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.

Additional information

Indirect photochemical degradation of isodecyl benzoate as mediated by OH-attack is estimated to have a half-life of 9.0 hours based on a rate of 14.2 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec, and

an average OH- concentration of 1.5E6 OH-/cm3. Although isodecyl benzoate has the potential to degrade rapidly by OH-attack, isodecyl benzoate is unlikely to partition to the air compartment because it has a low vapor pressure (0.00845Pa). Although isodecyl benzoate has a relatively short atmospheric oxidation half-life (9.0 hours), this process is unlikely to contribute significantly to the loss of IDB from the environment.
