Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Koc (based on log Kow) = 138300; log Koc = 5.14
Koc (MCI) = 26050; log Koc = 4.42

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No studies investigating the adsorption/desorption behaviour of dodecanoic acid, hexyl ester (CAS No. 34316-64-8) are available. Using KOCWIN Program (v2.00), log Koc values of 5.14 and 4.42 were calculated, based on log Kow and on molecular conductivity index (MCI), respectively. Based on the calculated values, the substance has potential to adsorb.

Additionally, an experimental study conducted with the structurally similar category member Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18 unsatd. branched and linear, butyl esters (CAS No. 163961-32-8), according to EU Method C.19, resulted in a log Koc of 5.63 (White, 2003).
