Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for type of information:
In accordance with REACH Annex VIII, data point 9.3.1 (adsorption/ desorption screening) a study does not need to be conducted if based on the physicochemical properties the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption (e.g. the substance has a low octanol-water partition coefficient).
Available information on the enzymes Subtilisin and Amylase shows that enzymes have low partition coefficients (-3.1 and -2.95, respectively).
Although it was not technically possible to test the partition coefficient of the registered substance (since it is not possible to remove water without damaging the substance) it can be concluded that if it were technically possible to conduct a study - that the results would afford a low partition coefficient value.
Overall it is not considered scientifically necesarry to conduct an adsorption/ desorption study with the substance.
