Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Hydrolysis is not expected to be a relevant degradation pathway for methyl hexanoate (CAS No. 106-70-7) in view of its estimated half-lives (i.e., 3.3 years and 121 days at pH 7 and 8, respectively; HYDROWIN v2.00) and the fact that the substance is readily biodegradable. The vapour pressure reported for this substance (i.e., 496 Pa at 25ºC) indicates its potential for volatilization into air. Nevertheless, methyl hexanoate is susceptible to undergo indirect photodegradation in air (by reaction with OH-radicals), with an estimated half-life of 81.6 hours (AOPWIN v1.92).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
