Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

WoE approach was used to select the key value from the Log kow values of the constituents of the target substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-0.577
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

As the target substance is hydrolytically unstable, the Log Kow value of the target substance is not relevant for further risk assessment, Instead, the degradation/hydrolysis products, i.e. acetic anhydride and acetic acid are taken into account in the assessment. The substance is composed of acetic anhydride (5 -10 wt. %), adipic acid,di-anhydride with bis(acetic acid) (50 -62 wt. %) and acetic acid (30 -35 wt. %). The physical and chemical properties of the target substance substance are related to the properties of acetic anhydride due to several possible side reactions and the decomposition of the product. Therefore the Log Kow value of acetic anhydride (-0.577) is used as a key value in the CSA.
