Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Study design

Test substance input data:
Distributions were calculated with the following factors:
isobutyl methacrylate
molecular weight: 142.2
Henry's LC : 0.000523 atm-m3/mole (Henry database)
Vapor Press : 1.58 mm Hg (user-entered)
Log Kow : 2.95 (user-entered)
Soil Koc : 46.5 (KOCWIN MCI method)

Results and discussion

Percent distribution in media

Other distribution results:
The potential environmental distribution of isobutyl methacrylate obtained from generic level III fugacity model under two emission scenarios is shown in the table.
The results show that if isobutyl methacrylate is released mainly into air, it mainly remains in the air. And if it is released into water, it also mainly remains in the water. i-BMA does not have a significant presence in soil or sediment.
Compartment Amount %

Water 3.34 97.5
Soil 0.809 0.0176
Sediment 0.01 0.366

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Using a valid modeling approach, if the test substance is released mainly into air, it mainly remains in the air.  And if it is released into water, it also mainly remains in the water.
Executive summary:

Using a valid modeling approach, if the test substance is released mainly into air, it mainly remains in the air. And if it is released into water, it also mainly remains in the water.
