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.

According to peer reviewed data from Hazardous Substances Databank (number7259) an estimated BCF of 130 was calculated for N-(cyclohexylthio)phthalimide (SRC), using a log Kowof 3.66 (US EPA, 2004) and a regression-derived equation (Meylan et al, 1999). According to a classification scheme (Franke et al. 1994), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high (SRC); however, N-(cyclohexylthio)phthalimide is expected to undergo rapid hydrolysis in aquatic environments (US EPA, 2004).

The partition coefficient was determined also experimentally (using test method – HPLC) (Research Institute for Organic Syntheses Inc., 2007a) according to EU method A.8 Partition coefficient, Directive 92/69/EEC. Partition coefficient (log P) of the N-(cyclohexylthio)phthalimide Log P=3.19 ± 0.37 was measured atand pH= 6.9.

Recalculated bioaccumulation using the latest BCFBAF v3.01 is estimated as BCF = 120.7 L/kg wet-wt (Log BCF from regression-based method = 2.082) using LogKow from expert database: 3.66(Ekotoxikologické centrum Bratislava, s.r.o., 2012a). The result is comparable to value reported by US EPA, 2004. Estimated bioconcentration factor using experimental value of LogKow: 3.19 (Research Institute for Organic Syntheses Inc., 2007a)was lower: 59.12 L/kg wet-wt(Log BCF from regression-based method = 1.772) (Ekotoxikologické centrum Bratislava, s.r.o., 2012a).
