Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Additional information

Phototransformation in air

After evaporation or exposure to the air, the substance will be slowly degraded by photochemical processes.

Hydrolysis

The test substance is hydrolytically stable.

Biodegradation

The substance is partly/moderately biodegradable, but not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.

Bioaccumulation

Accumulation of 3-(chloromethyl)heptane is possible (log Kow >4), its metabolites are not expected to accumulate significantly in organisms (log Kow < 4, readily biodegradable).

Adsorption / desorption

Significant adsorption to the solid soil phase is expected.

Henry's Law constant

From the water surface, the substance will rapidly evaporate into the atmosphere.

Distribution modelling

Over time, the substance will preferentially distribute into the air (97.5%).
