Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Quantum yield (for direct photolysis):
0.002
Predicted environmental photolytic half-life:
The estimates based on two different arithmetic models (GC-SOLAR and Frank & Klöpffer) by means of the resulting quantum yield and the light
absorption in a range of wavelengths relevant for the environment were well comparable when considering identical marginal conditions. "Environmental direct photolysis half-lives" of more than 95 days can be calculated for the test item.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Only very weak degradation of the test item was measured by HPLC-UV during the maximum irradiation period of 500 minutes in pure water. This indicated a high stability of the test item against direct photo-degradation in aqueous solution relative to other compounds irradiated under the
same study conditions.
However, this assessment does not consider any indirect mechanisms, which may enhance the photodegradation in natural water.
