Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Abiotic degradation

- Air: Based on estimation with the QSAR model Aopwin (v1.92) the substance undergoes in air rapid degradation after reaction with hydroxyl radicals or ozone. The DT50 values after reaction with hydroxyl radicals and ozone are 1.4 hours and 38.4 min respectively. The substance will not reach the stratosphere and is therefore not considered to be a long-range transported chemical in air. The substance does not have an ozone depletion potential because it does not contain halogens and does not have the potential to reach the stratosphere (GHS, 3rd Edition, CLP, 2008).

- Water: No information on hydrolysis was required based on the readily biodegradability of the substance.

Biotic degradation

In a biodegradation screening study (OECD TG 301F), after 28 days exposure of secondary activated sludge to 85 mg/Lsubstance, 91% biodegradation was observed. Based on these findings the substance is considered to be readily biodegradable.

Bioaccumulation

Based on the experimental log Kow 2.07, BCFfish and BCFearthworm values have been calculated with the relationships/formulas by Veith and Jager (EU-TGD). BCF values were calculated as 11.5 and 2.25 L/kg, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the substance has limited bioaccumulation potential.

 

Transport and distribution

The Log Koc predicted by EpiSuite with the MCI method is 1.62 (equivalent to a Koc = 41.84 L/kg). Based on this value it may be concluded that the substance has negligible potential for adsorption to solid surfaces and high mobility in soil or sediment.

A Henry's law constant of 2.24 Pa·m³/mol (at 12 °C) was calculated in EUSES (Vap pressure 1.1214 hPa, 126.2 molecular weight and 3.02 g/l water solubility. Based on this value the substance has some potential to partition from water to air.
