Description of key information
In contact with water the substance will hydrolyse slowly.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to Harris (1990) the structure of the test substance does not contain any functional groups sensitive to hydrolysis. In addition, the hydrolysis rate of retinyl palmitate was calculated using SRC HYDROWIN v1.67. The results showed at pH 7 and pH 8 a half-life of 2.7 years and 98.2 days, respectively. Therefore, in contact with water the test substance will hydrolyse slowly.
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.
