Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in air

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate entering the atmosphere will be relatively quickly photodegraded by reaction with OH radicals. Based on a OH radical concentration of 5E05 radicals/cm³ (24 -h d) and a reaction rate constant k(OH)=21.8130E-12 cm³/molecule x sec an atmospheric half-life t1/2=17.7 h at 25°C can be calculated. The photodegradation of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate in air via OH radicals was calculated using EPIWIN v3.20, AOPWIN v1.92.

 

Hydrolysis

According to REACH Regulation (Annex VIII, 9.2.2.1, column II), the study on hydrolysis needs not to be performed as the water solubility of the test substance is <1 mg/L at 20°C and the test substance is proved to be readily biodegradable.
