Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The study can be waived due to the low log Kow value for the compound.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:

Additional information

Based on REACH guidance(Column 2 of Annex VIII), the study does not need to be conducted since the compound is expected to have a low potential for adsorption due to the its low log Kow value (0.162 at 22°C).

In addition, the estimated Koc for nitroethane ranged from 18 to 20 L/kg. This low value indicates that the test compound will have little tendency to adsorb to soil or sediment, consistent with the low log Kow value.
