Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Validity criteria fulfilled:

Conclusions:
Estimated half life of test chemical in water was 15 days.
Executive summary:

Level III Fugacity prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water for the test chemical. If released in to the environment, 18% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of test chemical in water is estimated to be 15 days. The half-life (15 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low.

Conclusions:
Estimated half life of test chemical in sediment was 140 days.
Executive summary:

Level III Fugacity prediction model was run to predict the half-life in sediment for the test chemical. The half-life period of test chemical in sediment is estimated to be 140 days. However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 10% (i.e, reported as 9%), indicates that test chemical is not persistent in sediment.

 

Description of key information

Level III Fugacity prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test chemical. If released in to the environment, 18% of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of test chemical in water is estimated to be 15 days. The half-life (15 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is not persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is moderate to low whereas the half-life period of test chemical in sediment is estimated to be 140 days. However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 10% (i.e, reported as 9%), indicates that test chemical is not persistent in sediment.
