Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PTSI is extremely water-reactive and therefore unstable in the environment. It will react immediately with moisture to form p-toluenesulfonyl amide (PTSA) and carbon dioxide. The decomposition product PTSA was found to be readily biodegradable. Based on this, a hydrolysis test and further tests on biodegradation in surface water, sediment and soil were not carried out. As PTSA has a low log Kow (0.6), it is expected to have a low potential for bioaccumulation as well as adsorption and testing for these endpoints was also not considered to be necessary.
