Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The data refer to the uncharged molecule (calculated pKa value: 10.59). Over time, the uncharged substance will preferentially distribute into the compartment sediment (50.0%) and soil (49.5%).

However, since the model does not consider the ionic form of the molecule at environmental relevant pH conditions (5 -9), the model may underestimate distribution into water.
