Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Over time, the substance will preferentially distribute into the compartments air (3.19%), sediment (48.2%) and soil (47.7%). 
However, the model does not consider the ionic structure of the molecule at environmentally conditions. 
Therefore, the model may underestimate the distribution in water. 
    
    
    
    

Over time, the substance will preferentially distribute into the water (98.5%).

However, the model does not consider the ionic structure of the molecule at environmentally relevant pH conditions (pH 5 to pH 9; pKa value: 4.35 @ 25 °C). Therefore, the model may underestimate the distribution into water
