Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

There is no test on hydrolysis for 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate available. Based on the reaction of isocyantes in water, results from the hydrolysis study of the structural analogue 4 -chlorophenyl isocyanate are used to describe the hydrolysis properties of  3,4 -dichlorophenyl isocyanate.
A test was performed in order to examine the stability under conditions simulating those in the environment (pH 7, presence of light and air). The results show that 4-chlorophenyl isocyanate hydrolyses rapidly, forming CO2 and 4-chloroaniline as primary hydrolysis products. Assuming a kinetic function of first order, a half life period of 7.3 h can be calculated (Bayer Industry services, 2004).
