Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Atkinson (1988) estimated a rate constant for indirect photolysis for guaiacol of 0.0000000000317 cm3/(molecule.sec) and a half-life with hydroxyl radical of 0.5 days. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment
