Description of key information

Hydrolysis is not relevant due to ready biodegradation.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the abiotic hydrolysis of 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate (CAS 59219-71-5) are available. However, in accordance with Annex VIII, column 2, 9.2.2.1. of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, testing is not required since the substance is readily biodegradable. In addition, a supporting QSAR calculation (HYDROWIN v2.00) indicates, that hydrolysis is a negligible pathway for the environmental fate in the environment (DT50 > 1 yr (pH 7); Gerloff-Elias, 2015).
