Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on the Level III Fugacity Model the half life period of 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methanoinden-6-yl acetate was estimated. As per the values it was observed that in general 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methanoinden-6-yl acetate persistence time is 414 hrs.The half life period of 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methanoinden-6-yl acetate  in water is 360 hrs therefore it is considered that a substance will qualify as not persistent as the period does not exceed the EPA criteria . So, it can be confirmed that the substance is readily biodegradable in water medium. Whereas the half life period of 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methanoinden-6-yl acetate in sediment is 3360 hrs respectively and based on these values it is indicated that the chemical is persistent in sediment medium i.e not readily biodegradable.
