Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- GLP compliance:

- Conclusions:
- Hydrolysis is not expected to be a significant mechanism of degradation in the environment because hydrocarbons, C14-20 Aliphatics (≤2% aromatics) lack a hydrotically reactive functional group. Therefore, hydrocarbons are not subject to hydrolysis and this fate process will not contribute to the degradative loss of the substance from the environment.
- Executive summary:
Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a water molecule of hydroxide ion substitutes for another atom of group of atoms present in a chemical resulting in a structural change of that chemical. Potentially hydrolysable groups include alkyl halides, amides, carbamates, carboxylic acid esters and lactone epoxides, phosphate esters, and sulfonic acid esters. The lack of a suitable leaving group renders compounds resistant to hydrolysis.
The chemical constituents that comprise hydrocarbons, C14-20 Aliphatics (≤2% aromatics) consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen and do not contain hydrolysable groups. As such, they have a very low potential to hydrolyze. Therefore this degradative process will not contribute to their removal 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.
