Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on sampling:
Calibration solutions were injected in duplicate. Test samples were analyzed by single injection.
The concentration of the test item in the test samples was determined immediately after preparation (t=0) and after 2.4 hours and 5 days. The samples taken at t=2.4 hours and t=5
days were cooled to room temperature using running tap water.
Analysis was performed on subsamples of 500 μL. The samples were diluted in a 1:1 (v:v) ratio with acetonitrile and analyzed.
Blank buffer solutions containing a similar content of blank spiking solution were treated similarly as the test samples and analyzed at t=0.
The pH of each of the test solutions (except for the blanks) was determined at each sampling time.
Buffers:
Acetate buffer pH 4, 0.1 M
Solution of 16.7% 0.1 M sodium acetate in water and 83.3% 0.1 M acetic acid in water. Buffer contained 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.
Phosphate buffer pH 7, 0.1 M
Solution of 0.1 M potassium di-hydrogenphosphate in water adjusted to pH 7 using 10 N sodium hydroxide. Buffer contained 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.
Borate buffer pH 9, 0.1 M
Solution of 0.1 M boric acid in water and 0.1 M potassium chloride in water adjusted to pH 9 using 10 N sodium hydroxide. Buffer contained 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.
Details on test conditions:
The buffer solutions were filter-sterilised through a 0.2 μm FP 30/0.2 CA-S filter (Whatman, Dassel, Germany) and transferred into a sterile vessel. To exclude oxygen, nitrogen gas was
purged through the solution for 5 minutes. The test item was spiked to the solutions at a target concentration of 10 mg/L using a spiking solution in 50/50 (v/v) acetonitrile/water. For each
sampling time, duplicate sterile vessels under vacuum were filled with 6 mL test solution and placed in the dark in a temperature controlled environment at 50.1°C ± 0.2°C.
