5.3 SENSITIZATION<br />

Type : other<br />

Species :<br />

Remark : As sodium and potassium methylates rapidly hydrolyse in water to<br />

methanol and sodium or potassium hydroxide respectively, the data of the<br />

hydrolysis products are relevant for this substance as well. SIDS dossiers,<br />

SIARs and SIAPs are available for the degradation products.<br />
