Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- hydrolysis
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- 1993
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Remarks:
- Experimental results from this study may be disturbed by the easy oxidisability of the test substance. For the same reason, the environmental relevance of the present test results in aerobic conditions is of minor importance compared to the degradation by air oxidisation (direct or dissolved) which is much faster.
- Justification for type of information:
- FLORHYDRAL has been demonstrated to be READILY BIODEGRADABLE (74% biodegradation after 28 days, ful-filling the 10-Day window crietria) under the strict testing conditions of the OECD 301F test guideline, as such, this study can be waived.

A constant temperature water bath with a immersed six-position magnetic stirrer, was used to maintain to +/- 0.1°C temperature. - Duration:

- Preliminary study:
- Initial screening study performed at 50°C :
pH4 - Following 73 hours of incubation 28% loss of the test item was observed;
pH7 - Following 72 hours of incubation 11% loss of the test item was observed;
pH9 - Following 72 hours of incubation 20% loss of test item was observed. - Transformation products:
- not measured
- Details on hydrolysis and appearance of transformation product(s):
- Definitive Study Performed at 25°C :
FLORHYDRAL is slowly transformed in aqueous solutions at pH4, 7 and 9 at 25°C.
The kinetics are roughly pseudo-first order and calculated half-life times at 25°C are :
pH4 = 710 hours
pH7 = 620 hours
pH9 = 2000 hours
Experimental results may be disturbed by the easy oxidisability of the test substance, where the impossibility to totally exclude air from the test system could render the aldehyde function of FLORHYDRAL sensitive to oxidation in to the corresponding carboxylic acid form. Previous experiments have demonstrated that oxidation by dissolved oxygen occurs in hours (i.e. much more rapidly than hydrolysis).
The environmental relevance of the present test results is of minor importance compared to transformation via air oxidation (direct or dissolved) which is much more rapid. - pH:
