Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis is negligible.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance with column 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex VIII, the testing for hydrolysis as a function of pH is not required as the substance is readily biodegradable.

In addition, supporting QSAR-studies for its main components using SRC HYDROWIN v2.00 indicate, that hydrolysis represents a negligible pathway for the fate of the test substance in the environment (DT50 [pH 7] = 2.6 – 7.1 yrs; Hopp, 2011). This assessment is in line with a recent evaluation of substances as defined by the US-EPA HPV Aliphatic Monoester and Diester Categories (US-EPA; 2004, 2010).
