Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Stability
Phototransformation in air
After evaporation or exposure to the air, isobutyl acrylate will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes. The calculated half-life for a 24-hr day and 0.5E+06 OH/cm3 is 27.98 hr.
Hydrolysis
The study does not need to be conducted because the subtance is readily biodegradable (study scientifically not necessary). Nevertheless, a QSAR estimate was conducted. Isobutyl acrylate was predicted to hydrolyse slowly if in contact with water. The calculated half-life at pH 7 and 25 °C is 16.5 years.
Biodegradation
Biodegradation in water: screening tests
In a CO2-Headspace test according to ISO 14593 isobutyl acrylate was readily biodegradable (90 - 100 % (TIC/ThIC) after 28 days).
Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation test
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, no simulation tests in water and sediment are required, since isobutyl acrylate is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Biodegradation in soil
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, no simulation tests in soil are required, since isobutyl acrylate is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Bioaccumulation
Bioaccumulation: aquatic sediment
The study does not need to be conducted because isobutyl acrylate has a low potential for bioaccumulation based on log Kow >= 3. The measured log Kow of 2.38 (25 °C) and the calculated BCF of 17.3 give no indication for a potential for bioaccumulation.
Transport and distribution
Adsorption / desorption
The study does not need to be conducted because the substance has a low octanol water partition coeffiicient and the adsorption potential of this substance is related to this parameter (study scientifically not necessary). However, using QSAR the log Koc of isobutyl acrylate was determined to be 1.53 (Koc = 33.8).
Henry's Law contant
From the water surface, isobutyl acrylate will slowly evaporate into the atmosphere. The Henry's Law constant at 25 °C was calculated to be 21.9 Pa*m3/mol.
Additional information
In contact with water, isobutyl acrylate will hydrolyse slowly. Photodegradation in air will proceed rapildy. In water, sewage treatment plants and soil rapid degradation is expected, since isobutyl acrylate was readily biodegradable in a screening test. Based on an experimental log Pow and calculated BCF, a potential for bioaccumulation is not to be expected. Adsorption of isobutyl acrylate to the solid soil phase is not expected. Fugacity model calculation (Mackay Level I) revealed the atmosphere as the main target compartment for distribution which is also indicated by the substance's physicochemical properties.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
