Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Alcohol sorption coefficients showed some time dependence, reaching a plateau by 72 h. C15 was found to be an unexplained outlier. The 72 h 

results were:
        
C       12       14       15       16       18

Kd      3000±    8490±    3080±    23800    78700
          80      920      270     ±3200    ±5400

Koc     17980    50830      -    143000   471000

log Koc   4.25    4.71      -     5.15     5.67

These data (neglecting the C15) can be interpreted as a QSAR in the usual way as:

Log Koc = 0.11 + 0.77 log Kow

R2 = 0.994

The result is in line with typical QSARs of this type.
