Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation:

The biodegradation of Ethyl isovalerate was determined in a reliable study according to OECD 301 D and in compliance with GLP. No inhibitory effects on microorganisms were observed up to 3 mg/L. According to OECD criteria, the test substance is readily biodegradable.

Henry´s Law constant:

Evaporation into the air is considered to be low based on a calculated Henry´s Law Constant value of 76.9 Pa m3/mol derived with the formula in ECHA Guidance R.16.

Hydrolysis and adsorption:

Ethyl isovalerate is readily biodegradable and further has a log Kow value below 3 (log Kow = 2.47). Both values indicate that the adsorption to organic sediments and soil particles is low. Furthermore, the abiotic degradation (hydrolysis) of the substance is not considered to be a relevant degradation pathway in the environment.
