Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EU Risk Assessment (2003):


EU RAR, page: 24


Based on the experimental data (Korte and Freitag, 1986) on hydrolysis at 50°C,1,2,4-TCB is not expected to hydrolyse under normal environmental conditions (Howard, 1989; Schmidt-Bleek et al., 1982).


EU RAR, page: 8


The hydrolysis was studied in buffer solutions at pH 3, 7 and 9 using radioactive 1,2,4-TCB at the initial concentration of 17.7 mg/l. During a study period of 5 days, the half-lives of 1,2,4 TCB at 50°C were estimated to be 1,806 hours (75 days) at pH 3, 4,577 hours (190 days) at pH 7 and 6,889 hours (287 days) at pH 9 (Korte and Freitag, 1986). The large half-lives for hydrolysis which indicate hydrolytic stability mean that it has not been taken into account in the risk assessment.

Description of key information

For transported isolated intermediates according to REACh, Article 18, this endpoint is not a data requirement. However, data is available for this endpoint and is thus reported under the guidance of "all available data".
