Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Butyl chloroformate rapidly hydrolyses in contact with water to form butanol (CAS 71-36-3), hydrogen chloride (CAS 7647-01-0) and carbon dioxide (CAS 124-38-9). Due to this rapid hydrolysis, the assessment of the adsorption potential of the parent compound is considered to be of low relevance. For hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide no data on adsorption are available. Therefore, the assessment of transport and distribution parameters is based solely on the data available for butanol.

Adsorption/Desorption

Adsorption to solid soil phase is not expected.

Henry's law constant

The substance will slowly evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface.
