Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
Stability
In air, the photodegradation of 1,3 -butanediol by OH-radicals was estimated to be 14.2329 E-12 cm³/molecule*sec, leading to a half-life of approx. 27 hours (1.1 days) (ECT, 2008).
First order rate constants for photochemical oxidation in water by OH radicals were reported to be 2.2E09 L/mol*sec at pH 7 (Buxton et al., 1988; RL4). No data on phototransformation in soil are available.
Biodegradation in water
The ready biodegradability of 1,3 -butanediol was studied in a Modfied Sturm Test following OECD 301B. The test substance was degraded to 81% (CO2/ThCO2) after 29 days. The 10 -days window was met. The validity criteria were fulfilled. 1,3 -Butanediol is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria (Barnes, 2000).
Bioaccumulation aquatic/sediment:
Based on a calculated log Pow of -0.29, the BCF was estimated to be 3.2 (log BCF = 0.5) (ECT, 2008). The potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic and benthic organisms is therefore expected to be very low.
Transport and distribution
Adsorption / desorption
Based on a calculated Koc of 1 (PCKoc v1.66), 1,3 -butanediol is expected to have high mobility in soil (ECT, 2008).
Henry's Law constant / Other distribution data
The Henry's Law constant (HLC) was estimated to be 0.0233 Pa*m³/mol at 25 °C. Taking this value, volatilization half-lives of 101 and 1102 days were estimated by EPIWIN v3.20 for a model river and a model lake, respectively (ECT, 2008)
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
