Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Emissions of diisopropylnaphthalene will distribute prevalently in soil (76.7%) and to a much lesser degree in sediment (15%) and in water (7.8%). The fraction in air is minimal (0.448%).
The estimated persistence time is 1,110 hr (46 d).
