Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Ethanethiol is not readily biodegradable, with no biodegradation observed in 29 days (Clarke 2011). With a reported logKow of 1.5, ethanethiol is not expected to bioaccumulate or adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water. Ethanethiol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to a lack of functional groups, but is expected to degrade abiotically in the atmosphere through photolysis with OH radicals with a half-life of 0.36 days.
A calculated Henry’s Law Constant of 544 Pa.m3.mol-1at 25°C indicates that the substance has the potential to volatilise rapidly from surface water. [Calculated in EUSES v2.1.2 based on molecular weight = 62.13 g/mol; vapour pressure = 58.9 kPa at 20°C; water solubility = 8860 mg/l at 20°C]
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
