Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
hydrolysis
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable

Description of key information

Hydrolysis is not relevant due to ready biodegradability (RA-A CAS 4418 -26 -2).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the abiotic hydrolysis of the substance are available. However, according to Annex VIII, column 2, 9.2.2.1., Regulation (EC) N° 1907/2006, testing is not required when a substance is readily biodegradable.

A ready biodegradability test (OECD 301 F) is available for a structural analogue of the substance (DHA-Na, CAS 4418-26-2), according to which the substance is readily biodegradable. This is supported by a screening study available in the literature in which the biodegradability of the substance was tested in a range of methods - the coupled units test, the Zahn-Wallens test, the Japanese MITI test, the modified OECD screening test and the closed bottle test. High levels of biodegradability were reported for each test.

Based on read across approach, hydrolysis is therefore not expected to be a relevant pathway.
