Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Phototransformation in air
Supporting information has been provided in the form of data taken from a peer reviewed database (Syracuse Research Corporation). No details on methodology are provided and the study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The Atmospheric OH Rate Constant was reported as: 6.59E-11 cm³/molecule-sec at 25 °C.
Hydrolysis
In accordance with section 1 of Annex XI it I considered to be justified to omit this study on the basis that 2,6-xylenol does not contain any functional groups which under normal environmental (pH) conditions will be hydrolysable.
Phototransformation in water
The database of the Syracuse Research Corporation (2010) reports an experimentally determined OH rate constant of 6.59E-11 cm³/molecule/s at 25 °C (Kwok and Atkinson, 1994). This rate constant agrees with a half life of 5.84 h under typical environmental conditions. One reliable study was identified on phototransformation of 2,6 -Xylenol in water using direct sunlight (Faust and Hoigne, 1987). This study measured a half life of 7.4 h at the surface and 19 h at a 1 m depth. In natural water (Greifensee), a half-life of 1.9 d was measured in the upper 1 m of the water column.
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.
