Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

BCFBAF Program (v3.01) Results:

==============================

SMILES : NCCCCCC

CHEM : 1-Hexanamine

MOL FOR: C6 H15 N1

MOL WT : 101.19

--------------------------------- BCFBAF v3.01 --------------------------------

Summary Results:

Log BCF (regression-based estimate): 1.03 (BCF = 10.6 L/kg wet-wt)

Biotransformation Half-Life (days) : 0.44 (normalized to 10 g fish)

Log BAF (Arnot-Gobas upper trophic): 1.07 (BAF = 11.8 L/kg wet-wt)

Log Kow (experimental): 2.06

Log Kow used by BCF estimates: 2.06

Equation Used to Make BCF estimate:

Log BCF = 0.6598 log Kow - 0.333 + Correction

Correction(s): Value

No Applicable Correction Factors

Estimated Log BCF = 1.026 (BCF = 10.62 L/kg wet-wt)

Conclusions:
The estimated bio concentration factor (BCF) for Hexylamine is 10.62 L/kg wet-wt which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000.Thus it is concluded that Hexylamine is not expected to bio accumulate in the food chain.
Executive summary:

The estimated bio concentration factor (BCF) for Hexylamine is 10.62 L/kg wet-wt which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000.Thus it is concluded that Hexylamine is not expected to bio accumulate in the food chain.
