Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Abiotic degradation:

Air: Based on estimation with the QSAR model Aopwin the substance undergoes in air rapid degradation after reaction with hydroxyl radicals or ozone. The DT50 values after reaction with hydroxyl radicals and ozone are 1.1 hours and 3.2 hours respectively. The substance will not reach the stratosphere and is therefore not considered to be a long-range transported chemical in air.

The substance does not have an ozone depletion potential because it does not contain halogens and does not have the potential to reach the stratosphere (GHS, 6th Edition, CLP, 2008).

Water: The substance is hydrolytically stable based on its structural properties.

Biotic degradation:

In a biodegradation screening study (OECD TG 310), after 28 days exposure of secondary activated sludge to 20 mg C/L substance, 32.8% biodegradation was observed. Based on these findings the substance is considered to be not readily biodegradable.

Bioaccumulation:

BCF in aquatic species, according to OECD TG 305, corrected for 5% lipid content: 117 l/kg; BCF terrestrial was calculated using QSARs of Jager (1998) incorporated in the EUSES model and yielded a value 380 L/kg ww.

Transport and distribution:

The adsorption potential of the substance was determined in a study according to OECD TG 121 (HPLC method). Under the conditions of the test, the log Koc of the substance was determined at 3.44 (equivalent Koc = 2800 L/kg). Based on this value it may be concluded that the substance has moderate potential for adsorption to solid surfaces.

A Henry's law constant of 1.3 Pa·m³/mol (at 12 °C) was calculated in EUSES (Vap pressure 1.14 Pa at 23°C, 192.02 molecular weight and 88.9 mg/l at 22°C water solubility). Based on this value the substance will partition from water to air.

Based on Level III environmental distribution modelling using EPISUITE (assuming equal and continuous releases to air, water and soil) using the CAS number 56973-85-4, it is estimated that the majority of the substance released to the environment will partition mainly into soil (83.5%) and water (15.8%) with small amounts to air (0.082%) and sediment (0.668%).

The SimpleTreat model, which is incorporated in EUSES, simulates the distribution of the substance in a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). Model calculations show that 0% of the substance will be degraded and that 1.7%, 73% and 25.3% will partition to air, water and sewage sludge, respectively.
