Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Sodium 2 -methylpropan-2 -olate hydrolyses in water to form inorganic sodium hydroxide and tert-butanol. For the organic hydrolysis product a toxicity study with Daphnia magna conducted according to OECD guideline 202 is available (Burlington Research, 1992). In this study an EC50 of > 1000 mg/L (nominal) after 48 hours of exposure was determined. For sodium hydroxide no data are available since the substance completely dissociates in water and effects are related to a shift in pH values only.
