Stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Review letter summarizing information related to the stability of mmt in organic solvents. IR test results supporting the review letter statements were also included.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline available
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Using infrared spectroscopy the stability of mmt in xylene was evaluated.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Test substance stable:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A blend of 90% mmt in 10% xylene (measurements by weight) demonstrated stability after seven days in storage. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the absorbance peaks from day seven overlay those from day one.

Description of key information
Additional information
mmt is stable in organic solvents, like gasoline (mixture of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons). It remains homogeneous for extended storage periods.
When a mmt (90%) in xylene (10%) mixture was evaluated by infrared spectroscopy, the day eight peaks overlayed the peaks from day 1 indicating stability of the initial mixture.
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.
