Description of key information

After evaporation or exposure to the air, the product will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
2.54 h
Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
5 000 000 cm³ molecule-1 d-1

Additional information

Based on a calculation according to AOPWIN v1.92, the tested substance is indirectly photodegraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere with a half-life (t1/2) of about 2.54 hours taking into account a 24-h day and a mean OH radical concentration of 0.5E06 radicals per cm³. (BASF SE, 2010).
