytically stable (OECD, 2005).
In air, ethyl chloroformate is expected to be photodegraded by OH-radicals with a half-life of 9.66 d (US EPA, 2008). This estimation refers to dry air. In mist, rain, droplets and aerosols hydrolysis will be the major fate process in air due to the short half-life in aqueous solutions.
Hydrolysis product ethanol: Based on the selected value of 3.27E-12 cm³/(molecule*sec) for the measured OH radical rate constant at 25 °C (OECD, 2005) and assuming a 24-h day with a mean concentration of 0.5E06 OH/cm³, a half-life of 4.9 ± 1 d can be calculated.
No data are available for phototransformation in water or in soil.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
