Description of key information
Additional information
Considering the log Koc values reported for this substance (i.e., 1.5-2.1), low adsorption of methyl hexanoate (CAS No. 106-70-7) to soil and sediment particles is anticipated. Based on its water solubility (1330 mg/L) and Henry's Law Constant value (37.5 Pa m3/mol), if released into the environment methyl hexanoate will be mainly distributed in the aquatic compartment, with some potential for volatilization into air. Nevertheless, due to its ready biodegradability and susceptibility to undergo indirect photodegradation (by reaction with OH-radicals) in air, persistence of this substance in the environment is unlikely.
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.
