Description of key information

2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) is not readily biodegradable as seen in an OECD 310 test. Based on its chemical structure, 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) cannot be hydrolysed.

Considering the low water solubility (< 1 mg/L) and low vapour pressure of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) (8.0E-02 Pa at 25 °C), in combination with its potential for adsorption to solid particles (log Koc = 4.55), soil and sediment are expected to be the main environmental compartments for the substance if released into the environment.

The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of the substance in fish was found to range from 810 and 2200. Hence, the substance exhibits a potential for bioaccumulation in fish.
