Description of key information

The hydrolysis of [1,3(or 1,4)-phenylenebis(1-methylethylidene)]bis[1,1-dimethylethyl] peroxide was evaluated in a study performed in accordance with OECD testing guideline 111 and EPA OPPTS 835.2110 under GLP requirements.
Extrapolated values at 25°C (using the Arrhenius equation):
 
pH 4 : half-life = 56.4 d
pH 7: half-life = 74.7 d
pH 9: half-life = 96.5 d

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
74.7 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The hydrolysis of [1,3(or 1,4)-phenylenebis(1-methylethylidene)]bis[1,1-dimethylethyl] peroxide was evaluated in a study performed in accordance with OECD testing guideline 111 and EPA OPPTS 835.2110 under GLP requirements.

 

The results from the hydrolysis test indicate that 64.6, 71.4 and 77.3% of the reaction were observed after 5 days at pH 4, 7 and 9 solutions respectively, at 50 °C. The test has demonstrated that the substance is hydrolytically stable at pH 2.6 after 24 hours. The degradation rates were calculated using first order kinetics as follows:

 

At 50°C:

 

pH 4 : half-life = 7.9 d

pH 7: half-life = 10.3 d

pH 9: half-life = 13.4 d

 

Extrapolated values at 25°C, using the Arrhenius equation:

 

pH 4 : half-life = 56.4 d

pH 7: half-life = 74.7 d

pH 9: half-life = 96.5 d
