Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Indirect photochemical degradation of mono-, and di-(sec-hexadecyl)naphthalene as mediated by OH- attack is estimated to have half-lives of 0.148 day or 1.78 hours based on a 12 -hour sunlight day, a rate of 72.07 E-12 cm3/molecule*sec, and an average OH- concentration of 1.5E6 OH-/cm3. A 12-hour day half-life value normalizes degradation to a standard day light period during which hydroxyl radicals needed for photolysis are generated in the atmosphere.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 1.78 h
Additional information
Mono-, and di-(sec-hexadecyl)naphthalene has the potential to be degraded rapidly by-attack. However, multimedia distribution modeling predicts that the study substance will partition very little if any (0.05%) to the air compartment, partly due to its low vapor pressure (<0.00034 Pa) and its relatively short atmospheric oxidation half-life (1.78 hours). Therefore, photochemical degradation is unlikely to contribute to the loss of the study substance from the environment.
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.
