Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

QSAR-disclaimer


In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met.


According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.


For the assessment of phthalonitrile (Q)SAR results were used for the estimation of the Henry’s Law constant. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.


Therefore, further experimental studies on the Henry’s Law Constant are not provided


 


Assessment


The Henry's Law Constant (HLC) was calculated by use of HENRYWIN v3.20, which is part of the EpiSuite v4.11 model calculation tool. For phthalonitrile the Henrys Law Constant was calculated to be 0.051 Pa m3/mole at 25°C (BASF SE, 2021). The substance is not completely within the applicability domain, since the number of instances of Car-CN bond is exceeded by one instance. All other bond contribution values are not exceeding the maximum number of instances of each bond.


Overall the low HLC indicates that the substance will not evaporate from the water surface into the atmosphere.
