Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

 Stability

 

Phototransformation in air

If released to air, a vapor pressure of  0.251 mm Hg at 25 deg C (0.251 mm Hg is equivalent to vapour pressure of  33.5 Pa ) indicates that O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 0.224 days, calculated from its rate constant of  47.7336 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec at 25 deg.

 O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate do not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight.  

Using the AOPWIN QSAR model, the photochemical degradation rate of O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate in the atmosphere is 47.7336 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec, with a resultant predicted half live of 2.689 Hrs ( 0.224 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3))

OVERALL OH Rate Constant = 47.7336 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec

HALF-LIFE =    0.224 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3)

HALF-LIFE =    2.689 Hrs

   

Phototransformation in water

It is not applicable for a compound wich is slightly soluble or moderately soluble

 Phototransformation in soil

If released to soil, O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate  is expected to have  high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 144.4 . Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process.

Therefore testing for Phototransformation in soils does not need to be performed.

 

Hydrolysis

 

Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction during which molecules of water (H2O) are split into hydrogen cations (H+, conventionally referred to as protons) and hydroxide anions (OH−) in the process of a chemical mechanism).

 The hydrolysis of the substance was less than 10% over the 5 days, so a definitive test was not performed. Based on these results, O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate was hydrolytically stable (half life > 1 year) specified by the OECD Guidelines .
