Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The hydrolysis study has been performed on DMH (Dimethyl Hydantoin) and has been used for read-across purposes. The results of the study demonstrated that DMH was not hydrolyzed in aqueous media at a pH of 5 and 9. At a pH of 7 hydrolysis of DMH was minimal, resulting in very long half-lives. At pH 7, half-life is 3194 d in TRIS Buffer at 25°C and at pH 7 in HEPES Buffer 1715 d.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The hydrolysis study has been performed on DMH (Dimethyl Hydantoin) and has been used for read-across purposes.

The parent compound did not significantly hydrolyze in the pH range 5-9 as determined by thin layer and high performance liquid chromatography. The half-life of DMH was greater than 1700 days at pH7. Half-lives were not
calculated for pH5 and pH9 systems as positive slopes were obtained based on the linear regression analysis of the
data.
