Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

This study determined the adsorption/desorption coefficient for the substance. A radiolabelled sample of the substance was mixed with four different soil types for 24 hrs. The samples were centrifuged, then examined for radioactivity. The soil adsorption coefficient was determined to be 22,000.

Description of key information

A study was conducted to determine the adsorption/desorption coefficient of the substance using the ASTM E47.06 Draft method. The Koc was 22000 L/kg.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
22 000

Additional information

A study was conducted to determine the adsorption/desorption coefficient of the substance using the ASTM E47.06 Draft method. A radiolabeled sample of substance wsa mixed with four different soil types for 24 hours, then centrifuged and analyzed for radioactivity. The resultant soil adsorption coefficient (Koc) was determined to be 22000 and is used as the key value.
